:eek: I must be really unapproachable or something. Have had the iPhone for 2.5 weeks and only had one person approach me and ask about it. And he was already familiar with it. :eek:
 
I was in a club in DC, and while I had my iPhone out checking mail, a bunch of Redskins cheerleaders (well, they claimed to be, anyway) came up and started ogling my Apple goodness, and trying to entice me to their hotel rooms for a "personal demonstration."

I was easily able to resist, though, as I'm not a member of Congress, and they wouldn't take off their rubber pig noses, anyway.
 
I do not think Apple owes you anything seeing how Apple provides you with a quality product already. ;) In other words, for the people who just got lost in what I wrote, Microsoft owes me for allowing me to buy their trash. I gladly pay for Apple products because I don't mind paying for quality.

Eh, women do that to (most) men without needing to do anything... just the fact that you're a woman is enough to make approaching you hard enough... and a guy would either have to be incredibly nerdy (not a bad thing, but usually talking to women becomes, oh, 5000x harder for this type of man) or incredibly confident (slash no ego/men better than women complex that a lot of men have...) to approach a woman and ask her about technology/computers/gadgets...

just my .02¢ ;)
 
Me 2... everytime i go out in the street trying to surf the net or on a phone everyone looks at me... for a few mins.. then they're like is that the new iPhone i'm like yea... and it's also a Chick-Magnet!!! :D. But I LOVE THE ATTENTION I GET!!! it's PRICELESS!!!!

How could you resist the charming beauty of a Hogette??? They're practically modern-day sirens, lulling opposing fans and random passers-by with their intoxicating beauty, hirsute forearms and cigar-chomping bow-shaped lips.

To be honest, I like demoing it. It hasn't gotten old ... Yet. It just shows how successful Apple has been at getting iPhone to resonate with popular culture.
 
I think it's pretty much the same for a few Apple products, save the iPod 5.5G.

Nano and Mac Mini- ¨WTF how did it get so small?¨
Shuffle- ¨What's that?¨
iMac- ¨Where's the computer?¨... I'm being serious! It exists beyond marketting.

They all lead to praising conversations.
 
thousands?? are you out of your mind?


You'd be lucky to see $85 in commission on $16,500 of electronic sales. Start charging for demos if you are hard up for cash, but don't demand to earn 20% or more on the lamest sales record in the world.
 
iphone legs

During the last two days of June and the rest of July, all the people who had already decided to let their contracts expire and buy iphones did. Let's call it a million people. And assume that since January, an even number of people's contracts expired each month. Let call that 200,000. Now figure each month another 200,000 people's contracts exprire and they buy the iphone. but we also have all the previous iPhone buyers out there selling, lets say one or two phones a month. That should add up to about 10 million more iphone sales a year. Apple should cancel their ad campaign and send us a commission.
 
I still get people asking me.. "Is that the new iPhone?!?" do you like it? grrrrrr.

I want to tell them.. "GO BUY YOUR OWN!"

Seriously, why do people ask the same question all the time? "Do you like it?" If I didn't like it wouldn't I have returned it??? I have started telling people to just go buy one. I am tired of doing demo's and with the new price slash more people are willing to fork out the money. I finally convinced my dad and my best friend to go buy one instead of using mine for everything when I was around them.
 
Tell them you can't stand using such an innovative device, and hate being first on your block with the hottest gear around, but you lost a bet with your roommate and this was your punishment. See if they believe you.
 
agreed.. the biggest nuisance with my iphone
is indeed the fact i cannot use it anywhere
without being interrupted by a 3rd party :)

this is particularly more intense here in canada
where everyone is always talking about it but
living in a country that remains iphone-less

however, we all must admit that a part of us
really likes the attention this latest tech brings

enjoy it while it's here... it wont last forever ;)
