CUPERTINO, CA - When Apple announced record breaking Q1 net profits of $3.38 billion, or $3.67 per diluted share after the stock market closed today, Steve Jobs chimed in with a very untypical hint at a major new product coming this week. a sign that "dear leader' is overcome with excitement. I am certain that El Jobso was touting his wildly anticipated iPad tablet device.

“The new products we are planning to release this year are very strong, starting this week with a major new product that we’re really excited about.” said Steve "Moses" Jobs, Apple’s CEO.

The Company posted revenue of $15.68 billion for fiscal its 2010 first quarter which ended on December 26, 2009. This compares to revenue of $11.88 billion and net quarterly profit of $2.26 billion, or $2.50 per diluted share for the same time period one year-ago.

“If you annualize our quarterly revenue, it’s surprising that Apple is now a $50+ billion company,” Jobs said.

Apple's international sales delivered huge again, accounting for 58 percent of the quarter’s revenue. With Apple's tablet event less than 48 hours away, I can hardly contain my enthusiasm. It's time to start wrapping the iPhone Savior news center in plastic in order to withstand the excessively large puddles of joy expected to overflow on Wednesday morning. After all Mr. Jobs did say "products".

“This will be the most important thing I’ve ever done” – Steve Jobs, referring to the soon-to-be-launched Apple Tablet.
