New iPods, lower iPhone prices -- don't you feel foolish?
Well, this is the painful part of being an early adopter, or "heat seeker."
New iPods -- more features for less than you paid for your old one.
Same iPhone for $200 less than you paid for it when it came out.
I know people who buy things as soon as they're available do so because they can't help themselves, because they love the thrill of having something first, because they don't WANT to wait for the better, cheaper model that will be coming along right around the time the warranty on their model expires. I've certainly done it myself. But man...if I'd bought one of the last wave of video iPods right when they came out or (especially) an iPhone I think I'd feel like something of a sucker.
