Research firm iSuppli, known for its teardowns of devices like smartphones, recently took apart a stab at estimating the cost of building Palm’s upcoming Pre smartphone. It estimates that every Pre costs around $138 to build.
That’s less than half the $300 or so that iSuppli thinks Palm and Sprint—the carrier to offer the Pre—will ask for the smartphone. By contrast, it costs about $203 to build a BlackBerry Storm, which is offered by Verizon, and $174.33 to put an iPhone 3G together.
Keep in mind, until iSuppli actually gets a Pre in its hands to take apart, there’s no real way of knowing for sure how much it costs to build Pre. If the estimate is accurate, however, then Palm could be looking forward to a healthy profit margin on the Pre.
The Palm Pre is supposed to ship during the first half of 2009. Nobody knows when exactly, however.

Thanks to my son Daniel I sort of discovered the world wide web. he told me about blogging and about forums and on the web communities like the one we are in here.
Please accept my apologies as English just isn't my native language.
I am new towards the forum and wanted to say hello to all other members in this forum.
I like being for the internet and have so far designed a single internet site.
I hope to meet those who are like minded and I also hope to come to be a valued member.
