everybody can get it...
http://www.apple.com/ipod/specs.html

this iPod is cool man..i am also planning to get one...btw y does the customs charge 21% tax on it?...i mean it is put as under wat category?..computer items? or electrical products?..

under > Audio Equiptment?

if i remember correctly computer components are tax free.

correct me if im wrong.

i cant remember where's the article lar... they mislabel it as dunno what electronic device...

yalor that is wat i remember too that computer items is tax free...i juz checked out singapore's apple store..there even have student discount for all their products

All Apple store in Malaysia suck blood - no matter if its an entertainment device (iPod) or not (computers)..

According to today's exchange rates, US$299 is only RM1127.82 and US$399 is RM 1505.02. Selling the iPods at RM 1599 and 2099 is inexcusable! No doubt we have the 20% tax. But with that included, they're gaining quite high profit margins.

As for the new iMac, it should be US$1299 which is RM4899.83. Apple Centres in Malaysia are all selling at RM5599! That's about RM 700 extra of our hard earned cash PER COMPUTER.

Since shipping is cheaper from Taiwan to Malaysia than to the U.S., shouldn't Malaysian dealers have more competitive pricing that this? The support we're getting here is not even 1/2 as good as in the U.S. (no genius bar, Mac specialty store, etc). Maybe I shouldn't b!tch too much and just drive down to Singapore to get the goods.

But i prefer the screen to be longer rather than wider, because it looks a bit weird seeing it wider. Haha, anyone planning to do a bulk on this one.

yeah if someone want to do bulk on ipod video 30gb(black),caunt me in

hehe lucky im in australia right now which is also somewhat cheaper according to the exchange rate

hei bro...how much ipod video in australia????u said cheaper right???

maybe u can do bulk for us....

DAMN I just bought an iPod Color on 8 October. A few days later, they come out with iPod Video.

And to think I wasted my effort installing iPodLinux and converting videos which comes out in huge filesizes because it doesn't support compressed avi.

I was wondering, can I get a refund? (Or hope there's some defect)

the 30G model is selling in australia for 1280 ringgit. im not sure about the 60G but ir would definitly be cheaper.

i dont think i can do bulk bro. dont really know how to

It's not Macasia killing people but there's a tax on portable audio players..

14.3% (RM 700) *EXTRA* profit on top of what they already get for the Apple iMac... well, that has gotta raise some eyebrows. (Remember, computers no tax).

If wanna bulk, someone has to "act" as a retailer in Singapore then get even further Apple discounts for bulk, right? I saw a RM700 nano 4GB (way below US249) somewhere in Bulk!
