The discount isn't much, you end up paying about the same as retail after
adding tax and shipping.
Plus new models don't show up on the list until some time after they begin
shipping through retail channels.
Also, you are limited to only one of each model. Most of the time we can
find better prices on the web, or from a Palm distributor. IMHO its not
worth worrying about unless its a model you just can't find locally or on
the web.
