    Those prices are utterly ridiculous. Who will they be marketing this at, because it sure as hell can't be the average recreational hiker?

    They don't appear to actually be on sale yet. The press release said mid-November, so it may be a short while yet.

    Yep - Have had a few Oregon 300/400 models on trial for a couple of weeks with members of the DWMRT. Work very well indeed.... We'll have a (cursory) review up on the refreshed team site early next week.

    Sounds good .. will you give us a shout here when you put it up? I'm particularly interested in some screen shots at different zoom levels to see how well the raster imaging fares when zoomed in close. See page 23 of the manual on how to save screenshots.

    I can probably go one better Alun. You busy this weekend? If not, I can probably get you one to play with for a couple of days, as long as you can scribble a piece for us by Monday :-)

    Sounds very tempting, but as it happens I'm going to be a bit tied up over the weekend I'm afraid.
