    I strongly hope Efika in the end will turn out to be something cool. If this deal means it can be manufactured in China, in large volumes, then the price tag will drop to the fraction of the current one, which will mean there will be more people willing to purchase one, which will mean...

    Holy cow :-)

    I read it like it is ODM Technologies Inc that will do their own manufacturing. I'm sure they will produce it where it's cheap enough, I mean, for 50,000 units even pennies makes a difference ... ;-)
