Don't do it, kids.

Great article by the way.]]>Jan 15th 2010 3:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/droid-more-valuable-than-nexus-one-or-iphone-3gs-according-to-is/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/droid-more-valuable-than-nexus-one-or-iphone-3gs-according-to-is/

Great article? iSuppli looks at the cost of PARTS and tries to claim that's the 'cost' of certain gadgets... eh.. pretty facile, if you ask me.
They make assumptions about whether or not, say, Motorola, got volume discounts (Apple always gets a good deal because they buy 50 million units)

"Labor costs?" Meh, too much work to find out..
"R/D costs?" Uh? Whats that.

iSuppli just makes geeks cry about imaginary profit margins and complain about high priced toys.]]>Jan 15th 2010 4:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/droid-more-valuable-than-nexus-one-or-iphone-3gs-according-to-is/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/droid-more-valuable-than-nexus-one-or-iphone-3gs-according-to-is/Breakdown Details: http://bit.ly/nexus-one-updates-detail-opinions

iSuppli (in the future) should include cost beyond just the hardware -- But I guess it'll be too hard for them especially if G won't conceal it for public reckoning. ]]>Jan 15th 2010 4:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/droid-more-valuable-than-nexus-one-or-iphone-3gs-according-to-is/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/droid-more-valuable-than-nexus-one-or-iphone-3gs-according-to-is/Jan 15th 2010 9:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/droid-more-valuable-than-nexus-one-or-iphone-3gs-according-to-is/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/droid-more-valuable-than-nexus-one-or-iphone-3gs-according-to-is/hey man your right,but would you tell me a pc or a notebook with all its part and its complexity and its advanced programing is grown from tree ?????that is so cheap in compare with an droid or iphone

(that is to say, all these phones pretty much cost the same amount to make)

$174.15 - $8.50 = $165.65
$179.11 - $35 = $144.11

ie. the Nexus One as a machine is more valuable, it seems to me...]]>Jan 15th 2010 3:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/droid-more-valuable-than-nexus-one-or-iphone-3gs-according-to-is/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/droid-more-valuable-than-nexus-one-or-iphone-3gs-according-to-is/

On the 3GS? It's pretty awesome isn't it, Chaz?

Oh wait. You didn't know the 3GS could multitask? Doh]]>Jan 15th 2010 1:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/droid-more-valuable-than-nexus-one-or-iphone-3gs-according-to-is/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/droid-more-valuable-than-nexus-one-or-iphone-3gs-according-to-is/
Sorry, but having to "hack" your phone to get it to multi-task doesn't count. The 3gs is VERY capable of multitasking and a host of different features, but the "fragmentation" of android that apple fanboi's love to mock is what allows the platform to mature so fast. Apple's habit of making everything backwards compatible is what is crippling the 3GS (as jailbreaking shows)

You better hope they don't continue the habit for the next generation of iphones]]>Jan 15th 2010 3:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/droid-more-valuable-than-nexus-one-or-iphone-3gs-according-to-is/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/droid-more-valuable-than-nexus-one-or-iphone-3gs-according-to-is/Jan 15th 2010 6:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/droid-more-valuable-than-nexus-one-or-iphone-3gs-according-to-is/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/droid-more-valuable-than-nexus-one-or-iphone-3gs-according-to-is/

1) you've obviously not handled an android device before, let alone a droid.
2) This phone is very different from the razor (see #1)
3) These cost breakdowns don't take RD, manufacturing, etc into account. They are interesting for numbers, but not as actual facts to base arguments off of about price gouging. ]]>Jan 15th 2010 3:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/droid-more-valuable-than-nexus-one-or-iphone-3gs-according-to-is/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/droid-more-valuable-than-nexus-one-or-iphone-3gs-according-to-is/Jan 15th 2010 3:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/droid-more-valuable-than-nexus-one-or-iphone-3gs-according-to-is/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/droid-more-valuable-than-nexus-one-or-iphone-3gs-according-to-is/Jan 15th 2010 9:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/droid-more-valuable-than-nexus-one-or-iphone-3gs-according-to-is/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/droid-more-valuable-than-nexus-one-or-iphone-3gs-according-to-is/
