Default I-Mate K-JAM vs Qtek 9100

Is there any obvious reason why the K-JAM is about £60 ($108) more expensive than the 9100? I'm assuming they're either made in the same factory or the same "blueprints" are given to each company to make the device. If this is the case then I'm guessing I-Mate is just playing off of it's well established brand name... or maybe there are just some software differences.

Thoughts?

The only thing I can think of is the support you get from I-mate. Now I know its not great but have you tried to find an English support site for the QTEK..

TBH I've not been able to work out what the 'offical' qtec site is... They all seem to be too naff to be a corprate site.

Is it http://www.qtek.fi/ ?

I _think_ its the .fi site. Usually foreign websites are all naff (I mean look at anything .com.tw).

A better site but "distributör för Qtek-produkterna" not them

Still - I have to say the lack of web site etc has convinced me that the extra £50 or so and 1 year warrenty instead of 2 is worth it in the long run so I'll probably get an Imate.

Qtek 9100 on www.smartdevicesdirect.com is £410.08
I-mate K-JAM on www.smartdevicesdirect.com is £468.83

I've ordered the Qtek from above back when it was only £400 (they raised the price by £10 pre-tax!).

Hrm, £449.99 for a K-JAM, thats a very good price indeed. If I trusted that Amazon would get stock early I'd probably change my order.
