> Despite what they say about getting lower price deals on components, it looks very preplanned "strategy". I was there. I've overlooked the spreadsheets with component parts, and people having phone calls and debating about how to possibly lower the cost even more. I can also say that getting to $695 wasn't straightforward at all. We all love a bit of conspiracy, but please allow a bit of credit to the people trying to pull it off.

Don't get me wrong. I support Ubuntu Edge 100%, and I am sorry that it sounded like I am fueling conspiracy. Reading marketing-speak by other companies has made me generally cynical about such announcements that seemed to me very conveniently timed. I am glad to be wrong.
