don't feed the troll! obviously clueless rambling, the guy is void of any clue whatsoever about price of hardware, even about price of publicly offered modules. Not to think about him ever having heard about reflow soldering lines and how to set them up and adjust them (some 10 to 20 boards of junk may fall off the end of the line until calibrated) or production validation runs and yield (oops, the calibration is different during full moon, 25% junk. Poorly soldered USB ports on N900, anybody? Not like only idiots like we suffer from such oopses). BTW so far I'm not earning a single cent on this, I just invest 100% of my time into it, plus a little bit of my own money to get components and stuff to analyze them and design the Neo900. But sure, we could sell each device for 50 bucks more and that would earn Nikolaus and me an amazing ~800EUR/month. We might consider something like this when we reach maybe the 1000 units, and thus could sell the devices for 50EUR less, we might actually use those 50EUR less expense per device and instead spend them on pizza and coke.
