I think they have it backwards:  the profit in printers are in the
consumables.  If your argument is correct, Apple is going to make upfront
profits on the ipods, and be sapped of those profits on the downloads.  A
withering idea.

Apple's more than making up for that with sales of iPods. Several months
back-ordered, they are. The music service just fuels iPod sales, like
printers and
ink cartridges.
