"We're preparing to launch two versions of Palm," Hawkins said as he handed the product comparison chart to Dean.
"One is the Palm 1000 with 128kb memory, priced at 299 US Dollars.
Another is the Palm 5000 with 512kb memory, priced at 369 US Dollars.
As for the cost, the 128kb version is about 200 US Dollars, while the 512kb version is 215 US Dollars."
After laying out the data, Hawkins looked at Dean with a somewhat uneasy expression.
Sure enough, the latter's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "Do these manufacturing costs include the stylus and the charging cradle?"
"Correct, all hardware costs are included, even packaging is part of our budgeted considerations."
"The gross profit margin for the 128kb version is around 33%, which is a pretty dangerous figure."
Dean glanced at the spec sheet in his hand, and his furrowed brows still did not relax.
