    $5 billion of that will be from iPod replacement batteries...

    [obDisclaimer: I own a 1stG iPod and a 2ndG iPod - batteries still as good as new. But the headphones......
    And of course, they would get to that $10 billion sooner if they would release a G5 laptop.
    I can personally guarantee them to get $3k closer when they do...]

    My screen failed when I used it to hammer stakes for my tent on a camping trip.

    Imagine how dissapointed I was when I couldn't use the iPod for the rest of the trip!

    Now I hear you can't easily replace the battery when it runs out of charge?

    Amazing people put up with this product!

    (Please note the sarcasm.)
