That no doubt has something to do with it :-) - however, price is not the only drawcard - after all, Wallmart in the US has been selling songs for US88c for ages now and have not gained any traction compared to Apple's marketshare. Apple has managed to really hit the sweetspot in marketing, iPod tie-in, ease-of-use, features (audible books, podcasts, music videos etc), that indefinable "coolness" factor as well as price. -Mart
