Apple Releases New iPods

Yep, price drop is one reason to wait. Glitch fix is another.

Early adoptors are nimrods. They are indicating their I'm So Frelling Rich status by buying new toys as soon as they are introduced. Complaints fall on deaf ears.




Of course, Apple stock took quite a dive when the price cuts were announced. Job's assertions that it was a Christmas Marketing Strategy fell on deaf Wall Street ears.

Sales of the iPhone are sucking, and there's no two ways about it.



Surprisingly (to me), I hear no complaints about the screen being unreadable in daylight or skin oils being a problem from any of the people I know who own one. But I recall reading lots of complaints about AT&T and the primitive internet functionality.


It seems Apple did its part with futurificness, and their partner was behind-the-times.

Except that AT&T was the only provider willing to shell out the cash to put the technology in place to support arguably the coolest feature of the iPhone, visual voice mail. So "behind-the-times" kinda depends on your perspective.

After a strong surge on Apple Stock over the last few weeks, there was relatively small adjustment over the last two days.

Yep - Wall Street really doesn't like Apple
