Don't they also have to fly to New York? I think I heard Chris Pirillo mention something like that.
$1500 + Round Trip Plane Tickets = Early Access to a device that they may not like at all? Sure makes me glad I didn't win.
- kevingibbon 14y agoWould you have paid $1500 to have an iPhone a year earlier than anyone else in the world?
- B-Con 14y agoAbsolutely not. It'll still be there next year.
- ericd 14y agoMany of the big market opportunities that result won't be.
- guscost 14y agoBig market opportunities might result. You're effectively investing in an unproven platform with high risk/return.
- duiker101 14y agoI know a lot of people that would have paid even more...
- zalzane 14y agoiPhone is typically used as a status icon rather than a device that actually has purpose (this is why some people replace their phone every year). Having such a high profile device a year before it comes out would be an extremely powerful status icon, just like how there's lots of people who are willing to blow 1500+ to get google glass ahead of release.
- turing 14y agoTo be fair, Google made it pretty clear that winners still had to purchase the device.
