Apple ended the day at $52.37, up $1.70, an over 3% jump up as the week gets closer to Apple releasing its upcoming earnings report. This is a nice little rebound after Apple slipped into a nine month low. Fears of Apple's missing the back to school iPod season with a new model have been dominant, but Gene Munster of Piper Jaffray is reporting that they are confident Apple will release a version of the iPod that will ship in late September or October. All of this combines to make an attractive price on a stock pushed down by fears about iPod schedules right now.

Meanwhile, Steve Jobs makes the MediaGuardian 100 list at #2 for having created the iPod revolution and changing media consumption habits.
