Hi!
It is hard for an small company to produce low-priced products. I have tried, and even an small and simple device that you could get in the market for around US$80 ~ 100, I can't go under US$150 in sell price.... why?: I'm producing small quantities, maybe if I go to 1000-10000 units at a time, I could go under US$100, or maybe under US$50, but I'm producing very small quantities: about 5 ~ 15 units at a time.
Anyway, when you go embedded, you need to optimize the code a lot in order to reduce memory and processor requirements and reduce the overall cost of your solution. When you reduce processor and memory a lot, you reduce costs, but you also reduce the possibility of expanding your product: that's something many companies do, and that's why you get "cheap" devices, but they are not expandable, many users don't care about that, and the companies know that.
I hasn't reviewed the Wizpy (I'm still looking for the hardware features, but I don't see them :( ), I think they just have oversized processor and ram size, which is good and bad.
Does anybody knows what are the hardware specifications for the wizpy?
c-ya!
