Research firm iSuppli has revealed the cost of the G1's components and materials to be $144.
Quote:
The company iSuppli said its "bill-of-materials" estimate, which does not include costs for software, research and development, manufacturing or accessories, was based on a cost model rather than a physical examination of the phone.
It has not yet conducted a physical teardown to determine whose components are inside the phone, but said on Tuesday the G1 contained a multimedia microprocessor and modem core designed by Britain's ARM.
