What's the yard stick for measuring against here? I.e. are we talking about one-off from digikey/farnell, samples direct from the manufacturer, or limited-run (couple of hundreds) quantities? > - what are the integration costs ? is this things like placement of awkward (small pitch etc.) parts, FPC's etc., or ancillary parts such as partner chips? > - do they work as intended ? > Hehehe. :-) Is the normal route of sourcing via a factory (even for prototypes etc.)? From a few searches it seems that getting hold of some parts (i.e. screens / touch layers) is incredibly difficult for one-offs.
