Correct. We evaluated all options to produce our own Android-powered tablet for a DISPLAY. Financially it never made sense for us to produce or for our customers to purchase when compared to the plethora of low-cost tablets available.
As example, one can purchase an Amazon table for ~US$50 or a low-price Android tablet for under $60. If we were to source a cheap Chinese Android tablet, design and manufacture a WeatherFlow case, modify the software to run just our Android app…it would cost more than US$70 to manufacture with huge minimums like 10,000. At that cost to manufacture, we would then need to retail for at least ~US$150+ just to break even. That’s bad business.
If you’re curious, below are concept images when we were thinking of building a WeatherFlow DISPLAY (we will not be producing).
