I know early adopting can be painful, but $200 in a little over a month?
Ouch.

Why angry? all new toys always started at higher price then dropped
price over time. Why I remember waaaaay back in 1977 when a new Atari
system was $300, and was selling new for $50 during the fun is back in
the late 80's.

And you're equating this to a 30% drop in 10 weeks? 30% in 10 weeks is huge
even in the cell phone market. It's simple demand vs. production. Obviously,
more demand was anticipated than actually appeared. Either way, your reply
made me chuckle.:)
