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.
Thanks for the nice information. Interested in getting from Cranes, I'm sure few others in the group is interested as well. Can you provide the contact details of person in Cranes Software for ordering.
