Hi Reid,

I didn't know that, thanks.

I guess that adds significant revenue. I think the average iPod goes for $400 or so. Another 20% would be a total of $500 per customer.

Still, in the long run, I think they will make a lot more from the download revenue stream. Once you've got an iPod, you'll always need to download stuff. Gift cards for downloads was a good idea and as iPods proliferate, will become more popular when people buy gifts. Download rate right now is about 900,000 per week, and that is without adding in the effects of the downloads from people who got gifts for xmas.
