Here's an interesting take on the resentment of the iPhone price reduction.

I still am not sure about the Monopoly example. I didn't think the iPhone was a Monopoly. However, it stands to reason as indicated in the past, that Apple's prices will be cut or a replacement product with more features will be offered at the same price later.

So for those folks who feel cheated because of the price reduction: no one forced you to buy the iPhone early. You were overcome by toy lust and you hastily bought a product. If you weren't already upset over the price and costs of ownership, well, you're terrible with money anyway, and couldn't be trusted with the $200 you might have saved anyhow.

Yes, Apple announced the iPhone at last.

Here's a reasonable analysis of the iPhone.

And here's another from Time.

Like the writer above, I probably won't be rushing out to buy one. I've got an SDA and right now, that's doing just fine. Also, there's a matter of Cingular being the provider. Not too pleased with that, though arguably, it does have better signal at home. Oddly, my personal cell performs better at work, whereas my work phone performs better at home. Dammit.

Anyway, the iPhone is dead sexy, and it should work well. I like the notion of a fully functioning browser...one that syncs up with your internet shortcuts on your computer. However, what if you don't use Safari? If that's the case, I may not be too thrilled.

So, I got time. I want more than 8G of storage. If I'm going to spend 600 and switch to cingular, I want a heckuva lot more.
