You make some really great points. I personally think Apple is
going too far with the secrecy about their new products. Case in
point, the new iPhone. One gets lost in a bar by a drunk employee,
and the person who finds it tries to return it. Apple won't take it
because they don't believe him, so he sells it to Jason Chen, and
they're in hysterics about it and are charging him with a felony. I
personally find it ridiculous. Thanks for the read!

I don't think it's a stretch at all. I own a 2nd-gen 10GB iPod and
it works fine...I have only ever personally owned mac
computers...and am an Apple fan. I admit i was skeptical of the
first iPhones after messing with friends phonesm but my blackjack 2
died and when I went to replace it I looked at every other phone in
the AT&T store... I chose the iPhone 3G not just because I
kinda wanted it anyways, but because it is simply a ridiculous
device for $199. The GPS is one of the best features and worth that
price alone. I couldn't ever see myself purchasing a stand-alone
GPS... so its like a bonus. While I don't see justifying spending
the money for an iPhone to be financially educational... I will
say, me being a college student low on funds to begin with... after
getting my iPhone I have since canceled my home high speed
Internet. I use my phone for everything and it has been working
smoothly ever since.

This is a Streeeetch! Is anyone really going to replace their high
speed service for the iPhone? Plus, huge assumptions that I need
any of the items listed. For example, my iPod from several years
ago is working fine so replacing it does not save me money.
Additionally, you fail to compare to other cheaper alternatives or
mention the outrageous monthly charges for the iPhone. If you have
to use your imagination to justify purchases please don't classify
it as "Financial Education."
