I don’t get excited by the stock exchange or anything that involves banks.. unless it affects me directly, then I take an interest!
I mentioned Apple’s new toy earlier this evening, but I couldn’t access their web stores to check pricing. If I had done I’d have been able to report that, while the rest of us know that 1 euro != 1 dollar, Apple obviously missed that lesson.
They have somehow managed to do a direct one for one price conversion!
A $299 device in the US becomes a $400+ device in Ireland (according to xe.com’s rates)!!!!
So if you want to get one of the new toys you might as well fly to the US – you can have a nice weekend and pick one up at the same time. The money you save on the ipod will probably cover the flight! (well maybe not, but exagerration is fun)
