iPod isn't a money maker neither is the iTunes music store.
Well, that's the theory, but most of Apple's significant wad of ready cash
came from iPods this year, not macs.

But separating out the iPod earnings is hard to do, and it something
the company has not done.


Err, they just did it.

Quote :

Of the $8.279 billion in net sales reported for FY04, Apple's Macintosh
line -- Power Macs, PowerBooks, iMacs, eMacs and iBooks -- brought in
$4.923 billion. The iPod brought in another $1.3 billion for the company
in FY04. Its iTunes Music Store and other iPod-related accessories and
services brought in another $278 million. The remainder came from sales
of peripherals, software and services.

End of quote.
