Oh. And if you really want to sell it as an audio device you can add a healthy margin - something like 200-300% would be common - for distributors and the fact that you are in to open a can of worms regarding licensing. If you sell this thing as an audio device, you are violating patents you have to license and while the actual cost around that may be reasonable (you need to allow for a decent minimum volume, though, don't think about selling only a few hundred devices), the process alone means you probably need somebody to work that full time plus a lawyer. Count that into your pice and you get a very different figure.
It's a common mistake made by smaller Asian electronics makers who think that just because they put a free free software with open source licenses on their devices and fulfill the license requirements of the software, they would be fine. Trade shows are full of booths with empty shelves because all the devices got seized due to this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97721 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
