Note that their production costs alone are undoubtedly *well* in excess of $150 -- probably more than $300, I'd guess. It's truly amazing the difference in prices you see when you're talking about, e.g., a cell phone where you can sell a MILLION in a year vs. these kits where they'll be lucky to sell a THOUSAND in a year.

neat idea, but would rather see dual core adam based device.a 750 mhz is gonna be slow.also the resolution could be better...but might make a neat tv remote and stock ticker etc.

Awesome concept, horrible price for those specs though. :-/ I would love to see a kit using a 7in or bigger screen and toting the latest ION and ARM processors for $400ish.

The price is terrible for the specs it has. Low res screen, small diagonal size, fairly anemic processor... for $400? I'll pass, but thanks for stopping by!
