Wow, that's quite a chunk of their business.

Apple announced today that more than 40 billion apps have been downloaded from its App Store for the iPhone and iPad — which has led to more than $7 billion in payments to developers.

If Apple paid out 7 billion, you can only imagine how much THEY made. The App Store is making a killing.

You can calculate what they made: Apple takes a 30% cut on everything they sell in the App Store.
So they made 3 billion on the App store for non Apple products.

Math works much better than imagination.
