That's gross sales. How many do they need to sell to acquire net profit?

$60,000,000 : $499=120,240 iPads for the cheapest model
Silly me. I hadn't done that simple arithmetic. They could recoup this cost in the first day of sales.

Onward and upward.

[edit]

The profit margins being what they are, we can see that the number of iPads Apple would have to sell in order to recoup the total cost of the settlement in profits would be some small multiple of the above figure. Maybe three times. So the whole first weekend of sales. :-)
