Whiners complain about iPhone price cut

Some early adopters of the iPhone are complaining about the price cut, from $599 to $399 for the 8-gigabyte model. While there are those who believe that paying for a premium price came with the territory, other said they felt burned. Some say the price reduction came too soon.

Stop it! Everytime a new gadget comes out, the price is high and eventually it will come down. As such, I think the window between introduction and the first price-cut is getting narrower. Already, Apple is releasing another next-generation iPod (called iTouch) which comes with Wi-Fi.

So yes, you can boast you got the first iPod or iPhone, or Chocolate in the neighborhood, but such things will soon be in the past.

The bigger issue the rebate fiasco uncovered: Apple's customer base is changed now and they flew too quickly into a price competition mode. It is a turning point in the company's history.
