This cost analysis was requested by my friend, so that he can decide
to buy this board either from digi-key or cranes software.
Directly buying from digi-key online:
1. Board Cost - 149$
2. Shipping cost to India - UPSW - 81$
3. Import Duty - 1275 INR - 30$ (@ 42INR per $)
So, beagle board will cost you approx 260$ if you are going to order
it directly from digi-key.
On the other side, Cranes software is quoting this board at 9999 INR
(Approx 238$), including serial cable and power adapter. Please note
that it is not so easy to get flat ribbon cable and HDMI-DVI connector
here in India until you go hunting in special (often very crowded and
located very far from main City) area. I hope this helps.
