procedure more intuitive and more responsive. Users have better control
over what gets backed up, and are provided with detailed information about

iPhone Price Drop: Open Letter from Steve Jobs
From http://www.apple.com/hotnews/openiphoneletter/
To all iPhone customers:
I have received hundreds of emails from iPhone customers who are upset
about Apple dropping the price of iPhone by $200 two months after it went
on sale. After reading every one of these emails, I have some observations
and conclusions.
First, I am sure that we are making the correct decision to lower the price
of the 8GB iPhone from $599 to $399, and that now is the right time to do
it. iPhone is a breakthrough product, and we have the chance to 'go for it'
this holiday season. iPhone is so far ahead of the competition, and now it
will be affordable by even more customers. It benefits both Apple and every
iPhone user to get as many new customers as possible in the iPhone 'tent'.
We strongly believe the $399 price will help us do just that this holiday
season.
Second, being in technology for 30+ years I can attest to the fact that the
technology road is bumpy. There is always change and improvement, and there...
