At the very least they'll have to keep their app store open for a while since it will be the only way they'll ever recoup the costs from getting well under 1/3rd of even just the parts cost ($300-$325 according to teardowns. Add in manufacturing, R&D, shipping, and marketing costs and I'd surprised if they're getting even a fifth of their costs back).
