I'd be interested in one depending on the price, although I'm kinda worried that $199 will translate to £199.
I wonder if it's worth mentioning to some of the big online suppliers (eBuyer.com, Aria, Scan etc) who have the buying power to buy these in the thousands, maybe that might bring the prices down a little.
