A friend of mine is in the states at the moment and can buy this for about $250 but I'm heading to Australia in a few weeks stopping in Singapore and wondering could I get this model for cheaper or maybe could get a better model?
The exchange rate for the Australian dollar is fairly good at the moment so you might get a deal, why don't you try a few Australian price comparison sites i.e. http://www.shopbot.com.au/ and compare the prices to those in the US
