if everything goes as planned, will be spending a few days in june in hong kong. toying with the idea of getting a 60G ipod there. since this is the 1st time i am going there, any tips on the best place to get it?
i have been drooling over the prices on the hk apple store. 3200 hk money is like rm 1,521.81. hell, over here the 30G costs rm 1,499! with just an extra rm 22.81 i get double the space! writing it down now makes me want it even more. tongue.gif

I just came back from HK..... most major stores will have the iPod at 3200 HK dollars........ The most common place where they sell it is at a electronic chain store (something like Best, but all gadgets like Mp3 players, TVs and stuff like that) called "Fortress".....

By then iPod 60GB should be phased out already... 4" widescreen iPod anyone? LoL, or iPhone brows.gif
If only those analysts wasn't BS about this.
