Nah! A1 buyers are more likely to realize that A1's are being sold at a sustainable price.
i.e. That Eyetech is NOT going to loose money with each one they sell.
That means that the A1 has a better chance of surviving

And how do you know Pegasos 2 will not being sold at a substaibable price?

If the Pegasos bords are still sold at a profit then all they have to worry about it overhead.

Come on give Pegasos a break if Eyetech anounced a price cut lower then Pegasos I don't think you'll be bitching about it.

But what kind of quality are the componants they are using as they say you get what you pay for and the cheaper something is the cheaper the componants will be after all a bmw cost more and is better than a peugot,just because something is cheap it does not make it any good.

Yes your right just becouse somthing is cheaper doesn't make it better but just becouse something is more costly doesn't make it better either.

So -- if the sales price of the Peg2 is as advised --- what (if any) did they do about:
«1» The money spent on April1 and April2?
«2» The money spent on the re-design of their motherboard?
«3» The money spent on Software design for their new motherboard?
«3» The money spent on changing their production line?

But none of that comes under production cost that is R&D and setup cost.  As long as they have a profit per board what is the big deal?

For all you know they could be planning to make it up later with more sales.

What ever their plan it is pointless to argue about it since we don't have that info.
