hmm, well about the only thing I can add to the convo is that it seems people are evidently misinformed about the going rate for prostitutes as well as the sex appeal of i-stuff.

for example, this $350 dollar figure for a hooker is not going to get one very far. Maybe get one in the door, but not to do much more than a handjob.

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.

I think it's all about demand - supply doesn't even enter the equation. There could be excess supply and Apple might decide to sell the phone at a 300% markup because that's the amount of money they want to make - and they can.

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.

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

the only people I'd pay for sexual gratification would have to be of a certain quality...and a $20 bagwhore from Queens isn't going to do it!

As for where I'd be inclined to go or where I've been...I've never paid for sex but a few of my wife's friends are escorts who work out of LA or Vegas so I asked them. My friend also told me how much it was for him and his buddy when they called someone to their hotel. My opinion is that it'd take at least a few hundred bucks to get someone at least as good looking and clean as I could pick up for free from the local campus or bar scene. But yeah, "take your pick."

(although I am curious about these barely legal asians you speak of )
