Apple Fans Upset

Remember all those apple fan boys lining up for the new iPhone? Well, now they are all upset.
The loyal Apple customers who purchased the iPhone at its
initial release, waited in lines for hours and paid a premium
price, feel taken advantage of. I feel that I should be reimbursed
for the $200 more that I paid for my iPhone, or be given a free
upgrade to an 8 GB model.
Say what you will about the folly of early adoption — we’ve got a few who willingly paid the “stupid tax” within our ranks. But a drop of $200 after just 66 days means that the iPhone decreased roughly $3.03 a day in retail value between launch and yesterday’s announcement.
Anyone thinking, crybaby? I say, tough. This is life in the technology world. If you want to be on the cutting edge, expect to pay dearly for it, and don’t be upset when the price drops the next week. 
I agree. I am too cheap to buy expensive new gadgets. Maybe someday wowio.com will give away iPhones!
Well, at least Apple is being nice and giving back $100 in credit.
