Well, this means they’re making an average PROFIT of $360.12 on each iPod. Thanks a bunch Apple!

They also said: “For the quarter, Apple posted a net profit of $44 million”

I don’t think that the entire $44 million in profit was due to the iPod. I think it can probably be attributed to a number of products. So the $360.12 figure probably isn’t accurate.

I think they could get by with dropping the price a little bit…
