Are you sure about that?

A dozen folks for 3 months, changes with their contract manufacturer (or to their mainboard printing).. $5m maybe?

They'd only need to sell 10,000 additional phones to break even. Hell this community alone could probably pick up a sizable portion.

If they added an HDMI port, they could launch a massive new advertising campaign. Bundle it with a bluetooth keyboard and mouse, and say "ditch your laptop."
