I would love it if they did this, you could have a single mac pro and dumb terminals for all the family computers. The terminals could look like iBooks or iMacs, but with less stuff inside.

Oh, and how are you calculating a per share item with out outstanding common shares in your calculation? Just curious. Are you just assuming that 100 Million shares of common are outstanding? I don't know is that correct, I haven't looked at their balance sheet to know.

Where do you get your profit margin from? Hopefully not from an assumed cost of the parts. Also, that calculation doesn't account for the monthly revenue received from AT&Tfor each iPhone user.
How come with all the cost breakdowns I've seen, no one accounts for OS development costs (it didn't sprout from the Keebler Elves Jobs keeps under his desk), G&A, marketing, R&D, etc. Everyone reports the parts look to cost $X and acts like the commercials magically appear on TV for free, that the idea for the iPhone just appeared completely engineered on Ive's desk one Monday morning and a bug free OS X for ARM processors just magically appeared on network drives. I bet these soft costs are HUGE! Since Apple publicly guessed 10 million units, that would be the lowest number they'd probably amortize these (I'm sure) capitalized costs against, but the R&D amount had to be big on these. This doesn't include the cost of future upgrades, which will be amortized against sales & revenues in order to keep the SarbOx enforcers happy.

That would be earnings, not revenue.
