I am another high school student and just started a FIRST robotics team at my high school. From firsthand experiece I know how excited me and close to 35 or 40 of my classmates are to participate, we had to go door to door at local business to get the 6000 registration fee, but we all put in the hard work. Its a real motivating factor.
I am kind of wondering how legal this seemingly exact duplication is. The Carbon is nice looking, but when you really boil it down it is a knock off of the iPod mini, from the silver engraved backing all the way down to the black and white box. This is all too much of a coincidence for me. Additionally the scarcity of the player should theoretically make the first 500 sell fast, however after they mass release these suddenly the scarcity factor goes down, and according to economic theory so does the demand.
