Yeah. What's the exchange rate like atm: ~80c to a US$? The SONY T1 is listed for pre-order @ AU$179 delievered so NZ$279 definately seems steep. Even the Kindle 3 (now Kindle Keyboard) is selling for AU$159 (wifi) in store at Disk Smiths 'n Co. I just can't see how the Kobo Touch will sell at that price point? Even more so when the SONY is on the market and the new Kindles go international.
