Assuming they do actually fulfill their rewards, you will wind up with 6 or 7 $9 computers (unclear if the second alpha was just an extra, or if that counts towards one of your 5), plus a $40 screen/keyboard/battery (based on the Kickstarter pricing of the C.H.I.P. plus PocketC.H.I.P.).

So, using a $9 price for C.H.I.P. and $40 for PocketC.H.I.P., that should cost $103. You spent $150 on it plus the shipping. Now, sure, that gets you pre-release models and "earliest shipments of release models", but it's not a very good demonstration that they can actually sell these for $9 at scale.

I dunno. They seem to have every intention of selling these for $9 at scale, but unless their BOM has changed substantially in the production version, it doesn't seem like that would be possible. Since the production version is not actually available yet, and no specs have been posted, it remains to be seen how closely it resembles the alpha version. So, that's why I say it's vaporware. Yes, the alpha models have shipped, but if those aren't the same as the production models, then the production models still are vaporware. It seems that at scale, they're either going to have to increase the price, ship something with a different BOM, Allwinner is going to have to drop their component costs substantially, or for some reason Allwinner is quoting substantially different prices to Olimex as they are to the C.H.I.P. guys.

But anyhow, the proof of the pudding is in the eating. They say they will launch their $8 sale tomorrow, and if they do that and actually ship more than a few at that price without exorbitant shipping, then we can say that it's not vaporware. But until those actually ship (and remember, tomorrow's sale is still a pre-order, and are supposed to ship after all of the Kickstarter rewards ship), the $5 RPi actually exists today, while the only people who have a C.H.I.P. today spent a lot more than $9 on it.
