No I don't see it on the list. But considering they used the Playbook as a core device and Android as an OS, I don't think their R&D is huge compared to say Apple or Google.

But the real story here is because they are making a profit they will recoup the cost eventually, and selling 100K on the first day is an indicator that they will start recouping the cost soon.
