Apple is getting a lot of heat for conditions at the Foxconn factory, but Foxconn also supplies parts to Amazon and B&N, among many others.

Are gadgets too cheap?

Would you pay more for a phone, tablet, or ereader that was made in your own country, or that was certified to be made under ethical conditions?

Poll coming, please be patient.
