This is great news.. especially after some time looking on ebay for a HI-MD with Mac compatibility with an extra microphone I didn't really need (and that never came to Europe). This unit seems to be great and expectedly to get a fairer price. Now for the questions... >Is that really an optical line out? (because there are so few portable units to have it, I find it hard to believe..) >Is the price in Europe expected to be the equivalent for the expected price in the US, or is it going to be a bit higher? Anyway.. I'll be wanting one of these. And it comes out the very month of my birthday
