Thursday, January 18, 2007 7:38:00 am] SAN FRANCISCO (AFP) - Apple reported a 78 percent jump in quarterly profit to a record above one billion dollars as its iPod music players flew off the shelves in the year-end holiday season. With sales of over 21 million iPods, Apple posted revenue of 7.1 billion dollars and a profit of 1.14 dollars per share in its fiscal first quarter, which ended December 30. The results far exceeded analysts' expectations of 78 cents per share on sales of 6.42 billion dollars.
