I suspect vanity plays a large part of it. No shame in that though. My dad is getting one, I’m waiting. Not because of price, but worries about the touch screen. Combining my cell phone and nano will be nice, not to mention double the space for songs.
I got a $30 1 GB player for songs. Can you see driving down the road and touching the screen? My V3C phone has voice commands and a bluetooth headset. And it was free.
Value, what value ... has the world lost their minds? Or do people just have too much money.
