I’m so jealous of those people who live just opposite the street from the Apple Store (as seen in the video on Apple’s site)!

M5 coupe?
For a person who’s supposedly reporting on consumer goods, it seems like BusinessWeek’s new products director doesn’t know his cars very well.

It’d be better just to compare different prices on the apple store, really
60GB iPod:
France: $572
Ireland: $575
UK: $556
US: $399
Latin America: $399
Korea: $463
Singapore: $459
Spain: $550
That was vaguely interesting. That’s a whole iPod nano extra in Ireland. They can’t cost a great deal more to import so is it based on ability to pay (France is a lot richer than Spain, for example).
I don’t really get how they can do this with the single market and economy. It’d be pretty easy to just order an iPod from Spain and save yourself a couple bucks if you lived in France.
