Following today’s incredible earnings report for the first fiscal quarter of 2012, Apple CEO Tim Cook sent out a company-wide email asking employees to meet in Cupertino’s Town Hall tomorrow at 10 AM. The email notes that the company will be talking about “exciting new things.”

This internal meeting follows the release of iBooks 2, iBooks Author and the iTunes U app at Apple’s education event in New York City last week.

Here’s the email Cook sent out to employees, courtesy of 9to5Mac:

Team,

Thanks to everyone’s hard work, we’re off to a great start in 2012. Last week in New York we launched a groundbreaking initiative for education with iBooks textbooks, and today we reported the strongest quarter in Apple’s history. Please join me tomorrow morning at 10 a.m. in Town Hall. We’ll review our record-setting results and discuss some exciting new things going on at Apple. The meeting will be broadcast live to many sites in Cupertino and other Apple locations. Please check AppleWeb for details.

Tim

Cook playfully dodged a question about the future of the Apple TV today during the earnings call, saying that the current set-top box is still just “a hobby.” While the Apple TV is continuing to sell well, Cook cryptically said, “We continue to pull the strings to see where it takes us.” Apple is expected to launch a standalone television by 2013, but there is no indication that tomorrow’s company meeting will revolve around such a product.
