The iSuppli press release is titled 'Google Nexus One Carries $174.15 Materials Cost.'

The third sentence reads "This total comprises only hardware and component costs for the Nexus One itself and does not take into consideration other expenses such as manufacturing, software, box contents, accessories and royalties."

Your accusation seems spurious at best. Some might call it dishonest.

I'm talking about the daringfireball article. Not the posted one. on second look perhaps it's just the secondary articles that are misquoting. If you don't like the word dishonest replace it with exaggerated.

You said iSuppli was being dishonest. They weren't. They're not exaggerating either.

iSuppli isn't responsible if daringfireball (or anybody else) mangles their actual statements.

I'll stand my statement that you are dishonest, and at your suggestion I'll add an addendum that you're exaggerating the scope of iSuppli's responsibility.
