It is interesting to hear that, what I had assumed was strictly an electronics issue, occurs in other industries as well.
I recently read Andrew "bunnie" Huang's book "The Hardware Hacker", where he talks extensively about building electronics in China, and it sounds very familiar to this. Despite some problems with counterfeit SD cards, he eventually brought the Chumby to market.
So, it sounds like you can get great results and low prices, but you have to be able to keep your eyes on the process the whole way through, or find people you can trust who do.
But if you get it wrong, you get to write a story like Keyboard.io[1], as we discussed previously[2].
