Well,
Since we discussed this in depth last night, I thought I'd do my research
and come up with the cost of the iOpener to Netpliance. Now, keep in mind,
this is the cost to _Netpliance_, not the cost of fabrication...
The following numbers are from the NPLI SEC filing...
For 30,000 units, NPLI payed:
2,300,000 to Quanta as a down payment on the units
5,700,000 to Quanta to cover the rest
500,000 to QNX for the operating system customization
247,000 to QNX for licensing
Which works out to about $291.57 per unit. Hmm...
