Adobe may be trying its best to skirt the issue of crazy high prices in Australia, but it's going to be hard as long as news outlets like News.com.au keep pointing out that it is actually cheaper to fly to the US and pick up a copy of Adobe CS6 than it is to stay in Australia and buy it there.

Adobe is currently receiving flack for selling software at inflated prices in Australia, where Creative Suite costs around £1,000 more than in the UK. In this interview, Adobe's CEO Shantanu Narayen completely refuses to explain why. Politicians could learn something from this guy; he's more slippery than a fish coated in Crisco.

According to a teardown by IHS, renowned estimator of how much companies actually pay for components, Apple’s iPad Mini carries a USD$188 (£118) cost of materials. You know how Google and Amazon are just barely breaking even on their tiny tablets? This is the opposite of that. Read More >>

We've had a date, October 30th, for a while, but now we have prices to go with it. The bad news is there's no unlimited data, and if you want the sweet, blazing waves of 4G before the end of the month you'll have to pay at least £36-a-month for two years to get it. Read More >>
OK, the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is much, much bigger than an iPhone 5, but could it really command a premium over the £530 asking price of Apple's sales-monster? Pre-orders have gone live for the Note 2 in the UK, and, unfortunately, it's not going to come cheap. Read More >>

We've finally got the UK's Wii U pricing details, and it's not going to come cheap. £250 will bag you just the Basic 8GB version, with the Premium, 32GB version weighing in at a wallet-crunching £300. You can pre-order it now, either at Game or Amazon. Time to start saving for that Christmas hit? Ouch. Read More >>
