iPhone credit!

The iPhone is a revolutionary product. Agreed! But, Steve Jobs just made me and all the other buyers(or early adopters) look stupid by announcing a price cut. When was the last time you heard about the price of apple products going doing two monts or even six months after the release? Never. That probably was part of the reason why many apple fan boys were furious. I was furious too, but well that’s how electronics are and before I could feel bad Mr.Jobs announced a $100 credit. This probably was the first time someone has done something like this, announce a price cut and give credit to all those who bought the product before the credit. I cannot think of any other software company doing this(Apple though into hardware still looks at itself as a software company), at the same time, I do not think any other software company will announce a price cut on its much hyped product within the first 2-3 months.

Steve Jobs managed to retain all the fanboys and Apple enthusiasts, but still a credit in the iTunes store would have been wonderful. Since it is good only at the apple store(online too) and must be redeemed by the end of November, it probably is time to look at Apple TV or may be Leopard upgrade for existing Mac users.
