As of April, 2009 the display was...$60

Yet here you come AGAIN stating your uninformed opinion as FACT. Or are you posting what would be NDA covered company information? Sorry, I have just had it with your imaginary 'facts'.

Additionally you state that the COST to manufacture a 6" panel is $75 minimum...well if it costs $75 to MANUFACTURE a 6" panel then the cost to the device builders would be near double that....or are you confused again and mistyped something?

And we can safely assume that the price has dropped significantly since that info was posted. A safe bet that a 5" or even a 6" display will be under $30 by year end. The market will drive the price in that direction.
Actually the price went up since then.
