Asia is pretty cheap, Europe is expensive, but US is very cheap when it comes to tech. Why so cheap?

Could you give some examples? Tech is a broad term.

I'm talking about mobile devices here, but also computers.

But lets take a look at Google Nexus 4 an example since that is a new device.

That's because the rest of the world pays its bills while the US chooses to live in a debt bubble indefinitely...

Isn't the Nexus 4 subsidized by Google to help (a struggling Android device manufacturer) LG?

If the price is almost double or at least 1/3 more expensive in Europe. wouldn't that make the competition much harder with several more operators and vendors?
