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.

So it goes.
