Sorry, but that seems dumb.

You'd rather pay $100 for a flash drive to the guy that only makes 10% on them because of his low volume or bad logistics, than pay $80 for the flash drive to the guy that makes 50% margin because he's the high volume buyer and has great logistics?

Me, I'd rather pay less for the best, and if that guy has better margins, so much the better.

What if the guy that makes 10% on them doesn't earn more because his drives are made to last longer and he provides better working condition in his factories? Not saying that Samsung is like that, but there are plenty of reason beyond volume and logistics to justify different margins.

That would be Apple ;) You can probably use the latest iOS longer (as discussed yesterday) and it also hold a much much better resell value.
