Apple is going to beat all competitors

[David "Lefty" Schlesinger]

> Anyone saw new Apple announcement? Now iPhone is priced at $399..

...an act which has certainly pissed off all the folks who got suckered
into standing in lines for days and paying through the nose to be the
first kid on the block with one. This will not incent future potential
buyers to get, for example, an "iPod Touch" right away, as opposed to
waiting a few months to see what the price drop will be. Not a good
strategic move.

Beyond that, a price drop of 33% on a product scarcely two months old
strongly suggests that iPhones are not exactly flying off the shelves
now that the initial reaction has died down...
