Sinclap -

To put it another way, for everyone else, portable music players are a low-margin, low-profit category. For Apple, they're not. Apple gets excellent margins on the entire iPod line, and makes tremendous profits selling them.

Allen has already answered you and slacker with the same response I would have given, so I'll paraphrase him again:

For Apple, computers and iPods of any kind are not low margin, low profit categories.
