From where i am, it seems exorbitant. Granted here in Africa, $1m is quite a big investment, we have been running on <$10,000 for over 9 months now. Capital is very difficult to get access to. Forces you to be super-lean(and practically starve)

For e.g For our startup we do not have capital for tablets.. so the question becomes how can we get things done without purchasing the tablets. Repurpose the existing devices used by customers or some other way to do things? We came up with hacks that use cloudprint and existing printers, and SMS to cheap handsets (< $10)
