“Apple Inc., after cutting the price of the iPhone by $200, started offering $100 in credit to early buyers and said they can use it to purchase iTunes gift cards,” Connie Guglielmo reports for Bloomberg.
“Apple’s Web site says the credit isn’t good for iTunes gift cards but the page is incorrect and is being revised, spokeswoman Natalie Kerris said,” Guglielmo reports.

That makes more sense as Apple Stores do sell iTunes gift cards and excluding them would have been questionable.
makes sense to me, although I saving mine for leopard
yes…
Waiting for Leopard
No, bought Logic Studio instead
Now they tell me.
No kidding. The “journalist” who said otherwise was on a witch hunt.
I am saving mine for Leopard as well…seems like a theme with the early iPhone owners.
Good call on Leopard!!
> Leopard… seems like a theme with the early iPhone owners.
As long as they use a Mac. The majority of iPhone customers, like iPod customers, (still) use Windows. Let’s hope THEY use it to buy an iMac or MacBook.
I bought an AppleTV with mine.
Can I get the Best of John Tesh, Spiral Staircase, Loverboy and Neil Sedaka for $100? That would be a score.
New apple wireless keyboard coming my way!!
Ken
Neil Sedaka…!?
Ok Twisted, you’ve crossed the line now!
What’s the deal, Apple? Make the smart choice first!
@thelt
Who are you kidding, then?
The journalist who reported this based it on facts as they at the moment were, no more no less. That’s good reporting. And initially, MDN and a big part of it’s following got it wrong. They were the ones on a witchhunt, in classic lynching mob style. That’s bad.
Because of the reporting, Apple said it was an error on their behalf – if it indeed was an error – and now have changed/corrected it. That’s the benefit of good reporting.
Lately, there seems to be a lot that Apple initially “forgets” – $100 iPhone rebate, iMovie6 HD, iTunes gift option – and makes one wonder wether Apple is becoming dementic or wether they are testing how far they can push the envelope. Good reporting is an important counterweight to both of these possibilities. So Kudo to Connie for good journalism on this particular topic.
I know that with the growth of Apple market share, the old days of a more enlightened, rational and erudite Apple crowd are gone, but if the likes of you, and the personal attack style MDN-takes of late – are what is coming to the Mac-world, then God help us all.
LOL, so now this makes sense?
Where’s all that bullshit from yesterday:
“Oh, it’s to be expected, the iTunes store and Apple store are two entirely different entities.”
“Oh well of course, the iTunes store and Apple store have two completely different systems of accounting.”
So quick to jump out there with excuses.
Hey! Neil Sedaka was a man ahead of his time.
‘Next Door to an Angel’.
‘Breaking Up Is Hard to Do’.
Who could forget, ‘Oh Carol!’
What about, “Calendar Girl’.
Remember, “Laughter in the Rain’?
And that classic, ‘Happy Birthday Sweet Sixteen’.

Another K-Tel quality product.
I’m with the first two, waiting for Leopard
LIEZ!
I just returned from the Apple Store and they told me that MDN is not an Apple web site, and therefore doesn’t speak for them.
Must be one of those “rumors”.
“Ok Twisted, you’ve crossed the line now!”
I sure hope so.
But I can’t find Leonard Nimoy Sings the Blues? So sexy.
Picked up the Jawbone headset with my $100
