Still waiting for these little babies to be available in the UK.
Anyone got one over the pond yet?
Paul.

I believe they should be out in the UK quite soon (I'm not sure if that's a marketing soon or a real soon).
Anyway - yes - I happen to know that there are several of these in the Cambridge vicinity

Rob, thanks for the help!
A surprise that they are all in Cambs though! - can you see them all from your desk?
Paul.

I rather fancy getting my hands on one here in the UK. Its the Dell one for me as it looks cheaper and I already have Ethernet so don't need the phone network stuff. Anyone found a UK supplier, or a USA web site that will do a UK order ?

I imagine that the dell one is only going to be available via Dell, no sign of any mention of it on their website though - the audio section mentions the 'HipZip' but nothing else.
Rio seem only interested in US sales at the moment, so I think that the only way to actually get one is to mug a passing ex-empegger....
If you do find a site, please let me know - I'm still waiting for one!
Cheers,
Paul.

WOW! I notice that the price is down to $199.00, and that includes your choice of a 10/100 desktop card, a 10/100 notebook card, or an HPNA card.
Way to go, Dell! ___________

Gumble, grumble, grumble.
I'd just order one from the US, but I'm not sure about voltage, etc....
This is just getting stupid - I can't by anything from Rio in the UK..... empeg-car included.
Paul.

Anyone who has one of these in their hands can comment if there is a 110v/240v switch on the back ?

It certainly does :
$199 for the dell
$349 fro the rio
Has the rio got a golden volume-knob or something?
I presumed the hardware is identical, so why this huge price-difference?

Double check me, but i'm pretty sure the $149 price is only if you order it with a Dell system...otherwise it's $199. And off the top of my head, i don't recall seeing a Voltage switch, but i'll double check that tonight.

The PSU is auto-ranging 100-240v. It's fully approved for europe, too - CE marked & so on. PNA2.0 is also approved for use on EU telephone systems, I believe.
The $349 Rio price includes a PCI HPNA2.0 card, without the card it's $299 (the old price of the Dell).

Now, I'd buy one from the US Dell site - but it won't let me enter a non-us address.
I give up.

This isn't really surprising, as the product hasn't been launched in the UK yet. I hope it won't be long before it is.

Why does it need to be "launched" in the UK. I have bought loads of stuff from the US via web orders.

Loren,
Thanks for the offer - whatcha think it'll cost in shipping? The last time I had something shipped from CA it cost me nearly $100! (and I *know* that I was not getting the best deal).
Cheers,
Paul.

i have no idea what it would cost. The box for the reciever i got couldn't have been more than 5 lbs., so ... quick estimate at UPS.com says something like $75.

In reply to:

Too right. Sometimes companies need reminding what the first two 'WW's in 'WWW' mean.
