I'm thinking manufacturing. It's easier to manufacture a MP3 player. It's cheaper to ship MP3 players. And it's cheaper to package them.

If I were going to do a business model for the Chicoms, I'd ship them with basic software and let the kids load whatever they want on it.

You also need to think of the cost of materials. A 512MB flash chip runs around $30-35 in bulk.
