  •  Integrated X- and Y-axis gyro on a single chip

InvenSense's product page (and the original article) state the IDG 600 is a dual-axis gyro which would indicate each chip is approx $2.  This leaves out the 3rd axis which would mean the WM+ would need 2 of these chips raising the cost to $4 in InvenSense's chips.  So it may be possible to have a MSRP of $15 although I'm still leaning towards $20.

 

 

I think I remember reading somewhere that WMP was going to have three of these gyros. Wish I could remember where I saw that. They may have opted for 3 to achieve better accuracy or redundancy in case of failure.
