None of the links you list have prices available. Let's go with Amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/Transformer-TF300-T-B1-BL-10-1-Inch-Ta...

Price point: $384. With an LCD. This isn't even close to comparable to the product they're trying to make. So to close the gap, you say:

> Drop the camera, the touch screen, the battery and the enclosure, I bet you I could get a deal for these boards well under $50 for 10,000+ lots.

Engineering tightly integrated consumer electronics products like these isn't a menu. You can't just "unplug" the monitor "remove" the battery and then repackage it. Redesign of a processor board of this complexity isn't a picnic; it takes significant EE expertise.

And with an initial price point almost 4x that Ouya promises? Please. This isn't "comparable" at all. You want a comparable piece of hardware? See http://trimslice.com/web/order-direct. Twice the price point with significantly less horsepower. That's what people are probably going to get in the end with this project.
