The isupply table says "$8.66 in Conversion Cost"-- is that the same thing as construction cost? I googled "conversion cost" and it sounded like conversion cost was used to apply factory overhead (building, etc.) to the cost of building a widget-- maybe "overhead" includes labor costs as well.

Update: reading the engadget version of this story they say: "conversion costs-i.e., manufacturing expenses and the battery". So that sounds like labor, etc. is included as well.
