hmm, i just can't help but feel that the product is going to
a) get cheaper to make
b) get cheaper to buy
c) shift development agendas

i really wonder if the profit margin is great enough for sonicblue to keep things as tehy are,.. and you said you want to market to a wider range.. well that is going to have to encompass a pricing change, whetehr you make an "empeg lite" or just drop prices on the current... because most people have not got th emoney to spend for it.

just outta curiosity, how many Empegs have been sold, mk1 & mk 2?

thanks.. good luck with everything new :)
