The gap between Australia and the United States is closing.
Not geographically—the Pacific Ocean is still infeasibly large. I’m talking about the gadget gap.
This is the gap between gadget pricing and availability in the United States and our little continent.
Now our dollars are worth the same, gadget prices should also be similar. And measures like grey imports, direct importing and price changes are helping.
But proof that we’re not quite there yet is already sneaking into 2012.
Sony has just slashed the price of its tablet in the States but failed to do so here, meaning Australians are paying significantly more.
It’s 2012. The world may be ending soon. Can we please fix this issue before it does?
Do you think you're getting the most cost friendly gadgets in 2012?
