For the first time in my lifetime the good old Canadian Dollar is worth about the same as the U.S. Dollar.
Woot!
But wait a second... If that "golden bird coin" flopping around in my pocket is worth more than the "greenback" then why am I still seeing prices that are much higher than in the U.S.
Take for example the iPod Touch ( I still want one, but might hold off for 2nd generation). In the U.S. the 16GB iPod Touch retails for $399USD. In Canada, $449CAD! Where did my $50 go to.... plus I have to pay more in tax.... where's the justice?
I'm tired of getting the old screw job, especially on electronics. Now that the Loonie is rising I think were are going to see more Canadians demand more fair pricing
Too funny.
Thanks John at Daringfireball.net
But I think the Software Industry does it better.

Ok, it was never going to happen. Even if the iPhone came to Canada I just don't have the cash to pay that kind of phone plan. Then along comes iPod Touch..... I was totally caught off guard. Not by the touch interface.... the rumour sites had been predicting that for awhile, but rather by the Wi-Fi capabilities.
I had predicted the iPod Touch would have Wi-Fi in the capacity of buying songs from the iTunes store.... it was only natural. I had not counted on the iPod coming with Safari! That, coupled with the new higher paying job I just landed, has sealed the deal. I'll be buying the iPod Touch, my first iPod in 5 long years. I'm sure I'll still use old clunky from time to time.
