Thank you! That is exactly what I said:

You will note that AAPL has 1,800,000,000 shares authorized.

However, you will note that when talking about Earnings Per Share, for 2009 the number of diluted shares is 907,005,000. Therefore it is impossible for AAPL to effect a 2:1 stock split without authorizing more shares for issue.
