I don't see how that invalidates my point in anyway, yes Apple doesn't make a significant proportion of their revenues from their app store, but that doesn't mean that $2 billion dollars of revenue is insignificant in absolute terms.

It is when you are trying to recoup losses form selling hardware below cost. I think App Store revenue last quarter was 1.4 billion. Take out content providers share and you are left with 420 million. This is for the entire store mind you. HP's fire sale will cost them something like 100 million and it is not as popular as the iPad. Not even Apple could pull something like this off.
