I'm in Japan. Just bought one for 60000 yen (about 300 quid, probably about 450 dollars).
If you edit/home/zaurus/Settings/locale.conf so that it says "en" instead of "jp", the whole thing, apart from HancomWord and HancomSheet, switches over to English. Dynamism are putting a serious premium on it. I'd avoid them and order direct from Japan.
By the way, the thing as absolutely fantastic. The screen is unbelievable!
IMO, Sensaura's 3D positional audio is vastly superior to the Creative stuff and makes a huge difference with first person games. Really good drivers as well.
And for the price, there's simply no comparison whatsoever.

That's not necessarily true. Microsoft bought The Blue Ribbon Soundworks, creators of the greatest MIDI program in the world, Bars & Pipes Pro and eventually (after about 6 years) released the source code to the program back to the Amiga community.
There is a similar Amiga (and PC demo) site, Back 2 the Roots. It is a great site with hundreds of Amiga games, demos, music, and PC demos on there for download. The owner of the site has gone to great pains to get permission for every piece of copyright work (i.e. games and music) on there.
The site has been knocked out of action twice by IDSA. The problem is that the IDSA didn't check or anything (both times), they just told the ISP the site was illegal and the ISP complied!
I sent a complaint mail to them about it, but of course, I didn't receive anything back.
The IDSA may have their place, but they are being paid by the industry to do a job that they are obviously not doing properly.
I was saying that the pickup is analog. Yes, it becomes digital once it enters the beautiful beast that is the VG-8, where the sound gets torn apart and put back together again.
I really can't see any benefits in buying a digital guitar over buying one with a Roland six-string pickup in it.
It still amazes me how many people have never heard of the VG-8/VG-88/V-Bass.
It's shocking what it can do. I still sit there playing thinking "but that's a guitar!".
The VG-8(and VG-88) are the best things to happen to guitars for years (and they've also been out for years). They have their own pickups which transmit each individual string, although in analog form, not digital. They are truly amazing in how they re-model your guitar into any guitar/amp/brass/whatever.
I can't see how the digital pickups will be any better than the Roland pickup.

And an elephant can...no more...get it's trunk...up it's own guts, than wecanlickourballs.
Wonder how many people got it?

You could upgrade to the Turtle Beach Santa Cruz card.

Gremlin released a CD a good few years with all(?) of their Amiga games on it:
Take a look.
Of course, Gremlin themselves disappeared soon after.
Some fantastic games on there.

You almost can with the VG-8 or VG-88.
You can turn your electric guitar into any other electric, acoustic, banjo, brass, string, pwm, bass, hammond, whatever.
Funnily enough, no matter what sound you use, it always ends up sounding like a guitar solo because of the playing style.
