Apple shafts it's customers again.
It's not the first time it's happened, but it's certainly very visible this time. Apple computer today slashed a whopping $200 off it's craptastic iphone. This is the reward you get for supporting a company built entirely off of the masochism of it's customers. They know who will be the first to line up, it's the faithful mac-addicts that desperately want to define their identity by their computer brand. Don't worry fanboys, papa Apple is always there to take your money.

I can't really say I blame apple, the thing was WAY overpriced when it came out. Everybody and their brother knew it, and the only people that bought it were those with more money than sense. $400 is still about $300 too much, but it's a clear signal that they haven't been selling as well as predicted. This could possibly be due to the fact that it's a fundamentally flawed concept of a design. Steve Jobs might not like buttons, but they serve a very important purpose. As evidence, I submit the universal remote control as an example. The industry had gone over to all soft-buttons for quite a while, until people got wise to the fact that it's hard to find the button you're looking for when it keeps moving. I predict the iPhone 2 will have no fewer than 12 hard buttons.

Either way fanboys, you get what you pay for.
