Now I’m pissed off against Apple!

Posted by deepquest on April 29, 2003 – 6:23 pm

Europe vs US applestore prices are insane!!

The new products released yesterday are once again in advance compare to their competitor. The new Itune 4 from Apple offer 2 majors features:
-Sharing your play list, so no need to set broadcast or streaming server if you want to share with friends.
-For 99 cents you can buy a song from their catalogue, it’s a great idea to prevent from stealing mp3. They have more than 200 000 soungs at this time available.

But when it come to services, I really get pissed off. The service is ONCE AGAIN availble in US! Every time Apple offer new services they only offer it in US, they promise local upgrade but it never happens. For eg let talk about the yellow pages in sherlock, it’s only available in US. Is it so hard to create a quicktime channel to sent requests to local yellow pages?
What about the new Ipod… Great design, great features awfull price. The Ipod is sold for 299$ in applestore US and 437 $ (399 euros) in applestore France. Almost 140$: half of the price difference! It’s insane! Why should we pay more?

    So Alex, 30 Go model is for you.
    it’s $499 vs euros 500,84 (without VTA).

    Only $63,8941* (as of 05/04/2003) of penalty for old Europe resident…
    it’s – not – huge.

    You know the 10 Go is for PC guys… and it’s fair to make them pay 😉

    *Or 64,5394 songs you can’t buy on Music Store.
