Large volume buying and I believe low or no R&D costs, since it's a volunteer effort and not-for-profit company. Just look at all of the $50 routers on the market, the SBC inside may be similiar but that $50 has to cover a full company, R&D, purchasing, shipping, storing, salaries, retail markup, etc. So $25-35 sounds possible imho. -Josh On Thu, Jan 5, 2012 at 2:54 PM, Mike Hord wrote: > I remain deeply skeptical of their ability to be profitable at this price > point. > > Does anyone else have an opinion on that matter? > > MikeH > > On Fri, Dec 23, 2011 at 4:22 PM, cdb wrote: > >> =A0According to http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-16316439 the GBP 16= ..00 >> (non network enabled, GBP 22.00 for enabled) machine is due to go into >> production early in 2012.
