The 3G iPhone and the price of being first · Proposed air date:

Dr. Dave and Evil Steve react to the 3G iPhone's lower purchase price, faster network and more open developer model. They expect enormous demand but use first-generation owners' buyer's remorse to restate a rule: the first version costs more and offers less, while early adopters effectively finance the affordable bleeding edge for everyone who waits.
