As if the bill of materials for a device such a cell phone accurately reflected the total cost to the manufacturer. There is the matter of designing how all the components fit together, how to manufacture it, and other hardware design issues. And there is the small matter of the software. Software development is not cheap.

I think you are referring to the storm only being able to play one sound at a time. Hence why music pauses if you get an email. My understanding is that is probably more of a software limitation and not hardware related.
