Apple is opposed to Swiss taxation on iPod

Apple these days is committed to enforcing its own reasons against SUISA, the equivalent of oltralpe of our SIAE, which so far has imposed what constitutes, in our own house, the well known and controversial fair compensation.

The Swiss legislation would affect, in practice, all devices musical based on solid-state memories sold on Swiss soil. The contribution would then be required will vary depending on the capacity of the object in question.

A Cupertino would like to put an end to the issue, given that the scenario increases the price of iPods would certificate on values from 42 to 153 Swiss francs (between 25 and 90 €). Apple has made it known that he never downloaded these costs on their customers. However, the Mela is trying to be exempt from this duty, at least on sales completed on the online store.
The strategy of Cupertino is to understand the Swiss authorities that the products of the store are purchased, in fact, in Ireland and, from there, transported in the homes of their customers.

By ‘introduction of iPhone on Swiss territory, in Cupertino are probably concerned that the smartphone is classified as a player and, as such, end up having to load annoying extras.

Unlike the other phones, in fact, iPhone is also an iPod and as such inevitably ends up being synchronized very often. It ‘easy to take advantage of these frangenti to wrest some photos to the device and put it online, perhaps with the help of applications such as the excellent MegaPhone.

But there is another part of truth, perhaps even more substantial. Thanks to software as unofficial Installer.app you can install excellent native applications - for most free - able to run automatically upload to Flickr directly from your iPhone, exploiting the connection to the Internet. Thus, it is false to say that a not inconsiderable part of the primacy of iPhone on that platform comes precisely from its enormous potential and this despite the not-art technological equipment.

Oggettivamente, the camera is only 2 Megapixel - against 5 Megapixel Nokia N95 hour scalzato in second place - and suffers a little ‘in low light conditions. But perhaps Apple is right: at least for a slice of audience, the experience of use as a whole is infinitely more important than a list of numbers and technical specifications set out on paper.
