Apple Offers New Goodies in Leopard System

State of the Art

Published: October 25, 2007

If you’re a computer company, what on earth do you add to the sixth annual version of your operating system?

It’s not as though there are any glaring holes left. Nobody is still crying out for a better way to organize photos.

That’s the challenge that Apple faced in developing Mac OS X 10.5, code-named Leopard, which goes on sale tomorrow after a four-month delay. Price: $110 online, $190 for a family pack, or free on a new Mac. As Steve Jobs points out, for that money, “everyone gets the Ultimate version.” (That’s a swipe at Microsoft, which sells Windows Vista in at least five versions costing as much as $330 for the Ultimate).

Leopard: Faster, Easier Than Vista

Upgrade of Apple's OS
Isn't Revolutionary,
But It Beats Microsoft's
October 25, 2007; Page B1

The Mac is on a roll. Apple Inc.'s perennially praised but slow-selling Macintosh computers have surged in popularity in the past few years, with sales growing much faster than the overall PC market, especially in the U.S. By some measures, Mac laptops are now approaching a 20% share of U.S. noncorporate sales, up from the low single digits where they once seemed stuck.

More to Mac sales than a halo

It's very easy to take a look at Apple's stellar fourth quarter and conclude that the long-awaited iPod "halo effect" is in full swing and move onto something more pressing, like handicapping the World Series.

For years as the iPod took over the digital music player market, we all wondered whether it was a one-hit wonder, whether Apple could translate that success into increased Mac market share. Millions of people who might not have used an Apple product since they spent the third grade playing Oregon Trail on an Apple II were re-introduced to Apple through the iPod, and for the last year or so, they would appear to be trying the other things on the menu.

Apple Market Value Soars Past Dell's on Mac, IPod

By Connie Guglielmo

Oct. 19 (Bloomberg) -- Ten years ago this month, Dell Inc. founder Michael Dell said Steve Jobs should ```shut down'' Apple Inc. and return the money to shareholders.

Dell then had a market value of $4 billion to Apple's $700 million. Apple's valuation has since soared to $150 billion, more than double that of its personal-computer rival. Last month, Apple passed PC leader Hewlett-Packard Co. in market capitalization for the first time.

Jobs changed Apple from a company dependent on the Macintosh computer to a consumer-electronics innovator. He introduced the iPod media player, and built sales to more than 110 million units by updating features. This year Apple entered the wireless-handset market, drawing more than 1 million customers to the iPhone at an initial price of as much as $599.

Earnings Soar at Nokia on Third World Demand

Nokia, the largest maker of cellphones, said yesterday that its profit surged 85 percent in the third quarter as strong demand for low-cost phones in Africa, the Middle East and Asia lifted its share of the market to 39 percent.

Market share rose from 36 percent in the previous quarter as consumers in all regions except North and South America bought increasing numbers of entry-level phones costing less than 30 euros ($43). Increased demand outside the United States more than offset slight declines in the Americas.

Apple lowers price of DRM-free songs

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Apple Inc. is lowering the prices of songs it sells online without copy-protection to 99 cents from $1.29, a company spokeswoman said Tuesday.

The reduction, which started appearing on songs Tuesday, puts Apple closer in line with rival offerings. Amazon.com Inc., which opened its online music store in September, sells tracks without anti-copying software locks for 89 cents to 99 cents.
