I saw an ad on Arab News today from i2 (mobile phone company) which claims its an "authorized reseller of Apple". They offered the "latest" iPods. On the ad you can see an old iPod Shuffle and Nanos. I wonder when will the new Shuffle/Nanos become the "latest" ipods?


In other iPod news, seems no matter how high the iPods are priced, some fool would still buy them. I found a store that sold 8GB Black iPod nanos for 1500SR(yup, thats $400!), the store owner admits he overpriced them and he's sold out. Can't blame him, there is an Arabic saying for that...

"Extra Superstore" was the first to bring in the new second generation iPod nanos in a record time, usually it takes stores 3 or more months to notice a new product (although they still sell old iPod Photos!).
No real color options, only silver and black models were available. As for pricing the 2/4/8GB models were priced (as I remember) 750/950/1050 SR. If I had to buy one I would go with the 8GB for the best price otherwise I buy them from Amazon and use Aramex's Shop'n'Ship.

A new web site called WeWantAppleGreece has been launched by Greek Mac users to increase the availability of Apple products and service in the country. The amount of Apple products sold in the Greek market grows daily, but there’s the impression that the service and the support provided by several independent small companies in Greece doesn’t follow the standards of the rest of the Apple companies worldwide follow, according to the site organizers.

Other similiar site from Poland. Guess we should start a Saudi one of our own.

I will be posting news here, hope you enjoy it!
