images/news/apple.jpgSteve Jobs slapped all the suckers who bought an iPhone the last two months with the announcement that the 8GB iPhone is now immediately available for US$399 (versus the US$599 price it was yesterday).

note to self... Don't buy Apple Products until a year after its release

Sorry, people people are dumb that think this!! Technology gets cheaper every single day!! If you went by this type of theory you would never buy a single peice of technology ever again! If you can afford it and want it go buy it! People that are early adopters of technology expect to pay higher prices and shouldn't be ticked off when the price gets lowered later on.

Yes, things get cheaper due to the laws of economics, like supply and demand and all that good stuff. But a 33% price drop in just two months? I would definitely be pissed about that.

BTW, the 4GB version is now $299 while supplies last. They're phasing it out like Sony did with the 20GB and then the 60GB PS3s.

Exactly. I work hard for my money, and try to purchase items that have already dropped in price. I also would be pissed if i lost 200.00 in just 2 months
