if it tripped anybody else up, BoM = bill of materials

  Which is just the pile of unassembled parts, thousands of miles from where they eventually need to be :) Meaning BOM != cost

    Not really, a decent BOM will include assembly fees, logistics, factory profit, and freight for parts (which is negligible with quantities over a few thousand). Of course if the product is successful, they could be undercut by Chinese OEMs. However, if they get to that point I'd bet they would have enough branding momentum and community that it wouldn't be a major problem.

      In the PCB world, a BOM is just the parts. Doesn't include, for example, the PCB itself, plastic cases, etc...nor freight, assembly.

  I thought it was byte order mark.
