I think this hits the nail on the head, especially longer term. It's hard to compete with this level of low-cost production with steadily improving specs. Raspberry Pi seems caught in the middle with getting more powerful and expensive in a market that wants either very powerful/expensive or good enough/supercheap. Even a pretty full "desktop" mini computer R7/32MB etc is down to $300 and change. If RAPI files for an IPO I'll be keen to see what kind of margins they are generating.
