lol sid that's ub3r lazy.
how can you beat the buying power of the three of us negotiating with some jb hifi dude :p
..
AJ - not sure bout HK, but in Singapore it's no cheaper than buying it here. Actually, I found a 40 GB ipod cheaper in sydney airport on my way over. I thought it'd be cheaper in Singapore but i was wrong so i ended up not buying it. gheyed.
if matt.h is lurking he'll be able to comment on HK electronics. |

I wouldnt recommend this player, alot of problems because you can only control it with the remote and if your remote stuffs up which has happend to alot of ppl then your pretty much screwed.
You are only able to look at a 1 small screen than a iriver which has 2
and you can control it with both the remote or the unit itself.
For the price and features the Iriver hp-140 or hp-340 kills over that
not being biased but I have really researched mp3 players before I spent 500+ on it. |

The transmitter accessories for ipod mini etc are typically just connecting to a 3.5mm headphone jack, so yes they will work with most mp3 units.
Erratik i can guarantee you that three of you buying or one of you buying makes no difference. The market is so cut throat and runs on such small margins ( ipod sells at cost!) that the stores make very litle on these anyway and will only have so much room to move.
Avoid ipod if you can. They have the highest return rate in the industry and are not designed to be an audio unit, but rather a standard data hard drive hence lesser audio performance then iriver, creative etc.
Buying from hong kong will be alot cheaper but you will have no warranty in australia and yuor buying a product with a history of problems.
I paid nothing for my iriver ( which arrives today ) but i got a favour from a certain friend! :D :D :D |

| Thanks for all your help guys! just managed to grab a brand new Iriver H320 for a bargain AUD $350 from ebay (including shipping and warranty). Ebay is definitely the place to grab most players. Refine your search to places that ship to AUS and you will find that they are considerably cheaper than minidisc.com.au and mp3direct.com.au |

Despite being an ipod owner and fan... gotta say i agree, buy the other jigga. (although battery probs are intermittent, and primarily with older gen units) |
