iTunes vs Device Earnings?
brk: Based on:
http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/01/06/itunes-sells-6-billion-...iTunes has sold 6 billion songs.  That probably includes full album sales as well as singles.  Guessing an average per-track price of 80 cents then, or 4.8 billion in revenue.According to:
http://74.125.113.132/search?q=cache:OuySBgKhHGIJ:www.applei...It looks like they make about 10 cents per song, so they've earned about 400-600million from iTunes sales.Other online stats point to about 220million iPod/iPhone devices sold, the vast majority of that number being iPods.I am going to guess that they have a pretty decent margin on iPods, 50% at least.  An average iPod is probably $200, figure $50-$100 in profit per iPod and they've easily made 10-20+ billion on iPod sales.Even in the extreme best case/worst case scenario, they've earned at least 2x from hardware vs album sales.
