Default Release date for Europe: official

Here I found on a french forum that the release date for europe will be end January for the 2 gb version and beginning of february for 4 gb version.
Another info is the price, its Not gonna be cheap: 259€ for the 2 Go and 319€ for the 4 Gb.
link (in french): here

In the Netherlands it got cheaper: Look

208 euros and you get a travel kit (worth 17 euros) with it.

I think the €259 price tage for the 2GB unit would be a little steep, especially if it is going to try and compete with players in that market (i.e. players with 2GB flash memory). I think €208 however sounds more realistic.

The iRiver B10 is only for DMB, with no PMP features. So, unless you live in Korea...

waaaa..in italy i found that pixmania.it shows now the Cowon D2 (only the 2gb one) and they will have it in about 8-10 days...but the price..261€ for the 2gb...

that's not really cheap..also considering that line in cables and tv out cable are all optionals...
it thoght it would not be so expensive...but let's see...

on pixmania.fr or pixmania.be i saw that the price for the 4gb version is around 320€..uh...

so i think it's quite sure that we will see those prices all over europe...but it's really much respect the korean price..it's near the 150% of the korean price...

And it's also like 200% of a 2gb ipod nano and 450% (=4.5 times!) the price of an ultracheap mp3 player of the same capacity...
This is on another planet from every point of view.

I haven't bought anything there. But I do think it's a good site. Another site in the Netherlands is cheap too. www.mmport.nl (204,95 euros) but I've heard some bad feedback on that site (it was very slow with the meizu m6).

This site rates mp3spelers.nl: http://tweakers.net/shopsurvey/2286 but I don't think you can read it. Maybe I will read some comments next week.

So expensive? The price in Sweden will be much cheaper, iAUDIO Sweden told me this prices.
2 GB 2000 SEK = 215,72 Euro = 281,70 USD
4 GB 2500 SEK = 265 Euro = 352,12 USD
The Swedish currency has been much higher these last month and USD has been much lower.
