So all those 99c tunes will be only 54p each here at the current rate of exchange. Yay! Except the news story says the songs will be 79p each ($1.44!!!) but doesn't mention that means they will be 25p (almost 50%) more expensive over here. Boo! Greedy bastards.
I'm used to the straight quid to dollar conversion on hardware prices etc because the American companies have got the frequently used excuse of 'transatlantic transport costs'. So what transport costs do Apple incur hosting mp3s? Fscking gayers. Well they can stick their iPod up their arse too - I'll buy the Sony or Microsoft one instead.
