I think they are way up in the clouds with wishful thinking, believing they can produce a portable PC that can actually be made and then sold for a profit at only $200. I wonder what their raw materials + labor is going to run? I seriously think they are way off the mark at $200 (it would be nice, but it's a pipedream), they should be more realistic in their projected pricing and not get people's hopes up. As I always say, only time will tell so we must simply wait and see where things go. I, for one, am not getting my hopes up (at least not for the next few years, expecting this low of a price).
