Like when Michael Jackson who promoted Pepsi passed out due to dehydration and Coke put full paid ads in the paper saying "Thirsty?" Early adopters can be a bit angry since it was a pretty quick price drop. You don't mind paying a premium for 6 months lead on the turtle market but only a few months hurts. Billy is right about the cost though. Early means a higher price, always. I'm just bitter because I have a Cingular 8525 I got 6 months ago that works 80% brilliant and 20% completely painful.

My best guess is that iPhone users won't be searching on "iphone price drop" cause they're not buying. If they got mad, they're more likely to be assuming it's true, talking smack and not wanting to hear the details right away. Or, since that first round was full of hardcore types, they probably were reading about it on GearCrunch or wherever. Lots of people thinking about buying one might be searching on that phrase. That means they might go for free content that they could then use on the phones they already have. This is more about laughing at angry people than tempting angry people with free but basically unrelated content. That said, Mosh looks kind of cool.
