According to iSuppli[1], Apple pays $229.35 in parts and labor to make the low-end iPad. They develop their own operating system, buy incredible amounts of ads, and yet they still have massive profit margins selling iPads for $500. Meanwhile, Motorola and Samsung and other manufacturers get a free operating system and get cellphone carriers to give them a bunch of money to sell the device with a data plan. Yet their devices are $600-$1000, they often have smaller screens, and are (probably) loaded up with crapware. I fail to see why anyone would ever buy something like this, and I fail to see why anyone thinks someone will buy one.&quot;<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ca.com\/us\/news\/Press-Releases\/na\/2011\/Nimsoft-Sees-Expanding-Market-Adoption-for-Cloud-Based-IT-Monitoring.aspx\">Nimsoft Sees Expanding Market Adoption for Cloud Based IT Monitoring<\/a><br \/>&quot;Nimsoft gained more than 125 new customers in 2010 with over 3 dozen during the most recent quarter.
