i hope it wasn't due to cost, given the $600...availability issues?...

(this is me asking if i can order a custom model) -- interesting product...
Any response to this? Would it be possible for someone to calculate a rough cost of raw materials for the 801, is it close to $600?

Otherwise I like what I hear about the player so far, 32gb is fine: let's be honest most of us sit in front of our computers each and every day, it's easy to swap music around. Especially with the battery life, we'll need to come home to charge it anyway.

Oh also, another question, can this be charged via USB? That would make life much easier
