Consumers Unlikely To Pay $500 for iPhone
narramissic writes "A survey by online market research firm Compete Inc. finds that of the 26% of those who said they're likely to buy an iPhone, only 1% said they'd pay $500 for it, while 42% said they'd likely buy the phone for $200 to $299. Sixty percent of likely iPhone buyers would be willing to make the switch to AT&T wireless to get it."
Oh sorry, I thought we were talking about the PS3.
God spoke to me.

I hear it's also got less space than a Nomad. Lame.

46% of potential Ferrari buyers said they would buy a Ferrari for $12,000-$18,000.
Ah, I was waiting for the car analogy folks to show up. Just out of curiosity, why go with the Ferrari in this instance? Our research shows that 77% of people in your position would have gone with a BMW or Mercedes comparison. 20% would have made comparison to a Jaguar, and the remaining 3% would have compared the phone to a Cadillac Escalade.

Do I personally despise Apple? yes.
You'd feel different if you had a job.

Jesus Christ! The word is reins. Reign is what a ruler does over something. Reins are what you guide a horse with.
If you don't understand a word, don't use it.
All? Modern macbook is a great mid-level machine. iPod is quite good for a DRM-enabled player. Original Mac was monochrome, but it did graphics while IBM-clones were still just doing text for the most part. iMac was a success by any standard. The iPhone is the only potential boondoggle in your list. If you had talked about Newtons (Priced WAY over what the market would bear) then maybe you would have a point.
Now, I will happily agree that any Mac from the Macintosh II line forward, up until they went to the intel chips, is overpriced and underpowered. The G4 was the fastest thing around for about a second but it always had a horrible price:performance ratio. But your generalizations are inaccurate.
Yes! Give in to the dark side!

You know, reading posts like this makes me want to go to the Apple Store and buy something. There seems to be a correlation between people who can't shut up about how much they hate Apple and people who repeatedly make completely absurd posts with a deficient vocabulary.
Seriously, I'll pay a lot of money just to not be like you.
I have seen the future, and it is inconvenient.
And in Soviet Russia it is "Comrade Tovarish".
I've got this great commercial post blocker software. It will block not just dada21, but dada1-20 as well! $19.99, but for the first 100 slashbots to order, it's only $9.99! Just mention the code "IMADUFUS" for your special deal.

They invented an awesome new feature which is currently unheard of in cell phones: the "it doesn't suck" feature.
