Palm Pre Costs $138 To Make?

iSuppli has always been the authority when it comes to calculating the cost of manufacturing mobile phones, and you have to admit that it has been pretty accurate. That being said, some do doubt how accurate the $138 price tag that it has slapped on the manufacturing of the Palm Pre, especially since they most likely didn’t have an actual unit to disassemble. Of course, going by iSuppli’s track record, the figures can’t be far wrong, and it looks like the Pre might actually be cheaper than the iPhone to manufacture, as the iPhone costs $174 per unit.
