iPods: Cheap in Canada, costly in Brazil | Tech News on ZDNet

One of Australia's biggest banks, the Commonwealth Bank, has used the latest version of Apple's music player--the slimline Nano--to compare global currencies and purchasing power in 26 countries

Along the lines of the Big Mac index launched 20 years ago by The Economist magazine, the survey prices the 2GB Nano in U.S. dollars and found that Brazilians pay the most for an iPod, shelling out $327.71, well above second-place India at $222.27.

Canada was the cheapest place to buy a Nano, at $144.20, while Australia ranked 19th at $172.36, cheaper than Germany ($192.46), France ($205.80), South Korea ($176.17) and China, where the machine is manufactured. The United States was fourth-cheapest, at $149.
I thought it was interesting.
