• Hardware – $137.83
• “manufacturing and basic test costs” - $9.58
• “software and licensing costs” – $22.61
• “shipping, logistics, marketing and other channel costs” – unknown
• Regaining the developer passion that created thousands of useful apps for the old Palm OS – priceless
• Getting the most out of its partnership with Sprint - priceless
• Marketing the gadget like their lives depended on it (because it really does) - priceless

Oh don’t mind the last three items: those are some of the things I think Palm has to do if the Pre has any chance of making an impact. Regaining the good ol’ glory days—and making money of an app store—can come later.
