I thought it was more due to changes in law about acceptable materials
in consumer electronics devices.  (I can't remember the law name, but
I'm not in the UK, so I don't have to worry about it.)  For a while
there was stock of the evil inedible squeezeboxes and a shortage of the
safe-to-eat ones.

There was a similar shortage last year at this time, though the
publicity from things like the NYTimes review and such that came out
around this time certainly fueled that too.  Maybe this year is all the
people who saw the reviews last year and finally broke down and bought a
Squeezebox or three.

(And I thought I was slow: I only sat on the fence for a couple
months.... a year is pushing it.)
