iPhone: Apple Responds to Price-Cut Backlash

Steve Jobs open letter attempts to pacify angry buyers and early adopters:

“There is always someone who bought a product before a particular cutoff date and misses the new price or the new operating system or the new whatever. This is life in the technology lane,” Jobs wrote.

    While I can understand the disgruntlement of the early birds, I agree with Jobs. With the rapidly decreasing time span between cutting edge and obsolescence in almost all areas of technology, I can’t help but think the new badge of honor amongst the techno crowd will soon transition from “I got it first” to “I got it cheapest”. I see an iLeasing industry popping up from this…..
