Read this and laugh hysterically. I know I did, and I haven't even got an iPhone yet.

It’s a good start, but I’ll stick with my new position of never buying an Apple product out of the gate. I do commend Jobs (or his attorney speech writers) for the open letter to the real iPhone customers. It is a strong business practice to listen to your customers and to respond appropriately.

Early adopters are why you, the 90%, even get cooler/better/faster technology. So don’t ever complaign when we complaign. We deserve that for financing your future purchases.

There will ALWAYS be a new version around the corner… but personally speaking, I try and avoid being an early adopter whenever I can resist the temptation. Price drops, critical improvements, etc are all reasons to wait for the second generation of a given product. Not that this is something you didn’t know already, but you never read about the 90% (I made that # up) of people that are thinking the same thing… hold out for version 1.1 or even version2. When it comes to tech, you just read about that 10% of early adopters who are very excited. And I’m glad their excited and I’m glad they’re writing blogs about what they would change and what they like/dislike about the product. It’s like a big huge public beta testing. And all for me.

(my last sentence made no sense — what I wanted say was “Yeah, I didn’t buy one, so I’m not upset — but if I had bought one, I’d be peeved, but it was my choice to spend $600”)

Price drops happen, this one seemed soon, but I don’t think its the end of the world or any reason to hate Apple (and go with the alternative). I don’t think there’s any rule for “you must wait 6 months to drop prices”. Yeah, I didn’t buy one, so I’m not upset, and I’d probably be peeved, but then again, if I had, it was my choice to spend $600, blame Apple or blame yourself?

That’s terrible! That happened to us when I bought Nate the PS2. It dropped a hundred bucks six days after we bought it. We went back to see if we could get a refund and they said they would have if it were within five days of the purchase. We were 12 hours too late and a bit fumed.

Another one bites the dust.

No, it wasn’t. I wish it was.

But wasn’t it worth $200 to be one of the kewl kids for a couple months?
