Finally, the $99/£51 is to get them to US soil. There are probably additional costs of getting them to the UK.
So £80 sounds about right.

Assuming it's 512mb that's undercutting all of the cheap japanese mp3 players in that market range, pie in the sky ..... and if it's 256mb it's not going to be worth buying as there are hundreds of different mp3 players WITH displays that you could buy cheaper.
The addition of firewire to it to me seems a bit pointless, surely transfers will be only as fast as the flash memory it uses?
