You really have to admire Steve Jobs. Whether you like him and his style or not, you can only admit the guy’s got one massive pair of cojones:

• Real version: iPhone open letter
• Fake version: Happy now, bitches?

Do you know how many CEOs dream of writing something like that (either version)? Both of the above pretty much say the same and the official one is just as gutsy from a market’s perspective.

Arrogant? Probably. Right on target? I think so.

Being an early adopter has its ups and downs, and seeing a dramatic price reduction a couple of months after the initial release is one of the latter. Although usually, the rest of the industry holds for as long as they can, when sales start going down, to lower their prices. Just look at the new Motorola RAZR2 being released at US$599. You know it’ll be free with activation in 3-6 months from now.

Sir, I salute you. Now if you could just personally come and manhandle our Canadian telco executives to sell the darn thing here, and I’d be all set.

Although, maybe the wait will be worth it?

Update: maybe I’m on to something with the above HSDPA wet dream… See here.
