350Euro/$ is the price exclusive VAT, no doubt.
Not sure how that will reflect to the full price in all the different countries around the world so I hope someone has a better understanding of all these things, Im very interested in any views on the possible nonsense that follows :-)
From my little experience in this area I think that :
1) People in France will have to add VAT to that price but they will pay little for shipping and no importing rights.
2) People elsewhere will pay extra for shipping and importing rights
3) people living in the EC will benefit from the Schengen deal, those outside will not.
Ironically I think those that will be worst off will be those outside EC and outside the VS, they might not even get access to the device because it's really not all that high-tech a device and therefor pricepoint is definately important.
