Apple I-Phone .... . Take 2
Apple has lowered the price of it I-phone bt $200.00 less than 10 weeks after it hit the market June 29 for the first time for $500.00, with CEO Steve Jobs apologizing to purchasers but adding, "the technology road is bumpy," and there will always be people who pay top dollar for the latest electronics but get angry later when the price drops. "This is life in the technology lane,"
I don't think he has anything to apologize for, he was just doing what all corporations do or strive to do, that being to take full advantage of the American consumers greed and need for one-upmanship. I think those who waited online to buy the overpriced toy on the first day of sale got what they deserved, instant gratification followed by the big letdown, similar to what a sugary will do for you.
But this being America, who caters to the stupid and greedy, Jobs is offering $100.00 back to these buyers, just as Bush recently announced he was helping to bail out home buyers who purchased homes they couldnt afford, and banks who gave loans to people they knew could afford them.
