A complaint that Apple's music download service is "ripping off" UK customers by charging them more than users in France and Germany has been referred to the European Commission. The consumer body Which? wrote to the Office of Fair Trading in September, asking it to investigate why prices for using the iTunes service are 20 per cent higher in the UK than in France and Germany. The OFT, the competition watchdog in the UK, has now asked the European Commission to look into the matter. Phil Evans, principal policy adviser at Which?, formerly the Consumers' Association, said: "UK consumers are getting a raw deal from Apple."
I was actually going to get an ipod but looking at the growing market for mp3 players there's alot about with better ability than the 'fashion icon' ipod. Creative Labs are releasing a similar model called the 'Zen' which is very like the ipod but with more features. It's just hard to choose with such a myriad of models about. I think I'll stick with my existing model at the moment.
