Can’t wait? Buy an iPad for $5,000 on eBay!

Tuesday, April 6, 2010

Absurd, I know. Apparently some European Apple fanboys couldn’t wait a few more weeks to get their hands on an iPad, so they did the logical thing, and bought a 64gb iPad on eBay for $5,000. For $5,000 they could have bought a used car, albeit a very well used car, but a car nonetheless. [...]

I am a long time eBay user and for the most part eBay fan and I know that I am far from being alone in that thought. Given that I was very happy when eBay released their iPhone/iPod touch app, but I will say that I have not yet used it to actually make a [...]

Another day, another set of apps that have been updated. This morning I awoke to find that eBay Mobile (and I would imagine others) has received a welcomed update. The update brings the app to version 1.4.0 and is noted as being “optimized” for iPhone OS 3.0 and as you may have guessed that means it [...]

Remember that neat looking prototype iPhone that was up for auction on eBay yesterday? Well, as you can most likely guess, that auction has since been pulled. A quick visit of the (once live) auction page just gives the standard no longer available message. “This listing (170308425742) has been removed or is no longer available.” So, the [...]

Have you looked at the price of used original model iPhones on eBay lately? Why is it people are willing to pony up near-full-retail price (sometimes the phones are going for MORE than was originally paid for them!) for a used piece of equipment that can be currently be had with “twice the speed for [...]

According to Engadget, someone using the screen name ”naseemajid” listed an iTreo 800p on eBay. It has since been pulled from the site, but not before they managed to grab a shot of the hoax “iTreo”. Seemingly a simple Photoshop composite, it is nevertheless an interesting – if distorted – concept. How many iPhone users would just [...]

My phone before my iPhone was a Treo 650. Nice little phone. A bit bulkier, but possibly lighter than the iPhone. I used the Palm OS and loved the thing. Except, of course for the hassle of synching it and the fact that I never really used it for email. I just used the calendar. Ultimately [...]
