True, and fair point. I should have just said the Nano is too much for what I need.
But it holds for other devices, like the iPod video a few years ago that was $300 and did less than my Creative Vision M which was $150. That's over priced as it was twice the price for the same memory, a lower quality screen, no FM tuner (and of course no FM recording ability etc.).
Speaking of SMARTs, those I do find overpriced. I'd be interested in one if they were like $5,000. But here in the US, looking at the website, they range from $11,000 to just under $21,000. Which is absurd IMO for a tiny car that can't be very safe and is only meant to be driven up to 40MPH or so when I can buy a real car with those price ranges--I paid $17,000 for my 2008 Mazda 3 new, companies like Kia have new cars close to the $11,00 for the cheapest smart.
I live in a city and drive 4 miles each way to work with speed limits ranging 25-40MPH on local roads. So I could use a smart, but it would have to be very cheap and be my second car as I also drive on the interstate where traffic is flowing 75-85 MPH so I need a full sized/powered car as well.
Anyway, that's off topic, but had to comment as I think the smart is a great idea, but terrible overpriced to be practical for most people, even city dwellers like myself.
