I agree with you, from what I've seen of the forum so far (don't come here too often though so I might be wrong!) everyone is after iPods, mobile phones etc.
I find that on such items, the profit margins are very tight, and you can rarely make a good profit as it is easy to get a guide market price which every buyer will know.
As said above , it is much better to import items which don't have a set market price which everyone is aware of - bikes and kitchen fittings being a good example and other items such as MP4 players - although widely sold - changing the usually cheap packaging and design and making your own changes to it so you have more room for profit.
