Apparently nobody is providing feedback on the spot from Paris ...

Up to now it seems to be quite boring:

Panther preview, nothing new...

Everybody is beating the PowerBook drum. Let's see what happens.

Shit. They cost 79€ each. Means: We pay almost double the US price with current currency exch. rates... :/
 
I'm at the Expo with ksv, we're in the press room. All info is going to MacNN, you should check. We have video taped Keynote, pictures, but the connec is slow. Ask any questions at francoisbriatte@yahoo.fr

Be back soon, see you ! I was interviewed by a famous French newspaper and talked on this forum, the guy was enthusiastic :p
 
1 euro = 1.12 dollars..
therefore 59 dollars = 52 euros
and it costs 79 euros...
i think 60 euros would be logical .. but 79 euros ?? cummon...
this is the only thing i hate bout apple; its prices in Europe!!!
 
That is what we were told. Euro prices and dollar prices are the same.

Eg. 17" PB is $2999 as well as €2999.
 
and Cat is right, I just checked it. Wireless devices prices differ in euros and dollars.

Gia, fryke, any forum people at the Expo, if you read me, please mail me ! francoisbriatte@yahoo.fr for an interview, or simply fun. Fryke, I oughta buy your book :)
 
fryke, in US in most places you pay 9 - 10 % more than the list price because of the sales tax. so it's not that much double yet.
