Price analysis has been done before for liquidmetal high volume products and it comes out very favorable for liquidmetal products compared to aluminum products when milling etc are taken as factors.
In addition, the new bmg from EONTEC will provide even more favorable outcome for liquidmetal!
I'm not sure I would agree with that connection between liquidmetal and batteries, I get that it could be in the same sense of contracts but we at Lqmt don't have any contracts to talk about so we don't know what percent we would have...the other part where you mentioned about Apple and the iPhone....well I highly doubt Apple would hire you as their marketing leader because I would not be buying any iPhone weather it be liquid metal plastic aluminum or gold! And it was for free;)
