I can't believe it! I actually got one!!! I've been reading the sad posts since I ordered on 12/26 and just now thought I'd better give up hope. Then I checked SonicBlue again at 7:15pm and it said "Complete" with a FedEx tracking number. It had completed only 10 minutes earlier!

I am very bummed for everyone who didn't get one. I too have been watching and waiting for about a year. I was saddened by the economic forces that caused it to be end of lifed, but I understand the reality.

I suspect the forces that caused digital music and this player will continue in some fashion - how can they not? But I now consider myself among the lucky ranks of empeg owners! YEAH!
