Eh. You're not selling to the same market as iPhones. You know this. People who want an iPhone, or who would be satisfied by an iPhone, wouldn't buy a GTA04 even if you could sell it to them for $50. They probably wouldn't want one even if you could *give it to them for free*. Don't worry about them. By the same token, I bought the GTA02...; I wouldn't buy an iPhone for $25, but I'd pay a premium for a GTA04..., if only it wasn't *$1k*. And, I know--it's a fair price. I just don't have the money in my budget. I could afford to help subsidize *others'* GTA04 purchases, however, by buying a $60 T-shirt. I wonder how many other people are in the same situation as I am: we want to see this thing succeed, but we can't afford to buy one...; but we could afford to join the fan-club, if only there was one. So, where are the $60 T-shirts? -- "Don't be afraid to ask (λf.((λx.xx) (λr.f(rr))))." _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
