iPhone 3G cost could be as low as $100, but not likely

Does the iPhone 3G only cost $100 to make? Not on your life. Several sites have cited an article from EETimes, which in turn cites Portelligent, an Austin-based "teardown" analysis company that believes the iPhone 3G has a bill of materials around $100. Portelligent arrives at this conclusion based on a teardown of the original iPhone plus some speculation of what chips and components are included in the latest iPhone hardware, not on an actual teardown of the iPhone 3G. However, the mere cost of the materials used, even when accurate, is still not a good indicator of the cost to produce any manufactured device—especially not one as complex as an iPhone.

The new iPhone will cost less than the current model, but the service plan for it will cost $10 a month more, meaning an additional $240 over the life of the two-year contract with AT&T Wireless.

The new iPhone, praised for being cheaper than the current model, will actually cost consumers more because of a higher monthly service fee by carrier AT&T.

Xbox 360 breakdowns due to Microsoft cost-cutting?...

Widespread failures of launch-model Xbox 360s are mainly due to Microsoft efforts at cost-cutting, a Gartner analyst claims. Bryan Lewis, the latter company's VP of research, says that when Microsoft was originally designing its game console, it wanted to omit third-party ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit) vendors from its graphics hardware, saving tens of millions of dollars. In designing its own graphics technology, however, it produced chips which regularly overheated, forcing recalls that cost the company over $1 billion.

Why ETFs And 401(k)s Will Never Match

Exchange-traded funds, long known as a low-cost method of investing for individual investors, are receiving increasing media exposure as a potential solution to reduce 401(k) plan fees. In fact, ETFs have been touted by at least one firm as the "low-cost solution for 401(k)s." The reason for the increased media exposure for ETFs is relatively straightforward: On average, ETFs cost less (i.e., have lower expense ratios) than actively managed mutual funds. However, comparing passively managed ETFs with actively managed mutual funds ignores the fact that there are already passive index mutual funds that are being used in retirement plans today.

How Cisco Uses Rich Media for Online Customer Events and Seminars

The Cisco Event Marketing organization generates high-quality sales leads by producing live streaming-media events for global Cisco customers. The economics of lead generation from online events are favorable compared to Cisco in-person events based on cost per registrant, cost per attendee, and cost per lead. What’s more, a higher percentage of leads from online events convert to sales.

Low Cost Quantum Dots For Biological Research Produced Through Microwave Synthesis

Materials researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed a simplified, low-cost process for producing high-quality, water-soluble "quantum dots" for biological research. By using a laboratory microwave reactor to promote the synthesis of the widely used nanomaterials, the recently published NIST process avoids a problematic step in the conventional approach to making quantum dots, resulting in brighter, more stable dots.
