minutes after first day of sale, Apple received an overwhelming wave of complaints that Itunes needs to host past episodes of "Hee-Haw".

Damnit, when will there be iPhones where you don't have to spend your months wages on just to buy as Pay As You Go? Apple should, by now be able to Mass-Produce and sell these off at a smaller price and of course, without contracts so you don't have to get tied in to paying however much it is in the countries you're from.

I know in the UK they sell iPhones without a contract now on O2, but the price is still pushing £350-400 per iPhone, it's an absolute joke! Which brings me on to my next point...

In the UK it's around £30-40 a month for an iPhone contract, and you have to buy the phone at £99 to start with (for an 8GB model), which of course are on 18 month contracts. So for example, say the contract is £35 a month, that's £630 over 18 months, and then add the £99 which is £729. If a phone is advertised at "Pay £729 for this phone over 18 months" I'm sure many people would laugh and go for a cheaper phone.

I really like the iPhone, don't get me wrong, I just think for everyone to enjoy this phone and what Open Source Applications have to offer, and even Applications from iTunes - they are great, they should bring the price down for people.

Well that's my rant over!

Why everyone around the nets getting irritated about the iPhone just being $2 off? Their still doing a price match with Best Buy making it actually $289.
