The HTC-made Google Nexus One may not cost any more than an iPhone 3GS to make, iSuppli has revealed in a preliminary cost teardown. Based on the components either known or believed to be part of the design, the researchers estimate the phone's raw parts cost $174, or $5 less than the $179 16GB iPhone 3GS did when new. The lower cost comes despite a potentially faster processor, a larger and AMOLED-based touchscreen as well as more RAM.
