  * Be careful to compute the actual cost of outsourcing (eg: include transportation costs, added time to write specifications, rework, etc). This is particularly hard to do accurately. * Having some in-house production people help keep vendors from bamboozling on costs. * Retain enough production in house to have enough cash flow to develop V2 * Out-source for better facilities (eg: they have higher precision machines than what you can afford), not that they are lower cost (eg: they pay their employees $2/day) * It can make it harder to optimize the entire product
