I stand corrected - forgot about the memory stick.  The 8MB stick lists for
$25 now though since Sony's latest price cut, so that still leaves you
paying an additional $75 for the mp3 player.  And an 8MB stick isn't much to
work with when you're storing mp3 files, so you're probably going to want to
go out and buy a bigger stick anyway - the 8MB one thrown in is kind of a
joke - ironically enough, it makes more sense with the models WITHOUT mp3
playback, since 8MB is quite a bit of space for Palm apps and data.
