This keyboard is the nearest tying to the MacBook Air, just a lot thicker.

If you check my news item earlier, Apple just posted the best results of any company in history, yet there stock price dropped by nearly 10 percent.

So what is going on? Is it the people in the stock markets manipulating the share price to make themselves loaded? Maybe. Or despite the whopping headline numbers the figures actually show a slight decline, a decline that has happened now for a while. Question is, does this really matter to Apple.

The decline is in market share across the US and Europe for the iPhone. This is being more than likely eroded by android handsets. However, the sales are kept buoyant by Apple branching out in to new markets and strengthening their position in China. And China is a massive opportunity. Their other products have had varied results, but no surprises that iPod sales are lower as well as Macs. These are being eroded by the iPhone and iPad respectively. But still, despite the erosion the sale figures are still phenomenal.

What I believe is happening is market competition is finally hitting Apple. In 2007 the iPhone took the world by surprise. Competitors 5 years later have caught up and are beginning to take charge. The iPad had a head start. Not anymore. However, even if market share does drop in Europe and USA, will Apple worry too much if China and surrounding areas are lining their pockets?

Or maybe Apple does have a stunning array of new gear in the pipeline. Either way, in the world of technology change is fast and to stay at the top is very difficult if you don’t have the leading products.

Apple has just announced its financial results for the fourth quarter of the 2012 calendar year and first quarter of the 2013 fiscal year, posting record-breaking profits and revenues across the board. The company reported groundbreaking net profit of $13.1 billion on $54.5 billion revenue.

While its gross margins fell to 38.6 percent, down from 44.7 percent in the year-ago quarter, Apple sold a record 47.8 million iPhones and 22.9 million iPads during the quarter. Mac sales fell from 5.2 million to 4.1 million year-over-year, while iPod sales dropped to 12.7 million over 15.4 million one year ago.

“We’re thrilled with record revenue of over $54 billion and sales of over 75 million iOS devices in a single quarter,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO. “We’re very confident in our product pipeline as we continue to focus on innovation and making the best products in the world.”

“We’re pleased to have generated over $23 billion in cash flow from operations during the quarter,” said Peter Oppenheimer, Apple’s CFO. “We established new all-time quarterly records for iPhone and iPad sales, significantly broadened our ecosystem, and generated Apple’s highest quarterly revenue ever.”

Stunning. Who says the iPhone and iPad isn’t selling. It’s flying off the shelves.

And now the shares drop as the analyst are disappointed. Some financial person is making a mint at Apple’s expense. If anybody had a company making these numbers, that would be astonishing. These sales are being achieved in a world recession. What’s wrong with people.

I recently got a keyboard for my iPad Mini, and whilst its design was good, to type on it was actually really cramped and didn’t provide fast typing speeds.

Since, then I have been looking at what else is available and came across the Logitech Easyswitch Bluetooth keyboard. This works with all your Apple devices, Mac, iPad and iPhone. And you can switch with ease between them. See video produced by Logitech.

It is rechargeable via an included USB cable, and the keys light up at night with the aid of the auto sensor. There are a number of bespoke keys for Apple Mac functionality. The specs are –

Mac with OS X 10.6.8 or later
iPad, iPad 2, iPad (3rd and 4th generation), iPad mini or iPhone with iOS 4.0 or later
Internet connection (for software download)

Once I receive this keyboard I will write a short review.

I have been reading the tech news over the last few days, at it appears the new iPhone rumours are all over the place. Rumours of 2 screen sizes, colours and more.

Looking back at Apple’s track record the only certainty is a new iPhone that will look identical to the iPhone 5, except it will have a better camera and processor, and likely iOS 7. The option for new colours is possible, but apart from that I think that is all we will see. I would love a sub 5 inch iPhone, but I’m not sure Apple is in love so much with this idea.

What do you believe might be announced?
