Mac sales inched ahead 7 percent to 4 million, while the iPod continued its steady decline, slipping 15 percent to 7.7 million.

"Our record March quarter results drove $14 billion in cash flow from operations," reads a prepared statement by Apple CFO Peter Oppenheimer. "Looking ahead to the third fiscal quarter, we expect revenue of about $34 billion and diluted earnings per share of about $8.68."

More details of Apple's results are expected shortly, particularly in an imminent live conference call.
