Rotten Apple?

If you were one of the early iPhone adopters, you probably feel like these people after hearing the announcement of the $200 price cut.

What was Apple thinking?

Hundreds of thousands of people gladly shelled out $600 for the iPhones when they first arrived. They camped in line in front of Apple stores! The product was met with rave reviews. Customers absolutely believed they were getting value for their money.

Until Apple convinced them otherwise, with yesterday's announcement.

I could understand a SMALL price drop - or perhaps even some sort of pre-Christmas sale. But to chop the price by $200 within 66 days of launch? That thing is depreciating faster than my Ford Focus!

Makes one wonder how long the lines will be for the next new Apple product?

Step right up..... please?
