How could that sort of miniscule revenue finance some servers, bandwidth, and a payment system? You'd almost think Apple were trying to make more money from selling the phones and contracts :) </lowest form of wit>

All joking aside, their app reviewers might cost more money than all their bandwidth, as they have already invested heavily in that infrastructure for the iTunes store.

Maybe, although the quality of some of the reviewing indicates to me they have a lot of automation involved. But who knows? :)
