So I am sure everyone heard about the new 3G iPhone announced yesterday. Yada yada yada no need for a post about that, I think the real question that no one is addressing is when is the price of the Touch going to go down.
The new iPhone costs 199 for the 8GB and 299 for the 16GB, while the Touch costs 299 for the 8GB and 399 for the 16GB. Is this a discount on the iPhone like with normal phones on a new contract?
Regardless it seems backwards to me that the iPhone costs less than the Touch eventhough it’s just a dumbed down version.
Long story short I want an iPod Touch and I am whiney.

RANT WARNING
First i apologize for the bad heading but I am not too happy with our good friends apple. I have been a big fan of apple for a while, but lately geeze you guys need to calm down.
Fist apple is suing New York city for using an apple in its logo. Are you frakin’ serious? How long has New York been the big apple?? Well I don’t know and I am too lazy to look it up, but I am going to say longer than Steve Jobs has even been alive. This is just as bad as the recent T-Mobile suing Engadget Mobile for using a similar shade of purple in their logo.
Now you want to piss me off more?? I do not want SAFARI!! If i wanted it I would have downloaded it myself. I thought about it, I really did, but now that its in every software update that apple pushes out I’m not going to download it. A software update is to, get this, update software. If i don’t have it, then there is nothing to update. Don’t take advantage of the fact that everyone has iTunes and doesn’t notice what they are downloading. Thats an unacceptable line to cross.
Oh also whats the point of a $16,000 laptop that doesn’t have a cd or dvd-drive or a sleek touch screen phone without 3G.
Apple, this is your warning.
(NOTE: This is an empty threat, I wouldn’t even hit a child, but then again thats probably because most children are tougher than I am.)
