Nah. Caveat #2 is to wait for the second iteration of any Apple product.

And everyone who bought an HDTV six months should feel bad that they same models now cost hundreds of dollars less? Or that any electronics manufacturer never offered jack to those who took an early leap before?

Look its not called “the bleeding edge” for nothing. And you gotta admire the fact that El Jobso & co. stepped up and faced the music at all.

I for one, am still waiting for my compensation for having been an early purchaser of Microsoft’s “Bob”…

talk about smugness… my son actually said he didn’t want the $100 back.

after i thought about it for a minute he might just have saved me an additional $200 because we’d have gone into the apple store with $100 store credit, plunked down an additional $200 and walked out with an itouch.

Engadget’s survey put it best with the choice of “$200 a small price to pay for two months of smugness.” Hey, get over it. They don’t call it the “bleeding edge” for nothing. I just wish they’d find a way to put a freakin’ task-manager on the dang thing. Do that and they can KEEP the $100.

A $100 credit that can only be spent at the Apple store is hardly equivalent to walking into an AT&T store today, a mere two months after launch, and plunking down only $399 for an 8GB iPhone. Despite all the hype, it would appear sales of the iPhone haven’t met Apple’s projections, or else Jobs and company wouldn’t have risked the backlash they surely knew was coming.

Buyers getting something back, now. Story changed. Please apologize to Mr. Jobs via hand-penned snail mail letter on nice stationary.
