These are my estimates from what I'm seeing so far, so don't take them to heart:

Assuming we're building the Professional Edition,

Building them individually:~$500 to build each unit
Quantities from 5-10: ~$350-400 per unit
10-50: ~$300
50-100: ~$225
>100: ~$200
>200: ~$150

From this point on, it's probably impossible to get a batch of preorders this large, but if you were curious:
>500: ~$125
>1000: ~$110
>5000: ~$105
>10000: ~$95
>50000: ~$90

Just to reiterate what I wrote on the blog, there's a somewhat flat fee that's associated with the human labor put into programming the robotic machinery and setting up the tools that will manufacture the boards. That's why building one at a time costs a lot, but having a ton built in a batch splits that costs onto each unit. Same thing with the parts. There's a cost for the human labor put into programming the machinery to package up the parts, so buying them in bulk quantity saves money.

As for pre-released prototypes, I wouldn,t mind getting one, providing that it's compatible with the official version and isn't ultra expensive like an iPad or something.

They should be completely compatible, I don't plan on changing the hardware. These pre-production models are the check functionality, power consumption and to do certification. They should just be exactly the same as the one meant for consumers, they just lack the proper certification.

Wow this can replace a computer! It can even go online and it runs Linux!!!! 

I don't think this can replace a computer, but it can definitely replace every calculator available so far!

It could definably replace a computer, it basically is a computer on it's own. It can't replace the speed an hardware of some of the better computers out there, but it could do the job for the main tasks people do on it everyday

So I remember filling out a survey, but will you have a page where we say "yes, we want one", and be able to list things like "not just yet, but I do want one" or whatever?  You can see how many pre-orders you'll have then.

Yeah, but I want to take note of the people who may have not taken the survey. I got about a little over 30 response, with about 16 of them saying they would preorder.

It depends on what you define is a computer. The UberGraphX is comparable to netbooks (which are computers). You can do more computer like tasks on the UberGraphX such as run browse the web, instant messaging, write documents, create power points, watch movies and edit spreadsheets. For some people, this is all they use the computer for and thus an UberGraphX could replace a computer. An UberGraphX won't be a replacement for a today's desktop computer. The UberGraphX 2 (if the UberGraphX ever gets on market) would do that.

Yep, technically the TI-83 Plus is a computer of a sort

All calculators are actually.

Also, shouldn't this have its own subforum? Just my opinion though.

It's got it's own site+forum, I don't think it really needs a subforum here

EDIT: Just showed my older sister this, and even she is interested in it (and that's an understatement.)

Yeah, I really think we should advertise to more people.  Unfortunately, I only know of one guy that might buy it.  I'll talk to him.

Hey everyone, sorry, I haven't been posting much lately. Development is still continuing on the UGX.

First of all, thanks for the sub-forum. I guess we don't have to keep all the discussion in one thread now and everyone can now ask their questions by starting a new thread.

Second, you know the innovations contest I've been telling you guys, I didn't win. I'm kind of disappointed, but then again, I'm not really surprised. I didn't really expect the judges to understand the importance of a high end graphing calculator. This has, however, caused me to worry whether the UberGraphX could do well in the market. Therefore, some big changes are coming to the UberGraphX. You can pretty much forget everything I mentioned about the UberGraphX; they don't apply anymore. New strategy, new plan, complete redesign. I still plan to stay on track with getting something released by this summer. Within two weeks I plan to you show you what I've been working on (which is why I haven't been able to post much lately). I'm certain, you'll be very (hopefully pleasantly) surprised at the new UberGraphX.

For the record, I would rather this be like a mini computer than a calc, but that's just my opinion.  I mean it runs linux....
