Period. The problem is that in the US the median household income varies by city and state, but everyone pays the same price. Someone who lives in New Jersy or Maryland is more likely to earn double than someone in Mississippi or West Virginia. But everyone gets the same price. In europe it's easier for companies to set a price per country. My main point of this thread was that Logitech is/was selling the device for 225 $ themselves, not a discounter, while we europeans have to wait until it becomes availible and then pay double. -- Sike ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sike's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2458 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77371 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
