Not all that long ago the Mini was $99.95AUD, the upped to $109.95AUD with a free pouch (ok I can live with that), and now it is $189.95. For a product with no updates for a LOOOONG time doubling the price is a bit rich. The Lite and normanl JB sat above $200 while the US was enjoying sub-$100 prices from newegg etc ($40 shipping through a forwarder didn't make it viable).

I wonder if they will release a new product soon? The K-12 is expensive and I havent read anywhere from anyone who has one (other than reviewers).
