[MLUG - DISCUSSION] Apple just dropped the price of the iPhone by $200

["Jonathan King" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

They used to be charging $599 for the 8 GB version, but now they're at
a more realistic $399 for the thing:

They also have a new "iPod Touch" for $299 that's basically an iPhone
without the phone. To be honest, that's pretty cool as well because
it's basically a portable wireless web device that plays music and
lets you share photos. Obviously, the thinking here is that if people
will pay $299 for that, they would leap to pay $100 more for something
that's a cell phone as well...and then they've got you hooked on a
monthly contract.

Naturally, everybody who paid $599 for an iPhone in the past two
months is going to be really, really annoyed. On the other hand,
anybody who wants to buy a smart phone has got to be liking this,
because now you can expect price cuts on everything else on the
market.
