I wouldn't put too much into this.
- pmorici 17y agoWell iSupply is being dishonest in forgetting to mention manufacturing costs and all that other over head that goes into making the device but from a purely materials perceptive they may be correct.
- mschy 17y agoThe iSuppli press release is titled 'Google Nexus One Carries $174.15 Materials Cost.' The third sentence reads "This total comprises only hardware and component costs for the Nexus One itself and does not take into consideration other expenses such as manufacturing, software, box contents, accessories and royalties." Your accusation seems spurious at best. Some might call it dishonest.

- pmorici 17y agoI'm talking about the daringfireball article. Not the posted one. on second look perhaps it's just the secondary articles that are misquoting. If you don't like the word dishonest replace it with exaggerated.
- mschy 17y agoYou said iSuppli was being dishonest. They weren't. They're not exaggerating either. iSuppli isn't responsible if daringfireball (or anybody else) mangles their actual statements. I'll stand my statement that you are dishonest, and at your suggestion I'll add an addendum that you're exaggerating the scope of iSuppli's responsibility.

- akamaka 17y agoI usually like Gruber, but he shouldn't blame iSuppli for the way fanboys complain about profit margins. I've never seen iSuppli do anything except take products apart and look at what parts are inside. They're simply providing a service to investment analysts and competitors.
