Comments on: Motorola Q: $349 full price, but only $158 to make http://gigaom.com/mobile/motorola_q_349_/ Sat, 11 Feb 2012 03:10:21 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Oliver http://gigaom.com/mobile/motorola_q_349_/#comment-46220 Fri, 21 Jul 2006 11:24:26 +0000 http://jkontherun.wordpress.com/2006/07/21/motorola_q_349_#comment-46220 Well, the $158 seems to be the cost of the hardware components. It does not, however, include other costs such as the Windows Mobile license. It doesn’t make sense to me to not include them in the cost of the device, unless Business Week somehow thinks that Motorola is pirating the software ;-)

No discounts for you, or me! :-)
