Ok I’m not going to say to much about the apple iPhone. I’m sure every one knows how cool it is, about its accelerometers to sense movements, and how you can surf the net in a real browser, oh yea and how its the coolest iPod ever. But what i think is crazy is how some one out there has thought of taking a free g-mail service and then going on and selling that e-mail address for a large amount of money. i was looking around e-bay and found a few e-mail addresses for sale. Ranging from 0.79 – 299.99 for some creative names like Apple.IPhone.Store@gmail.com and this one seams to be the most popular selling at 299.99 Apple.iPhone.On.Sale@gmail.com
It would appear to me that people are bidding on this auction and not really looking into the fine print. the auction shows a lot of cool pictures of the features and even goes on the jazz it up with some fancy jargon:
“Impressed about the design of Apple iPhone yet? Do you want to make thousands of dollar? Well, here is your opportunity. Electronics analysts believe Apple iPhone is going to be a big hit when it reaches the marketplace. If you are going to sell Apple iPhone in the near future, you would want to have a good email address so buyers will believe that you are reputable. We are here to help. This listing is for the above email address only.”
I hope people will be cautious of potential evil doers and not get sucked into things like this, on the other hand if you want a e-mail at gmail so bad that you are willing to pay $300 for it i can do one up. i will offer any iPhone derivative e-mail at any of my domain names for FREE! just let me know if you are interested!
