Go back and look at the specs for the handheld device I'm trying to
bring to market. With an AMD 1gHz processor, and 1/4 VGA screen, I can
build them in Q10k for about  $150 to $200, and Q10M, which is what
a gaming device would be, for under $100, closer to about  $85. 

With a high volume price on an OLED screen, I can do them for about $30
less. WiFi would add about $25 to the retail price in Q10k. A keyboard would
ad $15-$20.

In Q10M, with similar specs, an OLED screen, and AMD 1gHz processor,
and Linux, it could be produced for under $200 for 10K and under $100 for
10M.
