300 sounds about right to me...i still don't get why everyone thinks the NGP is going to be soo much more expensive than the 3DS.  the 3DS has two screens -- the NGP has one screen and more raw power.  it's a bit of a tit-for-tat.

The NGP's screen is pretty expensive itself along with the 3G, CPU/GPU, trackpad and memory it's not going to be cheap. The iPod Touch sells for $299.99 at 32GB and $399.99 at 64GB right now for a comparison. I think $349.99 will probably be the price if they want to go as cheap as they can, but I don't think a $399.99 pricetag is out of the question.

Good points. The iPod touch has a much weaker cpu/gpu, no physical buttons, no 3G, no back trackpad, etc... NGP is going to be expensive or sold for quite a loss, imo.

The iPhone 4 costs about $180 for Apple to make, probably a bit less now.
Their rip-off margins are humoungous.

If you want a source, it's easy to google how much the iphone 4 costs to manufacture.
