heh, that's the price you pay for early adoption.  Still, don't be surprised if you see me buying a Google phone when it launches next year.

Therefore, we have decided to offer every iPhone customer who purchased an iPhone from either Apple or AT&T, and who is not receiving a rebate or any other consideration, a $100 store credit towards the purchase of any product at an Apple Retail Store or the Apple Online Store. Details are still being worked out and will be posted on Apple's website next week. Stay tuned.

IOW, to make up for the $200 hosing, you get $10 worth of junk (retail priced at $100) for free.

Well, you know how Apple (http://www.marketwatch.com/tools/quotes/intchart.asp?symb=AAPL&time=12&freq=1&comp=&compidx=aaaaa%7E0&compind=&uf=0&ma=&maval=&lf=1&lf2=&lf3=&type=2&size=1&txtstyle=&style=&submitted=true&intflavor=basic&origurl=%2Ftools%2Fquotes%2Fintchart.asp) zealots are.  Thick, every last one of them.  Even guys who bought $12K plasma TVs laugh at Apple (http://www.marketwatch.com/tools/quotes/intchart.asp?symb=AAPL&time=12&freq=1&comp=&compidx=aaaaa%7E0&compind=&uf=0&ma=&maval=&lf=1&lf2=&lf3=&type=2&size=1&txtstyle=&style=&submitted=true&intflavor=basic&origurl=%2Ftools%2Fquotes%2Fintchart.asp) guys.

Steve Jobs:  Let's drop the price 200 bones, and move a *feces*load of these phones by Christmas!

Marketing VIP:  Ok, but that's gonna piss a lot of people off, who already bought them.

Steve Jobs:  Oh, you're right.

Marketing VIP:  I know.  We could offer an apologetic 100 store credit to the rubes who already bought one.

Steve Jobs: And since it's store credit, we not only never really give the money back.....we sell more *feces*!
