How come US resellers do not sell to Canada? What about neighbour buddy country, fellow NAFTA member, etc.?

I wonder when the real interesting stuff (i.e. A3) arrives here in Europe...

After some research, I am more and more interested in this gadget. Can someone confirm some of the following points?

Is it really possible to watch 4 hours of video (Xvid, DivX, whatever)?
The cursor on the left side, is it a mouse stick (as in the IBM Thinkpads) or 'just' a four-way D-pad?

The oqo01+ is really interesting as well, but the battery life of the Vega is supposed to be better and it's still 200$ (or roughly 120� around here) cheaper that the oqo.

One device I would also love to try is the new Samsung Q1b, with a supposed battery life of also 4-5 hours, but then again it is a different class of devices with its 7" display.

They (and you) could at least get the name right, it's "Raon"...

But still too expensive to be any success!

Do you already know anything about the next revision (seeing that the first revision did not even arrive in Europe...)?

Looks nice, but I could not find any information whether or not it plays DivX/Xvid with GMC and/or Qpel.
Was looking at the new Archos devices the other day and as sexy as they are, I would have to re-encode most of my videos for them.

Anyone knows a HD player that supports *all* Xvid/DivX features?
