September 5th, 2007 at 8:35 pmCam @ 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

September 5th, 2007 at 9:07 pmI 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.

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.
