Twice as costly, I admit, is an exaggeration. Nonetheless, I certainly don't seem to be the only one complaining about Apple's pricing. The Mac Mini will on average be about 10% more expensive in the EU, even though from what I hear Apple is assembling them in the Czech Republic (an EU member state!).
Some of my fellow Europeans have even started a petition for Apple to lower their prices.
Your side of the Atlantic, maybe. Regretfully, Apple's products tend to be at least twice as costly in Europe, so I figure the $500 Mac will be at least 700 or 800 euro's here. For that amount of money, I could still buy two, maybe even three x86-based machines with comparable specifications.

Shouldn't that read: "Here's a quick link to freeipods.com"?
Great. You'll probably see the return of BLINK and MARQUEE tags on an ATM near you soon.
