After lots of work and $160,000 in development costs, only 10 orders were made for the first production run of the device. At least 200 orders were required to do the first run.

How many orders would they have to have to get the price down to say the
~$350 range? I could offord than, but not ~$750 at the moment. I too
are a studunt... Is there any possibility that we find out a breakdown
for larger orders and do a little advertising (slashdot,...)?
