I have received hundreds of emails from iPhone customers who are upset about Apple dropping the price of iPhone by $200 two months after it went on sale. After reading every one of these emails, I have some observations and conclusions…
…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.
We want to do the right thing for our valued iPhone customers. We apologize for disappointing some of you, and we are doing our best to live up to your high expectations of Apple.

There’s word out that if you bought your iPhone with an American Express card, you’ll get the total price difference plus tax (around $210) back. I should probably try that soon…
For the full letter, go here
…and I’m ready to go. Packing didn’t take that long, especially since I just picked out my clothes and my loving mother put everything together for me. Which reminds me…next semester marks a turning point in my life: I’m finally doing my own laundry. I went through freshman year with one of those laundry service things, but this year I thought I’d take the plunge and do it myself. I know, I’m a spoiled brat. Fuck you.
The 11 hours of driving to Atlanta won’t be so enjoyable tomorrow. But 11 hours is nothing compared to the absolute freedom I’ll have being able to drive my own car at school. Maybe I won’t run into crack-whores at 2am at the grocery store asking to screw me for money now that I can do my grocery shopping at reasonable hours (I used to do it while sober driving for the brothers.)
Btw, new iPod nanos. I’ll let you in on a little secret….they’re really hideous
So i gave up my $500 Palm Treo to switch over to AT&T for this:
Sexy, isn’t it? iPhone comes out Friday, needed a temporary phone. It’ll do. Go to my facebook profile for my new #.
This would be the third iPod in my arsenal…but the orange just looks too good to not be bought
Well, Steve Jobs has done it again with the iPhone. He teased everyone at the beginning by saying that Apple would be releasing a new touch-widescreen video iPod, a phone, and an internet device. But instead of releasing three different products, they were all integrated into the new iPhone. Although I was disappointed by the lack of a new true iPod, I couldn’t be all that disappointed since the iPhone is an amazing and good-looking phone. Apple also showed off its new Apple TV (a video / music streaming device, like an Airport Express) and the Airport Extreme, the updated wireless router that handles draft-N speeds. Most of you probably don’t understand what that means…so just think fast.
So the price of the iPhone is $599 for an 8GB iPhone and $499 for a 4GB one (each with 2 year activation). It runs Mac OS X, using Safari to go on the internet and iCal for calendar stuff. And…it’s exclusive to Cingular. Shit. I just transferred to Verizon last summer to get the Treo 700p. And I signed up for a 2 year contract with them at the time. Well, I figured since the iPhone won’t be released until June, I could wait a year, no problem. Turns out my mom wants my account with Verizon so she can talk to my dad for free (since he’s on Verizon) and I can take her account on Cingular. I didn’t even ask her to get an iPhone and she already planned it out for me, amazing. So it looks like I may be switching phone numbers again in June…sorry about that.
Anyways, if you want to see more pics of the iPhone, check it out at Apple.com
