Those fellows are idoits. They create a player at $1,999 (£1,079) a piece who's gimic is that its wifi and capible of better than MP3, AAC or WMA quality sound.

What was the point again? Am i the only one that sees a pointless sales pitch here? Wifi isn't expensive these days and the ability to play wav and flac isn't rare either. It's one thing to want good quality, it's another to think you need to spend 2000 bucks to get it.
