Mac Rumors states that a $100 price drop on the iPhone and iPod touch is likely within the next two months. This would also discontinue the 8GB touch and the 8GB iPhone.
As some of you readers may remember, there was a lot of whining about the last price drop, on September 5, 2007.
A lot of the time it seems like Armeggadon when Apple drops prices. There are always crybabies who get pissed off because they bought a product right before the price drop.
Seriously, guys, just deal with it. At some point, someone will buy a product right before it is improved/made cheaper. The natural human instinct is to WHINE!!! However, please, don't whine about it on teh tubez. It doesn't make anything better. In fact, the $100 of store credit that Apple offered is overkill. Don't get me wrong, it's very nice of Apple to offer compensation to people, but it's really not necessary. Apple, in the field of consumer electronics, tends to release products first aimed at fanboys and people who will pay almost any price. Four months later it's released for sane people.
So, Apple, bring on the price drops. I won't whine, I promise. Internet, I advise you to do the same.

Sigh, your completely right about the people overreacting to the price drops. but Its is a whole $100 that is a lot of money just to drop kinda randomly. So you have to think of all the poor people who spent there life savings on iDay.
Well, it is kinda not mean of Apple to do anything. Tech drops in price, products drop in price.
