After last night's quarterly earnings call from Apple, Steve Jobs has shown that it's not all about his companies earnings but also about having a go at his competition, and boosting his ego. Well in an attempt to boos that ego, Jobs has revealed the success of Apple's slimmed-down version of the Set-top box, the Apple TV.
Jobs revealed the STB had already sold 250,000 units. This was revealed after the Apple boss was asked a question regarding a streaming model for iTunes. Jobs was keeping quiet about the possibility of music streaming, and instead went on about Apple TV's AirPlay feature, followed by the quarter of a million figure.
The number of Apple TV's sold compared to Apple's sales in iPads, iPhones and Macs in this quarter are quite small in comparison, but it seems Jobs is pleased with the results of his 'hobby product' and we'll probably be seeing greater success in the future.
