What did Trevor say the development cost for the x1000 was? And how much did every beta board cost to make? I can't remember but it was a lot, and he had to add that price to the board which made it even more expensive than it would have been with it's small batch number alone. People loudly complain about it's price but it seems to be fairly accurate considering. People just don't expect design, development and testing to cost that much. But it does.
