Too angry to blog coherently.

I couldn’t agree with you more Adrian. Just picked up mine about 3 weeks ago!

Cam @ ChaosScenerio posted a good question: does Apple punish early adopters?

try not to think about how you could have saved the money and picked up an 8 gb video ipod nano for $150

I also posted about this a week ago. I mistakenly assumed Apple would punish me by innovating not by dropping the price. From their standpoint it’s a smart, market-opening move. On reflection, with a few hours behind me, I now think they’re complete dumb-asses. This is already backfiring.

I’m not thinking about the nano. I’m thinking I could have bought a Zune for $199.

yeah, I think planned obsolescence is becoming more common for Apple and others.

the market didn’t like the latest announcements with the stop dropping about 5% today.

somebody with a spreadsheet probably calculated that in order to get the adoption and market penetration they wanted, maybe to live up to the goal established with AT&T, the new price for the 8 gb model would need to be $399.

Designer next to me just got a $100 rebate in his inbox for buying iPhone when it came out.

But this is great for us laggards!

Nah-nah. :)
