What are the relative costs of development for a consumer electronics device?

What does it cost to bring a consumer electronics device to market? Development costs include:
The exterior design of the device and the development of its user interface.
The software the device runs on.
The hardware
Assembly, Packaging and Transportation

Other costs such as marketing and support are factors as well.

Very, very expensive. The cost I believe would be the highest, you dont even mention, which is the Research and Development of all the electronics that would be needed. Plus licensing costs of parts you get from other companies, costs to buy all the required parts, costs to manufacture, costs of factories to produce, etc. Very expensive.
