"Where do you get that? Most of Apple's revenues and profits come from computer and software sales. Says so in the quarterly reports."

Allen, my generalization was based on the following:

Revenue from Macs: $1.6B
Revenue from iPods: $1.212B
and other music products (I would guess iTunes downloads): $265M

So, while most would be assumed to be 50% or higher, we have 1.6B from Macs and $1.477B from iPod related sales. That works out to 40% of iPod related sales from the total revenue of $3.678B. A staggeringly large portion of revenues. With Apple's target of $4.7B this qtr, I betting that the iPod and iTunes revenues will approach or surpass the 50% mark. Hence my previous comments.
