BusinessWeek had this to say about Apple "Apple Computer, number 2 on the Tech Hot Growth ranking, is the prime example of a company that has created its own opportunities. Its breakthrough innovation in digital music has made it an international icon and propelled sales up 39% over the past 12 months, to $19.3 billion. The company sold 39 million iPods in the 2006 fiscal year, as well as 5 million Macintosh computers."
Apple ranked above AT&T in third place, Google in fourth, and HIV drug research company Gilead Sciences in fifth place. The top company on the list was chip maker Amkor Technologies.
