AU: Obviously no iPhone update over here, but we do get the 32GB iPod Touch. It will set you back $629, as opposed to the $499 16GB version or the $399 for the 8GB.

    ok ok qhy $629 for the ipod touch in australia but $499 in the US?

    that isnt even a direct exchange price. realistically if it were to follow that method of thinking it would be about $550-580

    So Aussies get screwed again by Apple. I don’t get it. How can Apple justify the difference between US and AU prices for iTunes downloads and their hardware/software? It can’t that much extra for shipping (especially downloads!).
