Early adopters miss out

The cost of the (is it 8GB?) iPhone has dropped dramatically - by $US200 - within a couple of months of release, leaving early adopters out of sorts and out of pocket. But it appears that Steve Jobs is coming to the party - with a $100 store credit on offer for those who paid full price for their iPhone. Which raises the question - is early adoption of any technology worth $100 (the difference) for two months. Well, the only answer is YES ... unless it's a couple of Palm products I've had which didn't quite live up to my expectations. And speaking of Palm products, their Foleo - a laptop of sorts which would be totally compatible and synchronisable with Palm applications - has been pulled from the product line-up before it started shipping. Ah well, at least it saves me having to decide whether to get one (early or otherwise).
