When I said $80 I's thinking of the material cost (and manufacturing), exclusively. Of course you can't get any such screen for $80 from those who sell them. My point being that most of the cost is in the development value - not the material. And by amputating the software in the manner that Sony did, the development value becomes all worthless.
