Right, so your arguments basically say that, if you cant do it yourself cheaper, then you can't argue. Well thats a great idea. Maybe I should pay £7000 for a graphics card, because "I can't make one the same for cheaper", sorry, but that argument is utter bollocks. Just because you can't make one cheaper yourself doesn't mean that you can't complain about high pricing. The same argument was bought up against software "Oh, if you can't make a better one then stop moaning/critisizing it" that statement is plain stupid and is basically a developer/creator argument to try and stop people complaining about problems.
The expensiveness caused by small sales, and rip off pricing are two completely different things that you dont seem to want to differentiate between. Yes, the Surf would be quite expensive, but current pricing for lots of things is way above the "small amount" barrier.
I don't see any logic to back up your argument either other than the same "It's expensive because not many are made" statement which is moot for the reason I have just stated.
