The wait is over

For those looking out for an Apple product, the weak USD doesn't count. I don't know how things work in the land of Jobs, just take a look at the prices on the Apple Singapore webstore and compare them to the American one. Example: iPod mini is US$249. going by current exchange rate, it should cost S$425. Well, tough, it costs S$458 on apple.com.sg. actually I know why, just griping for fun. it's GST. so if you add 5% to that, it should cost S$446. so its really only S$12 more than the American iPod.

Did I just say the American iPod? Of course its an American.. what else can it be? Evident in the way that it is sold. iPod minis will be available internationally on 24th July, a few months after it started shipping in the US. For a consumer tech product, that's a lifetime. No matter. The world's desire for the iPod mini will finally be met.
