Early iPhone buyers get $100 credit

It's been an up-and-down kind of Summer for iPhone owners. The ups include being early adopters of one of the coolest smartphones ever. The downs include curiously fragile screens, 200-page billing statements, and Apple announcing a serious price ($200) cut less than three months after the introduction. Apple can't do much about phone book-sized bills, but they do feel your pain on the price cut, and have announced a $100 credit available for existing iPhone owners at Apple stores. It might not have been necessary, but it is going a long way toward helping Apple fans feel that the company really is something special.
