"In London only merchants who love to rip-off people down in Tottenham Court Road charges 'restocking fees'. No other reputable companies would do that, not even Harrods or crappy stores like Dixons/Currys."

What planet are you living on? It has been opened and now must be sold as refurbished at a lower cost. Of course there's going to be a restocking fee! Give me a break. Tell me of a store that does not charge a restocking fee for opened items. What do they do, try to pass off used merchandise as new? All this whining from the anti-Apple crowd is tiring.

I'm so sick of telemarketers calling several times a day at all times of the day or night with unavailable, out of area or toll free call showing up with no number. Half the time you answer there is no one even there. Just a computer dialer.

I see the same people who complained that Chinese workers making the real iPods were not paid enough and had poor living conditions now want them to cut the price over 70 percent. Ummmm.... okay. If you thought conditions at the factory making the real iPods was bad wait until you see the conditions at the factory making these knock-offs. Can you say slave labor? Can you say hypocrite?

I wouldn't want this stock in my portFOLIO that's for sure.

It's Gaius Balter!

Why did the words iPod/iPods get cut from my post? Weird.

There is no such thing as a "No left behind" initiative. It's simply about what technology to spend their $38 million on. The idea of using came up but was quickly shot down. End of story.

They could of course spend the money on books and hire more teachers. Aside from learning how to use a computer and using them for research in the library this idea that interactive technology must be used in place of books is idiotic. Just give them books and teach them how to read. As a bonus they won't grow up illiterate. Just a thought.

How about actually teaching kids instead of looking for some electronic device to do the job for you?

The more pixels you squeeze into a sensor the smaller they have to be and the less light they can capture. The camera must then amplify the light captured and this causes noise in the image. This is why a large 6mp sensor typically used in an SLR camera is so much better than a tiny 6mp, 8mp or even 10mp sensor used in a typical consumer camera like this one. There are benefits to each though.

There are some errors in the pictures. It says 3.5" LCD in the text but 3.0" LCD on the features icon above the image of the camera. It also says it has a 6mp CCD sensor but Sony just announced a 6mp CMOS sensor with impressive video capabilities. Could this too be a misprint? Perhaps it really uses the CMOS (not CCD) sensor and the 2gb storage would make sense for video.

"Because last time I checked, analog only TV's can not be sold in the US past March 2007."

I believe that's MANUFACTURED past March 2007. They can still sell what they've already made well past that date.
