Aye, and I fully agree that $199 is the magic price point that the public is waiting for, and has been waiting for for quite some time.
It's just unfortunate that many purchasers of the $199 Pocket Edition will be disappointed if they ever learn that for only 20 bucks more, they could have gotten a much more enhanced device that actually comes with a cover, instead of having to fork out an extra 40 bucks for one.
And Sony would have been better off reducing the price even more, to 159 or 179, in order to pick up those others who comparison shop.
