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

JC - Thanks to Aus I've got an E-105. I had great difficulty getting it from PC World in Houston because they walk out of the door as soon as they get any stock. Yuo have to be there on the day to get one!! A friend of mine has a color Palm. No comparison and I like Palm. PS I can take my 105 away with me for ten days or more on the same charge. The brilliance is fantastic and the contrast helps me now that i'm over 50. There will be a wireless one sometime later this year I'm convinced and it will have a QCOM chip in it and that wil give it internet capabiltiy Best regards, L
