Apple’s iPod Touch is one of the world’s most recognisable portable devices and is sold in over 30 countries.

So we decided to run the Techlogg.com international price check on the popular third-generation iPod Touch 32GB model to find out which country had the cheapest price.

We gathered prices from Apple store sites in each of those countries.

Now there may well be some issues with regards to local taxes, for example, US prices are without tax while Australian prices include 10% GST. But what’s undeniable is the huge spread in pricing around the world.

And here’s what we found:
