We're doing everything we can to get the price down as low as possible, but please have reasonable expectations as we can't sell them for less than the chips cost, plus theres a bunch of other parts, board, heatsink, and NRE costs that we have to recover. These small units aren't going to have the world's best ROI, you can only get that promise when you buy $5k worth of vaporware. Real things in hand cost more than powerpoint slides and renderings.
Anyhow we are trying to keep a sub $100 price point to give entry level miners some meaningful hashrate.

Hmm, I don't like your comment very much. ASICMINER USB sticks, a real product from a real competitor, is existing competition to your vaporware. Furthermore, and I can't believe this is not obvious, your production costs do not matter to the buyer and should not factor into their expectations.
But ASICMINER USB sticks are 335MH/s which in today's environment is not a 'meaningful hashrate'. Sure, you can build a farm of them (and I have nothing against them - I have four of them mining myself) but it's not direct competition.
Are there any other USB sticks that offer multi-GH/s hashrates?
