Apple has released its 3rd quarter sales report outlining the record sales of the Macs and iPods. Peter Oppenheimer, Apple’s CFO is all happy about the revenue growth and says that the iPhone 3G saw a good start and is sure to boost the achievement of Apple when the next report comes out in the coming quarter.

Apple has around 10,300 Mac outlets for which 2,496,000 Macintosh computers were shipped during the quarter. This represents 41% unit growth and 43% revenue growth over the year ago quarter. The number of iPods sold in this quarter is estimated at 11,011,000 making 12% unit growth and 7% revenue growth over last year’s quarter. Here is the report at a glance:
