Apple Soars to 14% of Computer Sales In February

Apple Soars to 14% of Computer Sales in February
While the rest of the economy (and the computer industry along with it) flounders, Apple is apparently making out like a bandit. According to industry analyst NPD, Apple's share of computer sales rose from 9 percent to 14 percent in the month of February, while increasing its share of market revenue from 16 percent to 25 percent.

Notebook sales have been climbing in general, but Apple is growing at about three times the rate of the rest of the industry. And, most surprising, Apple's sales of desktop PCs has increased 55% since last February, a time during which the rest of the industry has seen desktop PC sales shrink by 5 percent.

Also surprising is Apple's continued revenue increases, even in the face of sagging iPod sales, which are actually down from the same time last year.
