No, but I can guarantee that it is more than "the cost of materials going into it."

I agree, but I don't think anyone here is in any better postion than the writer to determine what would be "aggressive".

That's why I haven't published an article about it

Bogus pricing, iPod shuffle is the smallest mp3 player right now, it should have the smallest price.

No, no NO! It's the mobiBLU because it's a cube.

Actually, neither is the smallest. There are various other small (and legitimate!) companies that make smaller players (oomi is one, the new iRiver is one).

Not true. You want to generate the highest total profit, not total revenue...

assuming that variable and fixed costs don't change, wouldn't maximizing revenue = maximum profit?

If you price something at cost, you will have insane revenue, but no profit.

Oomi: 4.7 × 3.2 × 1.3 cm = 19.55 cc
IRiver (S10?): 4.2 x 3.0 x 1.08 cm = 13.61 cc
Ipod Shuffle: 1.07" x 1.62" x 0.41" = 0.711 cu in = 11.65 cc
mobiBLU: .94"^3 = 0.831" = 13.61 cc

What's worse is that Apple could have made it smaller (for the epenis I suppose?), but put on that clip which increases the depth a significant (percentage-wise) amount

i was thinking more like this (cost accounting perspective)

edit, nm i'm noob. you're right maximize profit =/= maximize revenue
