As a Mac owner for 5 months now, I'm looking back and looking forward. I am super happy that I made the move. I even put the Apple sticker on my car.
So, what don't I like? I'm not even sure this has to do with Apple, but I want to vent anyway. You see, I live in Canada, and in some cases, it might as well be Mongolia as far as access to Apple products. Apple releases iPhone? Not in Canada. Apple sells TV shows? Well, you Canadians can have old hockey games. Apple releases iTunes Movie Rentals? Sorry, not for you Canucks.
Pricing: Oh, you're in Canada, and the prices are 20-40% higher? Sorry, but you can't buy this product on the Apple.com site. I know that Quicktime Pro Component for MPEG2 is $19.99 in the US and $30.00 in Canada. Why?
I want to buy Apple software and Products, (have my eye on the MacBook Air) but don't want to pay a Stupid Tax.
I would not be so upset if someone actually told us Canadian Apple customers why we are paying so much more. If someone actually told us why we can't rent movies via Apple TV. I am ready to buy an Apple TV right this minute, but if I can't rent movies, its a no go.
I ask all Canadian customers, write to Apple. Tell them you love the company and its products as I do, and for them to make it easier for us to buy those products.
