<description>&#60;img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/1109/amazonkindlefire-2.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' /><![CDATA[Amazon's Kindle Fire is being sold at a loss to heat up competition with Barnes &amp; Noble and Apple, IHS iSuppli estimated Friday.  Based on a list of known and expected components, it believes the seven-inch mini tablet costs $209.63 in raw parts and manufacturing, or about $10 more than its $199 asking price.  A high-quality IPS-based LCD at $87 is a large part of that cost,  while adding the dual...]]></description>

Deciding to use an LTE-based 4G chipset from Qualcomm hiked the price by almost $40 and made it the most expensive phone the analysts had ever studied, at $262.  If Apple had decided to go the same route, the price of an iPhone 4 on Verizon woul...]]></description>

<description>&#60;img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/1103/ipad2-unboxing.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' /><![CDATA[Analysts have provided somewhat conflicting cost breakdowns for the iPad 2 that nonetheless both put the Motorola Xoom in a poor light.  iSuppli said Apple's tablet should cost $323.35 in raw parts for a 32GB, Verizon (EVDO) version or $326.60 for its AT&amp;T (HSPA) equivalent.  The HSPA version needs chipsets with Bluetooth, GPS and Wi-Fi separate from the Intel/Infineon cellular chip where the EVDO...]]></description>

<description>&#60;img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/1103/motoxoom-unboxing.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' /><![CDATA[iSuppli in a full version of its cost teardown for the Motorola Xoom claimed it was even more expensive than thought.  It put the pure cost of the Android 3.0 tablet at $359.92, or nearly $40 more than the $320 estimated for a 3G iPad with the same 32GB of memory.  The actual gap was likely to be wider still as the iPad cost came from April 2010 and would have decreased for Apple over the past yea...]]></description>

UBM TechInsights estimated on Monday that the Android 3.0 leader costs $278 in raw parts versus $235 for a similarly equipped 3G, 32GB iPad.  The difference came even as Verizon charged $800 for the Xoom off-contract where its Apple counterpart cost just $730....]]></description>

While superficially similar, the CDMA version costs just $171.35 to build, or just $16.16 less than the AT&amp;T model's $187.51.  Many of the savings come from the new Qualcomm MDM6600, which includes its own GPS receiver and has saved Apple the cost of the separate Broadcom chip...]]></description>

The two smartphones were in a dead heat as the N8's parts and assembly were put at $187.47, or just four cents lower than Apple's phone.  It came even as Nokia used a more advanced 12-megapixel camera, an AMOLED screen and HDMI output....]]></description>

<description>&#60;img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/1008/ipad-coffee.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' /><![CDATA[The iPad should keep a majority hold on the tablet market for at least the next two years, iSuppli said in a new estimate today.  Apple's slate should get 74.1 percent of the market in 2010 and is still predicted to hold on to a dominating 61.7 percent of the market by 2012.
