    It's not available in the major US retailers yet (newegg, ZZF, tigerdirect), but I see it on several non-US retailers.

    Is it the same device in other countries?

    Particularly nice for me, since TigerDirect isn't in California--thus I don't have to pay sales tax--and it's Bingable.

    Are you saying you don't claim on line purchases on your income tax and pony up the sales tax at that time. I am just dumbfounded. I wouldn't dream of not paying Arnold his 9.25%:laugh:

    Pulled the trigger on Friday.. UPS says it'll be here tuesday. Despite all the online shopping I do, I constantly forget to Bing them. Kind of like my reusable grocery bags that I constantly leave in the car.
