Last week we presented you the same survey conducted by the people of IHS iSuppli with Motorola Xoom, one of the main competitors of iPad 2, cost component was close to $360. Today we share with you the estimate on Apple's new product: $ 325.

The estimated price that give us is for the 32 GB with connectivity model 3 G, United States out of 729 dollars, more than double the cost estimated by components. Again I would like to comment that it is a study more interesting than real, that helps us compare with other teams. In it are they left out lots of expenses: advertising, labor, design, development, distribution, etc.

Specified us a couple of different values in the source, depends on whether the team is the operator Verizon, $323.35, or good of AT & T, $326.60 (uses more expensive connectivity hardware). For this reason we have decided to round off with the figure.

Values that give us that think that Apple has much room for manoeuvre in the benefits, although the above-mentioned expenses are not included. But it is not very different from what we see in the competition, in one quick comparison have the equivalent Motorola Xoom which sells for about $800.

There are very different forms of distribution, between the two gadgets that Apple runs with the cost and infrastructure of their own shops, and that also influences the final price, for their benefit is that you have to pay less middlemen.

Entering components, says that the cost of the new A5 is 75% higher than the Apple A4, according IHS iSuppli has a cost of $ 14. This morning we presented you the higher price in which moves Nvidia Tegra 2 and the new Intel Atom.

There is no mention to other elements of the SoC as the new graphics processor from PowerVR, that you have more information and an interesting comparison in Applesfera. Always bearing in mind that (top in Xoom) screen resolutions quite influence the final results of the benchmarks.

Logically the most expensive component remains the touchscreen, the IPS panel developed by lg Display has a cost of $127. Despite being almost the same as the first iPad, in that it was a cost of $95 (April 2010), what other aspects (refinement, improvements in design, materials...) have raised the price of the same.

Camera modules, discussed by his photographic work, quality, since they are clearly focused on the use of Facetime leaving $ 4.80. The memory of the iPad 2 also comes from Samsung, with NAND (DRAM…) total cost of 65.70 dollars. I leave you with a table in which are collected all these components and which are missing:

Finally I leave links to other gadgets that have passed through the hands of iSuppli, as the tablet samsung galaxy tab, with 205 dollars of cost, a nokia n8, 188 dollars, the same as that estimated for an iPhone 4.

Such analysis must take it with tweezers, I like to clarify from the outset that what does iSuppli is to establish a cost component to get an idea, and to compare in conditions similar to the competition. Naturally the price of each item will depend on quite the quantities purchased by Motorola.

All the important gadgets in the market have passed through his hands, and the truth is that we wanted to a device as Motorola Xoom, as questioned by its high course price. The price component of the Honeycomb tablet is of $359.92.

Outside are a good lot of concepts such as distribution, advertising, manufacturing, design, etc, etc. But it's funny to see as a first generation iPad (32 GB / 3 G) is slightly less expensive, $ 320. The new iPad will have to be in a similar to the Motorola tablet numbers.

Let's review the most important components:

As usual, the screen tends to be the element more costs, specifically $140 by the 10.1-inch capacitive, representing 39% of the total.It memory is the second most expensive thing, the 32 GB out for something more than 80 $, 22% of the total.3250 MAh battery leaves by 23 dollars.Nvidia Tegra 2 processor thought that it would be more expensive, but stays at 20.78 dollars, a 6% of the total. Twice as much as the cost of the processor of the first iPad.Terminamos with cameras, the 5 megapixel rear camera and the 2 megapixel front camera, go for $14, 4% of the total.

We remind you that the Motorola Xoom 3 G has exit to the North American market for 800 $ without any contract, the comparable model of iPad 2 is $ 729.

The own Motorola, at mouth of its CEO Sanjay Jha, reported that the WiFi version would be by 599.99 $, but the issue is that an American store, Sam's Club, advertises this by 539 dollars with 32 GB.

With this price would be 40 euros more expensive than a 2 16 GB iPad. It seems that to see actual prices in shops of the WiFi version we are doing to the idea that can be competitive.

If we fiamos the information provided by PC World, Motorola Xoom could reach Europe on 9 April, at least in United Kingdom, which also announces a price for the WiFi version of 499.99 pounds (around 599 euros).

Presented once bet iPad 2, with dates and clear prices for Europe, is time that the competition is putting the battery so that customers can plan the purchase of one or other option.
