No ****, was thinking the exact same thing. I've not even had it for two months. I understand price drops, but *that* is ridiculous.

iPod Photo
Don't ANY of you remember the "iPod Photo?"
Anyone?
Who is surprised by this news? It's pretty much the same story again. You all made fun of those who said "Fanboy Tax." Heck, we were just being realistic. Don't complain now!

For practical purposes, it's the service contract that makes the difference, not the purchase price.
They made everyone happy except for those who already bought an iPhone.. I get my iPod Classic with 160GB. Music lovers who have huge collections are happy now.
You all should be happy with your widescreen tochy iPod. Enjoy it!

Why is everyone so upset....did you not think they would drop the price???? Did you think they would keep the price the same forever....get over it....you knew you were paying a premium for being the early switchers...
I'm ticked. I spent $200 more for the same product in June, now it is $399! My friend just bought an iPhone 8 GB for the full price, they should give those customers some sort of reimbursement or iTunes credit.
No they should not go wild giving everyone who adopted early credit or refunds. Everyone who bought one already got to use an iPhone for two months. Everyone saw this price drop coming at one point or another...
People, I feel your pain. But this is the world of high-tech. It's ever been thus, even if this is somewhat of an extreme case. As for those of us who were waiting for 2nd gen, this may push us over the edge. Come January I'm sure I'll regret it, but it will be a sweet four months in the meantime.
A $200 price drop after only 2 months from launch is unfair to Apple's original iPhone customers. Either Apple is panicking that iPhone sales haven't been up to expectations, OR Apple was overcharging for the phone 2 months ago at launch.
Apple needs to do something for its original customers to avoid very very bad blood.

Ok sorry I really do feel bad for everyone that paid that much. But this is almost too funny. Luckily I'm not one of them. Apple has never screwed over their early adopters like this before, very strange. I'd be pretty POd right now too.
Seriously though, they should have at least offered a $50 iTunes gift card to all current iphone owners or something to calm down the uproar. This is going to get them some bad press.
Still no 3rd party software support on any of this? Still a joke then I think.

they offered a $200 Apple Store credit when they dropped the price of Aperture from $500 to $300.
I bet they do the same now. Although, it will cost them about 200 million dollars.

We all expected it, but not after only 60 days.
They did this with Aperture (from $500 to $300) as well, but they offered store credit for the difference. They better do that here as well.
Zing.....
For a product less than 2 months old, this amounts to a swift kick in the nuts. For me, 200$ is a significant amount of money.
I am speechless. Really poor on Apple's part. It will no doubt piss off the very loyal fan base who helped them sell 1 million phones - I hope they consider that.
