Hi Erik - why are the SIPs ~ $30-40 in quantity on DigiKey while the PocketBeagle is only $25?

We're currently using Olimex's Am3352-SOM module in a product, and the Octavo SIP makes it simple enough to do a board down instead of a module... if only the SIPs were cheaper.

The pricing shown on Digikey and Mouser is only up to 100 units, i.e. small volumes. If you would like to discuss pricing for larger quantities, please contact [e-mail]

One other thing that I will mention is that the 21mm x 21mm form factor of the OSD335x-SM enables designs that would not be possible with other SOMs or discrete components since is 60% smaller than a discrete implementation.

Well, it's $43.73 for one SIP on DigiKey, yet I can buy the PocketBeagle for $25? For comparison the CHIP-Pro embeddable module is $16 (and does lots more).
