Not there. I got mine from B&H. Really love it.

I encoded a 1hr40min movie with H264 to 700MB and the quality is .
However the DivX and XviD is where this player really shines, everything I've been
able to download, its been able to play. It has issues with some MKV containers though.

Umm, factor in EMS shipping and customs. I think customs was R500-600.
Since its electronics they add a little extra over VAT.

It is a pricey player but its the best IMO on the market (at this stage).
I mean 800by480 display - the iPod has 320by480 (half res).

The Cowon Q5W has an 800by480 TOUCH screen, no H264 playback but full browser and windows
and full Wifi. It's an option too, but more expensive.

I think you'll prolly only save R200-300 over H2H price. When I bought Have2Have did not
have it or it was way more.
