By "still" I mean "that's STILL way too much cash money."

As far as I'm concerned.

It's going to get cheaper, but not today. Apple's inching closer to their margins. I don't think they make more than maybe $30, tops, on this. (Trivia: the first 5GB iPod sold for $399, which was what the HD cost from the factory. They haggled a little, and got a little volume discount, but we're talking these kinds of margins here.)

US prices. The 20GB white iPod is still at $299 - and still fourth-gen, too, by the way.

I don't know if they have student discounts here. They probably do but I'd have to go to an Apple Store instead of any old place that sells iPods.

Still, I can wait for one more price drop.

They have Apple Stores online, too, you know. (Click the Education link under More Stores to the right.) And hell, they have student discounts in Sweden, they better have them in Canada too.

Hmm...for my school, a 20GB iPod is $269, a savings of about 10%...not bad but if it was down to $200 i'd be more inclined to buy one

They do, it seems like a 10% (more or less) discount... I'd save $40 on the 30GB iPod Photo, for instance.

That's not too bad but I still don't have the cash to throw around.

Half the price in US.

I know. Between US and import taxes added, they still manage to shaft us. I have a contact in an Apple Store in the US - I could get the 30GB for roughly the swedish 20GB price. (Before the taxes.)

Edit: changed the title.

I tend to confuse it with 16-colour, that's what. Though I still don't plan to buy one. I have an MP3 player and can't think of a real use for a portable image viewer. Find me one that can play anim

But then you have to wait for the video iPod to come out and lord knows if Apple's even working on that, let alone when/if it would be released.

We get a small tax on our iPod's but it's the same as our blank media (CD/DVD-ROM) tax.

You and how many other Canadians here?

I think the worst things companies like Sympatico/etc. have done for Canadians caught downloading illegal goodies is a quick little warning e-mail.

You know how I said Mum would be interested in the iPod Photo?

She is, but it took her a while to work out that she could put photos on it. Second she realised that, she was sold...

..picking it up this evening.
