Not sure, but post back if you find out.

This is one neat device. I had played with the U10 before, and got to use a Clix a couple of weeks ago (mate brought one back from the US) I liked it so much I ordered one from the iriver store in the US and getting a mate over there to forward the package on to New Zealand

I saw the Clix in Singapore during the Windows Vista Lab session on multimedia. What a device... If there's a distributor in New Zealand I want to know too!

I'd love to find a clix too. I've got a U10 and a 2GB U10 with album art and some extras would be absolute perfection in my mind.

They are available in Australia now AU$299, Dick Smith is probably the best place to buy one, they do international shipping for AU$50. None in stock yet tho.

AU $299 + AU $50 = AU $349 = NZ $430

Minidisc Oz has a much better price (AUS$245)

I'm currently tossing up between the Clix and a Sandisk Sansa e250.... decisions...

Nice, thanks, but does anyone know anything about this company minidisk.com.au? Should I trust them with my hard earned credit card details.

I've bought a minidisc player off them previously, no problems at all. Delivered to Auckland in about 4 days.

Damn I've caved in. I ordered a Clix from minidisc.com.au on Monday, they shipped it the same day. Now I'm just drumming my fingers waiting for the thing to arrive...

I expect I will be doing the same thing shortly.
Let us know what you think of the Clix when you get it.

Received this morning, no probs. In summary: ordered from Minidisc.com.au on Monday at about 10am, received by 9am Thursday.

It's freaking beautiful.
I've used a U10 before, and the interface on the Clix is heaps better. Faster, more intuitive, more options.
Syncs with Windows Media Player 11 with no issues. I use star ratings quite a lot to tag my favourite songs, and the ratings sync back to WMP11 no problems.
Album art is cool and works well if you have it in WMP11.
In addition to 2x, 4x and 6x FFWD speeds, they've added 30x and 60x, so fast-forwarding through big podcasts is no longer an issue like it was on the U10.
It's freaking beautiful.

Happy to answer questions.

Minidisc is brilliant! I ordered an iRiver H320 off them about a year ago or so and couldn't be more happy with their service. Absolutely recommend using them as a Kiwi - i didn't even have to pay the NZ GST on import!

Correct. If the GST is less than $50 customs will not ping you for it. Minidisc.com.au appear to always put AU$100 on their packages as the value, which should be OK in most cases, but be careful.

I HAVE been pinged for GST before (importing a $600 radio control transmitter), but luckily the landed price + GST was still hundreds of dollars cheaper than the local retail.

Hi

I was wondering if the accessory pack or the cradle be worth getting?
