I've got to say that I LOVE living in Australia. Beautiful weather, safe and free living - pretty much anything you could want to do or experience is here in Australia. Great beaches, great skiing, great forests and huge deserts. But what I really, really hate about Australia is the cost of imported electronic goods. The iPhone is a great case in point.
I am sick and tired or reading American reviews which mention that the new iPhone 3Gs costs US$199 for the 16 gig model and US$299 for the 32 gig model. And some of the reviewers say it's expensive! Well boo hoo to you Yanks!
Now I know that the Aussie dollar floats around the 80 cent mark against the Greenback - but come on. How do Apple justify charging over AU$850 for the 16 gigs iPhone 3Gs and almost AU$1050 for the 32 gig model? I'm getting spanked just for living down-under. It's not right, and is ripping off us poor Aussie consumers. You can visit the Apple store by clicking on the advert at the top of the page and see how the official pricing is tracking.
All overcharging does is make the canny consumer look towards market places such as eBay and other on-line import options. Check out these great auction options available of eBay right now.
