You would think, and say that we have a global market nowadays. But ‘some markets are more global than others‘ (free from George Orwell).

Years and years ago I did write and did send faxes to makers and distributors of software (Adobe (PageMaker), Norton, Borland (Paradox and Quattro), etc) why I had to pay a (sometimes much) higher price in Europe than in the US. And no, I am not talking translated software! Just the original UK English of US English versions!

Now it is said that we have a global market and that about everything is available about everywhere. Yeah, right!

I am still not able to get a Sony Mylo in Europe and now for the first few months we will not have the coloured Palm Treo 680 in Europe. This is what Palm says on their website: “Arctic, Copper, and Crimson available in the Palm US web store, Palm US retail stores and Palm Canada web store only.”

We still have to get a life with the graphite Treo 680…

I like that colour too, but I want to have a choice on my own!!! I don’t like to be dictated.
