but that's not going to happen while we're selling empegs for $199

Now if only SonicBlue had found a way to magically manufacture the empegs so that they could sell them at $199 and make a profit...then we'd see the kind of empeg community that you were hoping for.

Unfortunately, a top quality product like the empeg requires top quality equipment, which isn't really cheap unless you can find a way to mass produce them. But, even still, the HDs still would cost a good portion.

I guess it'll always be the underground product it is, with it's loyal (cultish) following.
