Ironically there are a number of people who didn't do well on iPhone futures.

Last Friday, just after the first iPhones were sold, thousands of listings showed up on eBay and Craigslist, with prices of $1,000 for the 8-gigabyte phone, a $400 markup. Some bold sellers were asking $2,000. But as it became clear that supply was meeting demand, they found themselves stuck. Few of the phones have sold for more than $700, which after sales tax, is not a remarkable profit margin.

And I can get a handjob from any oversexed college co-ed all day long when I flash her my new i-phone. So that's a wash for me...
There's really only one empirical way to test my theory...Halx evidently needs to go back to the subway and see how many young, hot sluts will yank his pud when he whips it out...the iphone that is.

as far as hookers are concerned... $350??? where you going? there's $20 joints in the Queens and the Bronx, barely legal Asians and Latinas, take your pick.
as far as functions are concerned...
World of Warcraft on the iPhone
