Honestly im not surprised by the reaction that iphone users are having. Ive always been a patient person, and i am totally waiting for the price of iphone to fall before i buy it. So think about it, all the people who bought an iphone were
a) really excited and desperate to have one
b) extremely impatient
c) rich and stuck up
So as i see it, the reaction by the current owners of iphones is totally expected. Im sure all of them see fit to demand amazing and quick service. They dont understand complications, they just want to be able to do what they want.
I think its a great idea that people are trying to find new ways to power their cars, and heck if using hydrogen would work and it would be cheap, I'm all up for it. Seriously who right now is not angry with the amount of money we spend on gas. With $2.80 for the equivalent of a gallon, i think a lot of people would actually be happy The problem though would come with moving from gasoline powered cars to hydrogen. I believe that the oil industry would try as hard as possible to prevent it from happening, and how many car companies out there would actually take the risk of try a new technology which could quite possible not last. I think its a great idea, but it's still going to be a very long time before any new form of power replaces oil.
I agree with everyone out there that paying more money for a single song would be ridiculous, especially since there are other sources of songs out there on the internet. If itunes would raise their prices too much, other programs online like rhapsody would definitely gain much more popularity. Which in the end would cause apple and everyone associated with them to lose money.
I do not agree with the idea of differences in prices of new and old songs. More often recently, adults have started to find out about and purchase an ipod and then want to get their old popular songs. Sometimes great oldies are much more purchased than new songs.
