I'm not "thoroughly" excited - but as somebody that's been looking for a
good, easy-to understand MP3 player for his mom it does look very
interesting (if only it would play WMA).

That's kind of my thinking... it seems like $499 (minimum) is still pretty
damn high.  And the upgrades are unbelievable - doing the Gig of RAM adds
$425 to the price!

You can get a new Dell 4700 and a 15" LCD (and a keyboard and mouse) for
$650. 

I was really hoping for a cheap Mac - not just a "cheaper" Mac.  ;^)
