Apple has posted their Q2 2010 financial results and once again its the best non-holiday quarter even, including $13.50 billion and net quarterly profit of $3.07 billion, or $3.33 per diluted share. iPhone sales were 8.75 million (up 131%) and iPod sales of 10.89 million (down 1%). Says CEO Steve Jobs:

“We’re thrilled to report our best non-holiday quarter ever, with revenues up 49 percent and profits up 90 percent. We’ve launched our revolutionary new iPad and users are loving it, and we have several more extraordinary products in the pipeline for this year.”

Apple today announced their Q1 2010 financial results, covering the all-important holiday quarter, with 8.7 million iPhones sold, and a 55% increase in iPod touch sales. Total revenue was $15.68 billion, and cash-on-hand is now approaching a whopping 39.8 billion! Says CEO, Steve Jobs:

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

Way to iTablet tease us there, big fella.

During the conference call that followed, CFO, Peter Oppenheimer and COO, Tim Cook revealed:

• 17 new carriers for the iPhone, including Bell Canada, Telus Canada, Orange France, China Unicom, Korea
• iPhone “very strong” in Japan, Australia, UK, Germany
• Business users ranked iPhone #1 in satisfaction according to JD Power
• 70% of Fortune 100 businesses piloting or deploying iPhone
• New accounting methods mean $25 of iPhone revenue deferred for “updates”
• Apple defended AT&T, said they have higher broadband usage than any other carrier, great experience for many customers, and have shared with Apple plans to improve problem cities
• 2.7 million iPhones in channel, including in-transit, invoiced to carriers, demos.
• 200,000 iPhones activated in China. Ramping slowly to ensure customer experience.
• Nothing on Nokia lawsuit.
• 90% of iPhone Apps approved in 14 days. Apple wants to protect privacy, prevent porn, defend children. Most frequent cause of rejection is bugs in app.
• Cook: Noise about App Store frustration may be higher than reality (orly?)
• Could anything equal Mac, iPod, iPhone for Apple? Wait for Wednesday!
• iPhone 3GS features accelerated corporate adoption (hardware encryption?)
• Adding carriers in existing countries earned incremental growth.
• Quattro Wireless was acquired to provide developers, especially those who develop free apps, a seamless way to earn money.
• iTunes/App Store still run just above break even, Apple reinvests revenue to maintain and improve customer experience as it scales.
• Japan iPhone growth 400%, Asia Pac iPhone growth 500%
• On Google: Apple competes with Google in some areas, works with them in others.

Geodelic [Free - iTunes link] is a location-based discovery app for the iPhone that knows where you are and uses that information to recommend points-of-interest such as restaurants, stores, and shows.

I had the pleasure of watching their show-stealing presentation at CES 2010′s Mobile Apps Showdown last week, and based on the amount of energy and creativity they put into that alone, I’m really eager to try this out and see how it develops.

We’re not smart enough to predict Apple or the iPhone in 2010 — obviously. But we know you, our magnificent readers, just might be. Check out the polls below and let us know what you think Apple and the iPhone, as well as iPod touch, Apple TV, iTunes, iTablet, and more will bring us in 2010. Note, this isn’t what you want them to do, it’s what you realistically think Apple will do.

Polls after the break!

Perennial Apple guestimator, Gene Munster of Piper Jaffray, is back in the headlines (see above) with his prognostications about an Apple iTablet, which he sees hitting market in 2010 at a price point between $500 and $700 (i.e. between the top level iPod touch and bottom level MacBook).

Apple Insider sums up the specs, which are likewise ranged: screen between 7 and 10 inches, OS between iPhone and Mac. In one interesting aside, Munster wonders if Apple would allow both a higher screen resolution into the App Store to leverage more pixels, but also let several iPhone 320×480 apps run on screen at the same time (like Mac apps do in their windowing environment). Wireless carrier subsidies, like the iPhone enjoys from AT&T are also speculated.

Our favorite line?

“In other words, we expect the end result of the expected product to be launched later but with more dramatic differentiation than the Street is expecting.”

No sooner to rumors sprout that Apple may have abandoned Macworld only to show up at CES next year, than the CEA decides to pour some miracle grow on them. Says CNet:

Jason Oxman of the CEA confirmed Saturday that the group “dedicated a special area at the 2010 CES to Apple-related CE manufacturers.” That immediately sets up an alternative for companies thinking about exhibiting at Macworld 2010, which will not have Apple present for the first time in 12 years.

No word on Apple itself actually attending of course (Dieter thinks it will never happen), but with Macworld sending out free early-bird registration offers already, this could be a way to try and lure in Mac- and iPhone-centric third parties very much on the fence about 2010.

Who would still go to Macworld if CES gets its Apple on next year?
