Street prices are generally a lot lower than MSRP for most companies. One notable exception I've seen to this rule is Apple.

Looks good - I'm a big fan of their M3 at the moment

Was there a price listed somewhere that I didn't see?

I'm happy with my Dell DJ 30 at the moment, but that is cool.

Looks interesting...

The supposed MSRP is $300.

My iRiver H120 is good enough for me.

My fault, I was busy and only glanced over the link. I've known iAudio's MSRPs to be high and assumed that it was for this and that you were commenting on that.

[EvilYoda]

yeah, I've been waiting to see the release price since Engadget featured it back whenever.

Currently using their M3, pretty good experience so far.

From someone on the iaudiophile.net forums who has an X5 already:

pros
- has, or damn near, gapless MP3 playback. i can't decide whether to officially call it yet or not. Tracks aren't "spliced" together intelligently like on the Rio Karma but there isn't a gap either. You can hear a track ending and the next starting, it's fast, like 1/10 sec. no gap, but it's not invisible either. what y'all say?

Apparently the M3's remote will be compatible with the X5.
