It was paid US$ 71.99 + US$ 9.00 for a video player?

What's the funny here?... over the world lots of people pay more for a device that only plays music... that expensive device looks exactly the same to this one that appear in the advertising... is capable to play music, lately was added MP3 also in the formats capable to play, but it can't play videos... its sound is simply average... no special attribute in this area.

Nothing justify the extra price buyers is asked for, as this device is manufactured in China.

There is only a small detail... its marketing campaign is the most efficient of the world, as everybody knows it very well and often its name is confused as the name of the genre.

It's know as iPod... meaning mp3 for all the world.
