Sure, its trivial. Order 100,000 and SlimDevices will cut the price a lot. Order a million, and the price will be amazing. Consumer electronics is all about volume. You can make any chip based product sell of nearly any price, but you have to pay off the engineering and fab costs, which takes cubic sales. If there is ever a $90 squeezebox, I'm bailing out of the support mailing list. -- Pat http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
