iCaveat

In case you've been in a cave somewhere, you have probably heard that Apple slashed the price of it's 8gig iPhone from $599 to $399, and slashed the 4gig model all together.

Needless to say*, early iPhone buyers (codenamed The Goobers in a secret Apple memo) are justifiably ticked. In response, Steve Jobs issued this masterful letter feigning mild surprise and offering a loving compromise.

Does any thinking person believe for one second that this was a spontaneous move of good will? I promise you this letter was written long before they whacked the price. It's a premeditated, genius show of customer service...but it was all part of the plan.

Steve Jobs, we love you for your P.T. Barnum spirit.
