[FRIAM] Does this include you, Owen?

Folks,

  The really interesting part of this situation is Apple's stock
performance since Tuesday.  I think that drove the refund as much as the
complaints on user forums.

  Or, perhaps, the stock price drop is investors fearing that the real
reason for the iPhone price drop is slow sales.  If so, they're not
going to resolve that with a price drop - they might get somewhere by
getting out of the exclusive AT&T contract.  I wonder if Apple had
counted on the hacker community opening up the iPhone for use on T-Mobile?

  Their PPPP for the new iPod release may also have helped to drive the
stock down by 13 points (from 145) in two days.
