Why is it so expensive?!?!?
That is so freaking neat.
wasnt there a similar thing that came out a few years ago? I\'m pretty sure there was...anyway these things would be fun as heck to carry around and use. especially if they could put a little lcd screen on it. Carry about a 2 gb flash memory card with it for all ur music and whatever. If this thing was just, well, a bunch cheaper, (like only one or two hundred bucks)that people could have ALOT of fun with something like this
Rocketbilly Wang: It\'s hyper-minaturized technology that\'s probably produced in small production runs. Both factors likely conspire to make it as expensive as it is.
