I don't know that we can be so sure that the WhipMOD isn't selling as expected.  The number of posts about a product on Head-fi isn't always a great indicator, since I hardly see posts about the iMod anymore but (based on a meet I went to and general feeling)--the iMod seems like one of RWA's best-selling products.
 
In any event, the WhipMOD has been a very good purchase for me.  The ability to choose from 240gb of FLAC, WV, APE, and M4A files (with Rockbox) is something that no other player can offer.  While the WhipMOD's sound quality may not match the HM-801's (especially with the full-size cans I have), it's still excellent.  Portability is definitely an advantage; the Whip plus a portable amp is more compact than the HM-801, plus you have the option to use the headphone out.  And while I'm gradually moving away from Apple products, everyone has hardware to support them so it's nice to be able to play it on a friend's iPod stereo dock, or using the line-in of a car stereo (an awesome way to hear the power of the TWag Elite Reference LOD).
 
For me, the Whip makes the most sense if you have a huge library of music in a variety of formats and not much time/opportunity to rotate the music on your player.  The 240GB+Elite Ref LOD combo may be a bit of a luxury combo, but if you're like me and you travel a lot and get quickly tired of hearing the same songs, it's far preferable to swapping out SD cards or rotating between several old iPods.

lol.. unfortunately I pretty much share your view, which is why I soooo hope that the price could come down a little so it can be affordable for all.

Having dropped a significant amount of cash on both an imod and whipmod, this is a 
Very interesting topic on the imod/whipmod oroducts. This is worthy of a separate topic to get other head fi'ers opinions.

so whats your verdict comparing the imod vs whipmod?
and overall value considering the cost?

I have only owned the whipmod so I cant compare it to anything else. im in heaven with this thing. this thing and the ttvj slim are not big and bulky. I like the interface of an ipod and the storage capacity.

I owned both and was happy with them, but is it worth the price? In hindsight, no. I think the difference is so subtle that it would be very difficult to justify the price. I have since sold both, but do own two pair of custom IEMs and the Whiplash OM replacement cable, which I think has made a huge difference.
 
I started a new thread on this topic as I think it is worth soliciting other head fi'er opinions.

Thanks,

Ian,
I have been waiting for almost 6 months now ! Excuses is what i have gotten ,The cables were sent, to "yours is coming monday", "Your paper work was lost in the shuffle" Customer Service emails not answered, PM's not returned !
i Really feel like i am getting the end of the stick here-!!, I do not know what to do. i have waited long enough $700 later and all i have
is a whipLod, Two replacement IEM cables for my JH13's, One of those Replacement cables i did not even order !!! i have explained to Craig
in PM's and i am not getting anywhere. At one time Craig had mentioned he was having problems with his vendor that helps with or produces the 
Whipmods, I am wondering if something happened to my ipod then? All i want is the product i paid for or make it right some how ,Be the good company Whiplash Audio is, Reply to your customers who put money into your business, All i want is a fair deal if something really bad has happened,like my WHIPMOD WAS SHIPPED TO SOMEONE ELSE BY MISTAKE, CAUSE I GOT SHIPPED TO ME A VERY EXPENSIVE
TWAG 60'' REPLACEMENT CABLE, I DID NOT PAY FOR !! THATS THE ONLY THING I CAN THINK OF. 
Ian i hope this dose not happen to you, i had to put this out there hopefully Craig will Respond to me , Really this has gone to far.
ALL EARS

Sorry to hear about your experience. I have the whipmod+fatboy+twag combo and had no problems with my order. I was one of the first who ordered. However, a few months back i was in contact with craig bout trying something for my car as far as getting more audio products. We exchanged some emails and he said he would look into some stuff more me. Over a span of like a month i think i emailed him like 7 times regards to placing an order. I never got a single response. I felt like the fat girl at the party. The whole time I'm trying to spend $ with the guy, and i cant even get a response. Looking back they saved me money not responding. I just wonder if the service is going down. Luckily i have everything working fine because. Don't even want to know what will happen if i need to fix something. Maybe he left the company or something. Maybe someone else can help you.

Wow that sucks ALLEARS, it reminds me of what I have/am going through with another cable manufacturer 

 
My saga is not ready for public consumption yet, but the shipping lies have made me register a Paypal dispute. My vendor keeps telling me it has shipped, but won't respond to my request for some kind of verification and this was a few weeks ago. It was less money and I didn't send away an iPod , but the lies continue; this is the dark side of our hobby. It's not always intentional as sometimes things "just happen" to/with these boutique companies but the results are the same when this happens. As they say about the Road to Hell...
 
Anyways you struck a nerve; I sincerely hope that it all works out for you.

Dunno what's going on over at whiplash, whatever happened to the new customer service guy and the custserv email that appears to be dead, but I'm experiencing pretty much the same thing
