The prices will drop, but it will take a while for that to happen (as in many months).
There are enough other models still around, if they drop the price to much,you have to drop the prices of the other models to.
The Aura now sells for about 119 euro's, The H2O for 179,- and they dropped the Glo now for 90.. and the touch is below the 79 now.
If they bring out the Glo-HD for 129 that price is already dangerous near the Aura,if they start to stunt,they will sell the Aura hardly, a refurbished touch is 45 now, so there are almost no gaps in between to stunt a bit more..

Isn't "UK sunlight" a contradiction of terms?

It's the middle of April (half-way through our autumn) here and the forecast is 26C and the skies are very blue.
True, my first Aura HD has spots in the background where the light comes trough,very annoying,the returned one has them to, so they send 2 at the same time,send back the one with no spots.. but in the H2O I didn't hear so much so I think they will be very carefull,introduce a new model with problems can be the difference between a good-seller or a no-go.
