The Matrix One started at one point pricing it above $150... over time it has dramatically dropped. Yes, I believe so.

Whole ARM SoCs with RAM, etc, can go as low as $1. actually, how the heck is Matrix One selling theirs so cheap? They are old stock on clearance? I imagine the cost breakdown is like:
screen – $50
battery – $25
processor – $15 (Tegras are admittedly expensive, but this is Google, they are getting a bulk rate)
ram – $5
storage – $10
total assembly – $10

case, interconnects, bells and whistles – $25

the screen has the most room, old parts for screens they might get even $20 cheaper. Whole ARM SoCs with RAM, etc, can go as low as $1.

actually, how the heck is Matrix One selling theirs so cheap? They are old stock on clearance?

After format you're looking at maybe a bit less than 3GBs for apps, that's just not enough. I am excited to see what Google and Asus are doing with the new Nexus 7, if anything.
