Joe, You can't expect price points to be ideal with the first release. "...my feeling is that at $500 plus it doesnt really matter what else they do, since it is a much harder purchase to justify (to yourself/spouse/boss, delete as applicable). So, yes they can do more, yes maybe they are worth it, but I suspect if you look at the graph of purchasers vs price, volume rapidly drops once you cross the $250-$300 mark." I agree that the tail of the mass market for these devices likely begins under $300.00 a piece. The upswing in demand likely resides at $250.00 or perhaps $200.00. Prices will come down. Case in point... I-JAM is selling today for $99.99 a piece after rebate to AOL members and is listed on the sign-on page for AOL. This player comes with two SanDisk 16MB MMC cards. Ausdauer
