Many have pointed this out, that P&S's often look nearly identical.
Since there is no profit on them, it makes sense they are generically
designed and churned out by the same sources, just with slightly

You mean... manufacturers might out source
manufacture, and might buy in sub-assemblies
from third parties?

*gasp*
