"Shredding the instruction book for the shredder. Talk about your mind blowing irony."

Can I whine about the iPhone price drop? I mean I bought it the first day. I bought into the hype. Steve Jobs owes me. He OWES me $200!

Bullocks!

I knew buying an iPhone then meant getting stuck with a 1.0 release. Being first when getting some kind of tech gadget means that you'll be bummed out when the 2.0 comes out.

And it will come out.

It won't be in the form of an 16 GB iPhone. That'll come this Christmas.

But iPhone 2.0 will be sleeker, cooler, sexier. It will be more powerful. It will have a longer battery life. It will be available for other carriers. It will have cooler applications. It will be another thing to drool over. It will cost cheaper for the amount of features it has. It may still cost $600 but will certainly be worth it.

It's coming. You'll want to buy it. You'll buy it.

And then Apple will pull the rug from under you, drop the price, and bring out iPhone 3.0. Let the whining begin again.

Your right it's definitely not worth whining about. So many people are frustrated, but come on, it was expected. All friggen first gens drop in price. Especially in the electronics department. My crappy 2001 g3 600 MHz was $1695 because of the cd burning capabilities. I remember it was between that and the Vaio. The Vaio was awesomely dinky. But then I saw iMovie, iPhoto and FCP. Ciao Vaio. Of course with in 8 months they dropped the price of the g3 ibook by $200 and upped the speed. But my 600 mhz did it's duty. In fact it held on till recently. It was SLOOOOW and crashed every once and a blue moon. The next gen g3's were still unreliable much like mine. Apple REALLY messed up with those G3's. It seemed they were only concentrating on the Powerbooks. Thank God they switched gears and cleaned up their act. Makes you wonder what would have happened if the iPod bombed.

Now you have a tiny portable that has a decent amount of features for $600 bucks. There's barely any problems. I'm sure it'll last long. Especially with updates and servicing. Until they make the new version into a tiny portable desktop in which good-bye 1rst Gen iPhone.

But for people who bought it 15 days ago... eesh. That sucks. But how does a company deal with that? Do they pull the item off the shelf for a week? I mean it is a weird weird dilemma.
