Curious where (if anywhere) North American buyers are finding Revo's, the cheap ones (1GB/SSD) that is. Went through Froogle.co.uk and nobody pricing the Revo under 200 pounds seemed to have one in stock. Lots of them available at +/- 350 but out of stock on all the inexpensive ones.

Electronic Megastore, who pops up on the US Froogle @ 269, seem sketchy as hell (no reply back on 24 hr re: whether units are in stock and only takes bank transfers).

One seller on Ebay has them starting at 335 USD Buy it Now including shipping from Taiwan. Considering the sold out units in UK start at 135 before VAT, that's a decent markup he's making. (Pound = 1.65 USD... 135# = 226USD).

Would be quite happy to buy one myself from Taiwan if I in fact knew Mandarin.

Any suggestions?
