I saw that thing on sale for $99 at Best Buy in Holyoke Mall, MA. Looks
neat. Somewhat reminds me of MZ-e33. The one they had was blue and
there were only 2 of them left. They were only in glass case.

They also had SHARP MD-MT15(S), that looked like MD-MT821
without 40 second buffer. I only saw the box. There were only 3 left.
If it looks the same as 821, I don't know how it can take AA batteries.

They also had MZ-R37 on display with description saying that it had 10
second memory, but the box in the glass case had 40 second sticker on
it. So how much memory does that thing actually have (not that it
matters)?
Another thing they had is a Recoton TOSlink optical cable with adaptors
for use with portables. Pretty neat. Instead of buying 3 cables you can
just buy that one. $19.99
It is pretty unfortunate that the nearest Best Buy to Southern
Connecticut is either in Princeton, NJ or in Holyoke, MA...
