>>$5.7B in Revenue for the 4th Quarter isn't too shabby.

Of course, admittedly, we do not know what margins were.<<

Dave -

It's possible that the margins were a bit thinner than for the previous quarter, due to the much heavier mix of iPods, which sell at lower gross margins than computers and software.

If we assumed that margins were about the same as last quarter, where the net profit was around 11.6% of revenue, then 5.7 billion in revenues would yield around 661 million, or 76 cents per share, in net profits.

I'm going to assume that margins won't be the same, so figure somewhere between 65 and 70 cents per share. If I'm doing my math correctly, that is.
