If you’re one of those early adopters who bought the 8GB iPhone when it first came out, you may have been feeling a little wronged over the past 24 hours. Yesterday, just 2 months after the initial launch of the product, Apple announced a $200 price cut off of the $599, 8GB iPhone. This announcement was met with different responses by those wanting an iPhone, basically depending on whether or not they already owned one or not.

In response to “hundreds” of emails, today Steve Jobs published an open letter on the Apple website stating that they “need to do a better job taking care of our early iPhone customers” and offered a $100 Apple store credit to anyone that had already purchased an iPhone, but not before reminding us that technology is a bumpy road (or a slippery slope as we like to call it).

Jobs wasn’t too sympathetic in his letter and also made a point that in his experience there is always going to be a better product at a cheaper price coming up, but did acknowledge by this discount that a 33% price cut in two months might be a little much.

Details on how to take advantage of the discount will be posted on the Apple website next week.
