Sounds like you are comparing apples [no pun intended to Apple] to oranges.  What do fans have to do with vacuums?

Nah, I don't have an invite myself... although I did have one for the DC15 'the ball' launch, sent by someone at Dyson who worked on the launch at the time. Dyson staff are said to regularly follow this discussion forum. My very words at the time was it's like having a 'golden ticket' to the chocolate factory! It was a great event. Dyson is that rare beast... a British technology success story, but with (crucially) the positive attributes of American PR / Marketing. The invite link above was posted on the 'Dyson Team' Twitter page today.

I always follow the Apple 'live' announcements with a similar level of intrigue. If it is, as rumoured, something as straight-forward as a new type of 'fan' then it's quite something to get live web casts from the leading consumer magazine, Which?

Give them a call, get invited (invite yourself) and go!  Tell them your pro-Sir James and UK's biggest contributor here (the largest Google-indexed vacuum cleaner site in the world) – that means something!  Heck they let the foul talking and irreverent (but becoming more reverent) gizmodo.com guys behind the scenes, etc.

Give them a call and Go!

Ha, I'm happy to stay where I am on this one! It'll be tough to beat the 'reveal' of James D. pushing a DC15 from the back of the room, up a circular ramp on to the stage and proceed to demo how it works.
I nominate yourself, even though I doubtlessly carry any weight on the issue!

If Mike W. is true to his word here he'll let a little playtime for diversions as long as it doesn't go overboard.  It doesn't make me no never mind.  Whatever floats your dyson boat.  Fans, pencil sharpeners, washers, lights, hand driers, ball barrows.  All this fluff takes time money and effort away from the core vacuum business.  In good times, a company can get by with these diverse distractions.  In bad times, there is no 'play' money for the non-core products and businesses.  Do you see your brand advertising here lately?

I'll try be first to say it... $300! For 'a fan'

I thought that the price might have to be defended to a certain degree, compared to fans that are as cheap as anything, but that's quite a jump.

I like it, though. If I had the need and the spare cash I'd likely get one. The initial price can only come down in time, but to how far is anyone's guess. And... I s'pose like a good screen for your PC, if it's something you need most days, you could see it as a fair investment. With no outward moving parts and the digital motor, it would likely last longer than a typical desktop fan. It is pretty unique in what it does and that aways commands a premium... but good luck to them, getting that message in to the press tomorrow.

What's quite interesting is that it will be initially be sold by up market high street retailers, where it will perhaps look quite cheap compared to bespoke artwork... kinda an add-on purchase. It is also said to be being made (assembled) in the UK... presumably plenty of scope for added value at this price. So a good PR 'win' for Dyson against the mostly unfair criticism of moving the vac production overseas ...it's not a huge commitment, but on principle it's one in the eye for those who thought moving a small amount of unskilled assembly overseas was the be all and end all.

You guys are kidding '''''  right, who's the target market for the combination spotlight bladeless fan, The sultan of bunei.This is a joke right.

STOP, JUST STOP, This is really pushing it, do you guys manufacture your own CRACK or something
