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.

Technically it's 30 bucks more
Although, heck, yeah on the $179 price - that's exactly the price point I posted on another thread that I hoped Pocket Pro would end up with - before final pricing was announced. I would have bought it for that, even though the design wasn't to my personal taste. (The Sony 300 isn't exactly mine either, although it's slightly closer than the Pro - the Opus or the Pocket 360 are the ones I think are absolutely beautiful, just also absolutely out of my 5" price range)
