标题：苹果能做多大？
作者：Brent Schlender
乔布斯领导的软件工厂到底有多大影响力，最简单的方法就是用数字说话。乔布斯估计，今年，苹果公司通过销售应用软件和升级程序便可获得10亿美元收入，此外还要算上iTunes音乐商店和Mac在线订阅服务（会员达600,000人）所带来的其他与软件相关的收入。这样一来，总收入与去年相比几乎翻了一番，而且这一数字还未将计入辅助销售iPod和Mac电脑的软件所带来的收入。 |

How Big Can Apple Get?
By Brent Schlender
The crudest way to measure the impact of Jobs' software factory is by the numbers. He estimates that this year Apple will generate $1 billion in revenue from selling applications and updates, plus other software-related revenue generated by the iTunes Music Store and its .Mac online subscription service, which has 600,000 members. That's almost double last year's take and doesn't count the boost software provides by helping sell iPods and Macs. |
