Episode 6 – Apple earnings preview, new iPods, iPhone ads

We took a break last week as we were both traveling, but we're back this week with Episode 6. We moved our Question of the Week to the beginning of the episode this week, as it provides useful context for our discussion of Apple's earnings, which are due next week. Jan talks through Apple's earnings release process, and provides some beginner's notes on what to look for and how Apple reports, as well as providing a deeper dive into Apple's reporting trends. We also talk about some specifics of what to expect next Tuesday. Our other topics this week are the new iPods Apple announced, the iPhone ads the company recently released, and the public betas of iOS and OS X, which Aaron has been trying out. Our Pick of the Week feature also returns, this time around with something rather different.
