Bert, you keep quoting this number $370 as if this is fact. Did Hargreaves actually get to look at the supply contracts of Apple? Does it make sense to you that every other estimate of $200 - $210 based on tear downs, are wrong and suddenly this report is right? And what is he including in the COGS? Initial start-up costs? amortized R&D costs? Or you are just looking for anything to support your partisan position?
