Well, Steve, even Ellen Degeneris gave one young iPhone owner in her audience $200 because she felt so bad for the young lady who had been “taken.” Step up to the plate, Mr. Jobs, and return $200 to your, at least previously, devoted audience. Especially since you are only offeing Apple credit, $200 seems like the appropriate compensation, not the mere $100 credit. All the credit is going into your “pocket” anyway.

You people should all just get Nokia N70, it’s way better than iPhone!

i think it’s ridiculus that he already dropped the price on the iphone, i know, nobody twisted my arm to be one of the first to get one, the usual time frame of price dropping something new is from 6mos to 1yr! So in a way he more or less punished his loyal fans by taking $200 away from us, all of us who gave him his millions, just to throw it in our faces and drop the price within 2mos. What BS is that??? I think we should definitely be getting the $200 in a apple credit instead of the $100.

True. But I think the problem is that usually the price drop in tech gadgets is connected to new technology, new models coming out… this time its just like that, out of the blue.

I would say, OK now you have 16Gb iPhone that costs 600$ and sure, the 8Gb can be 400$…

I think it will help. It is not about the price it is about the prestige. This is why people line up and buy it on the first day. Steve just slapped them in the face. People buy this kind of stuff because of the “it” factor. This in a sense is devaluing the “it” factor. That is what hurts.
