I know this is old news but I am a little slow where numbers are concerned. Someone please explain to me how offering early adopters of the iPhone a 100 dollar
selected Apple merchandise credit takes the sting out of paying 200 dollars more for the thing. It does however keep Apple in the news and now people can I suppose trade that credit toward the
purchase of a new iPod. Apple certainly likes toying with their customers but
apparently they don't mind all that much.
