Google is all set to loose money on its much hyped tablet, if they sell it for more than $199, According to research byIHSiSuppli component teardown shows If the tablets manufacturing costs go beyond this price,Google will loose money.  Many analysts say Google might be willing to take a loss to gain market share against other low-cost tablets such as the 7-in. Kindle Fire, which sells for $199. In general, a tablet's three biggest costs are the screen, the memory and the processor. Together, those three component might make up 60% to 70% of a tablet's cost |
Google desperation to compete against iPad and Microsoft Tablets, not to mention Kindle has touched new heights. A Research report from IHS suppli on the " Components" for making the Google Nexus Tablet shows that Google will be selling their Tablets at a loss.
So if the starting price of the expected Google Nexus 7 is $199, Google could be spending $130 to $210 for materials and manufacturing costs for each device, according to a preliminary estimate from IHS iSuppli.
Anything above the $199 price for materials and manufacturing costs would result in a loss for Google.
According to AllThingsD, the low-end eight gigabyte model of the Nexus 7, which sells for $199, costs $151.75 to build.While The higher-end 16GB model, which sells for $249, costs $159.25, the difference being the cost of the memory chips inside.
Andrew Rassweiler, who leads the teardown team at IHS iSuppli, reckons
that Google will break even on the 8GB model, and will turn a tidy
profit on the 16GB model. “Like Apple, Google realizes it can boost its
profit margin by offering more memory at a stair-step price point. It’s
getting $50 more at retail for only $7.50 more in hardware cost, which
sends $42.50 per unit straight to the bottom line.”

Combined spending on 3D Blu-ray Disc will reach nearly $214 million worldwide this year, a rise of more than 530% over 2010, according to a forecast from IHS Screen Digest.
The research firm estimates 7.5 million 3D Blu-rays will be sold this year combined in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany and France, compared with 1.1 million sold in 2010. By 2014 3D Blu-ray spending could hit $909 million, with 41 million 3D Blu-rays sold.
“Consumers are snapping up Blu-ray 3D titles because of a number of positive occurrences in the home 3D segment,” said Richard Baxter, video research analyst at IHS. “These developments include increasing consumer awareness of 3D technology, rising 3D hardware sales and an expanding catalog of 3D films for the home environment.
“Meanwhile, the arrival of more Blu-ray 3D titles in retail stores will enhance the technology’s profile among consumers and encourage 3D hardware adoption,” he added. “BD3D-enabled households are also likely to buy more Blu-ray 3D titles if they have a larger slate to choose from.”
IHS expects a total of 65 new 3D Blu-ray titles to be released this year, with 15 from Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment alone, including Tron: Legacy, Tangled, Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King.
The U.S. market is the largest for 3D Blu-ray, accounting for 75.2% of all spending, or 5.7 million 3D Blu-rays.
