The massive irony of that graphic from Amazon is that they are not even an authorized reseller of the iPad and all those entries are from other 3rd parties reselling iPads all above list price. Notice the prices - all at or above list - most of th…

Apple seem to knock off a major revenue competitor every year and will do so again this year. With Apple's FY ending in September, the $108Bn is not really CY2011 which would include the insane holiday quarter (which was about $20Bn more than the …
