Changing the rules


Remember when you were on the playground as a kid. It never seemed to fail, there was always one kid that changed the rules when they weren't winning.

You could never win. The rules kept changing.

So what happens when Apple decides that they priced the iPhone too high?

They changed the rules. They said--now its $399.

But wait. What about all of those early adopters that spent $599, not but a few months ago?

Did they just get trumped by the big machine? I think Apple was right in changing the price. $599 was high, but I don't they were right in their timing. Apple was the company that taught us $349 was the right price for music in our pocket. They were also the same company that said you should get what you pay for. So-- to have the internet, phone, ipod, YouTube, etc. in your pocket will cost you.

They just did the price decrease too soon.
