Simple, Samsung has to sell there product in an attempt to make a profit on them, Google on the other hand is selling theirs at or near cost as a "Content delivery system". They don't need to make money up front for the device.
- general_failure 14y agoThat doesn't explain the 500 USD markup per _device_
