I love Apple!  My MacBook Pro is my third arm. My iPhone is like a red velvet cupcake—decadently delicious.  Work feels like play.

Today, I listened with other Apple shareholders to the first quarter 2010 investor update.  Apple posted revenue of $15.68 billion and a net quarterly profit of $3.38 billion.  Gross margin was 40.9 outperforming gross margin of 37.9 percent a year ago.  Apple rocks!

In the final quarter of 2009, Apple sold 8.7 million iPhones and 21 million iPods surpassing last year’s holiday sales.

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

I’m ecstatic!  I can’t wait to see the knew Apple Tablet on Wednesday.  I’m expecting eye candy.  ”Stay Tuned,” Apple leaders repeated today, as shareholders pressed for a bigger bite sooner than Wednesday’s new product unveiling.

Apples are good for you-healthy even.  Everyone knows that.  Healthcare could get healthy with a regular diet of Apple.

When we speak about “meaningful use of electronic medical records” we need the kind of creative genius that is Apple’s signature.  Think about it.  A software based EMR shelf life has an expiration date past due.  There must be a better way.  Let me take a bite and see.
