prices around the world
i have noticed that the prices in my home country (new zealand) seam to be more than they should be taking into account current exchange rates and shipping and tax.
i want to start a comparison of prices around the world. prices converted to us dollers, including any tax (please state tax amount)
to start it off:
new zealand, tax: gst =12.5%
prices are inclusive of tax
top of the line g4 (non bto) 4497$us
emac cdrw 1771$us
low end imac 2140$us
how does your country price these models?

I know the new 10GB iPods are already cheaper than the 5GB were a couple days ago so as more stock clears there should be more price drops to compensate for stronger currencies vs the US dollar.

Apple Store:
- dual DP g4 (non bto) 4018$us
- emac cdrw 1377$us
- low end imac 1836$us
local store (prices not updated yet after keynote):
- dual DP g4 (non bto) 3543$us
- emac cdrw (not in online shop,
another shop: 1434$us with anti virus software and some coupons for software rebates included)
- low end imac 1850$us
Though nobody seems to get it in a$$ like the brits, whom Apple seems to think are using pesos. <img src="graemlins/oyvey.gif" border="0" alt="[No]" />
Top of the line G4 $4396
eMac cdrw $1487
Low end iMac 1893$
And the 5 gig iPod is $431 compared to $299 in the States <img src="graemlins/oyvey.gif" border="0" alt="[No]" />
The new 17" iMac is $1999/CHF 3499 ($2432), so that's about a 22% difference. Of course, the CH prices include TVA, and the US prices don't, since it depends on which State you are buying in.
The price gap for the dual 1G PowerMac was about 28%:CHF 5499 ($3821) vs $2999 in US.
The 800G PowerBook had a gap of about 30%: CHF 5999 ($4169) vs. $3199 in US.
Actually, I practically collapsed the other day when I heard one analyst announce that the Euro had risen against the dollar, reflecting greater confidence in the STARRY RING. Brother, I think rather parity or worse dollar to euro is clearly an indicator of the dollar's weakness in the current market. BUT WHAT DO I KNOW, I'M A RENTER IN MANHATTAN <img src="graemlins/oyvey.gif" border="0" alt="[No]" /> <img src="graemlins/embarrassed.gif" border="0" alt="[Embarrassed]" />
Now if there was only a 1ghz 17" iMac they would have my cash...
VAT is 19,6 % but even with the VAT the price for France should be 600 Euros .. :-(
1 Euro = 1,01 $
to transfer video from my Sony Camcorder to DVD. My Sony camcorder uses Digital 8mm tapes. I'd like to
burn copies onto DVDs. I know I can do this with the Fire Wire connection. My question is: How much video
can I fit onto each DVD? One apple.com page states that a person can fit "up to 22 minutes of digital
video" onto each DVD. Another apple.com site states that one can fit "up to 90 minutes of high quality
video" onto each DVD. Are these both correct? And if so, what is meant by "high quality video"?
I am getting the impression that current DVD-writing technology is just "single-layered" or something like
that and that in the future, it will be "multi-layered" enabling much more video to be placed onto each DVD.
Is that correct? And if so, what is the guestimate on the ETA of that technology?
