The title really says it all. I’m not sure Tolstoy would write “War and Peace” on this thing, but it’s one more thing I’m loving after my move to WordPress.

Hi August – love the new site – big improvement! I moved my own personal site to WordPress a few months ago though the company has a long term investment in content management on Drupal, which frankly has no equal for open source team blogging (including WP, even+BuddyList) but the skins and themes are sure a lot prettier and easier to work with in WordPress.
All the best – see you at the SCIP chapter meeting Wednesday night in DC… er, Alexandria.
August,
Will the iPhone lose luster now that it is being sold at Wal-Mart?
TJ
I don’t *think* so, and I’m open to being proven wrong on that.
Is your question based on the iPhone somehow being less exclusive since it’s on sale in a “down-market” venue such as Wal-Mart, TJ? I would think that Target is the discounter more in-line with Apple’s core (pardon the unintentional pun) customer segment. I was a bit surprised when I heard that the Wal-Mart deal was real.
I suspect one driver of this deal is the economic downturn. Also Apple might be trying to turn the iPhone and iPod Touch into a new mobile computing platform. If that’s the case they’ll benefit more from the network effect of widely-deployed devices than the will from maintaining a pure “upscale” approach. It also opens up a broader market of people who might see real value from Apple products but don’t consider themselves “Apple people.”
