Hi all,
My first post, so be gentle LOL. I'm surprised the prices are rumored to be so high. I know that productions costs are still high at present because this is a new piece of technology and a new product etc. hopefully the price should drop once the unit starts to sell and other similar type of products emerge. The question is DO you wait for the price to drop or buy now and upgrade later ?

Its like the laptop scenario i had a few years ago should i buy the best i can get for my money now or wait for the price to drop... I chose to wait and guess what. When the time came to buy it, a newer model came out and gave me more options so i had the same problem all over again.

350 Euro's is a little high in my opinion if this is to be aimed at the mass market and i will be surprised if its not.

The prices need to nose dive to around 250 or even round 150 ( the same as a iPod's... i know they are different technology), not only for the Gen 3 but for all units regardless of manufacturer.

My thoughts are how quick everyone jumped t the iPod it was because it was affordable. Time will tell....only a few more days until September
