Crazy spending
From the BBC:
The price of the iPhone with eight gigabytes of storage is being cut by $200 to $399. The four-gigabyte model is being dropped.
So the iPhone (8Gb model) was $600… what is so great about an MP3 player/cell phone/web browser that so many people were willing to shell out so much for it? There are, after all, so many more interesting and cost effective things you could do with $600. I wonder if the iPhone will eventually drift the way of the Palm. God I hope so; there’s something decadent and reeking of hubris about a cell phone that costs as much as a desktop PC.
