Original Echo was insanely overpriced relative to BOM costs. Plus now that they have a big volume they've probably negotiated better deals for their cost-down design components.

Re: volume, the original part was an OMAP3 which ceased production creating a supply nightmare. The new part is shared with other products, so the cost should be low. Amazon does have immense negotiating power.
