Details, details...you fucking Aries like those, don't you?
I guess I'm talking more perception vs. reception: with the former driving the stock price up and my prediction that the latter will drive the stock price down. I mean,
we, the people that actually follow this shit, barely know what the final costs will be for a full contract. You can bet your balls that once the press gets a grasp on that they will
not be kind...and the general populace will
not respond favorably to such headlines as
"iPhone home: send money!".
I guess I could have been a little clearer with the "ripoff" comment, and for that I apologize. I wasn't talking about the device per se, I was more channeling the reaction once this is actually on the market and all costs are factored in.
