$180 ?? Given that the current wifi model is nearly 50% more expensive (US $99, Aus $179), I am anticipating that the Touch model will be $200 plus when it eventually ships to Australia.

How do you spell Rip-off ??

P.S. I would love a touch model, but since I have passed my Original down to my wife so I could get a wifi recently, I dont think I will be allowed
