Meanwhile, analysts at Goldman Sachs thinks the Sept. 12 announcements are just the start of a steady stream of consumer electronic announcements, according to [url=http://www.appleinsider.com/article.php?id=2032]AppleInsider[/url]. A trio of analysts lead by David Bailey said they foresee additional upside opportunities on top of their already-above-consensus earnings estimates for Apple.

"Amongst Apple's three-pronged strategy -- Mac, iPod, and new consumer electronics areas-- Bailey said the Mac side is the most under-appreciated, as the company's aggressive pricing on Intel-based offerings would accelerate an upgrade cycle within its installed base and attract new users at a faster pace," AppleInsider notes. Shares of Apple gained 56 cents, at US$73.06 in afternoon trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market.
