I speak and Apple listens

"Steve", I said. "The iPhone is just too damn expensive for what it does. Can't you do something about it?" (see "Just What Nobody Wanted #1").

Well, it turns out that Steve listens to Nobody after all, as he's just slashed the price of the 8GB model from $599 to $399. That's quite a drop.

Nice one Steve.

Don't forget who your friends are when you release it in the UK will you?

Just what nobody wanted #1

The iPhone. Over-priced, over-hyped, and come Christmas, over here.

Here being the UK of course.

I've yet to be impressed with the iPhone. Maybe someone can clue me in as to what exactly is so good about it. As far as I can see it's a phone that plays MP3s and videos and. . . .

and . . . .

Oh yes! You can browse the web! Slowly!

Looks nice though, doesn't it?

You see, my phone already does all that (and browses the web a damn site faster). So, other than the pose factor (and the larger screen), why should this nobody want one?

Any ideas?
