Yes, prices in Europe are generally much higher, even when we consider the difference in taxes. Europe is also a somewhat smaller market, and a 2-year unconditional warranty is mandatory in most countries. Add the fact that you're an early adopter and you know that something has to give....
If you don't like the price level of a Touch, you can always look at the competition (depending on your requirements). The Sagem My Web 500 comes to mind (82 euro), or the similar priced Muvid IR 615. They don't offer the level of customisation that Logitech offers, but they do what they're supposed to do, and offer native NAS and USB support without the need to install server software. No Facebook nor Pandora support however. You get what you pay for. -- Hans_NL Squeezebox Radio x2 (black & red) MUVID IR 615 (poor man's Transporter) Currently running Fedora 10 on all systems ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hans_NL's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37393 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77371 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
