please, those domains were gone a week after the iPod came out, lol.

As for this guy, he just got lucky(or not so lucky if he's had the domain for 12 years and done nothing with it), a good amount of people are actually out there domain squatting, grabbing as many tech sounding domains, hoping that the ones they are holding will be named the same as the next big thing.]]>Jul 5th 2007 9:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/apple-buys-iphone-com-for-seven-figures/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/apple-buys-iphone-com-for-seven-figures/Jul 3rd 2007 12:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/apple-buys-iphone-com-for-seven-figures/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/apple-buys-iphone-com-for-seven-figures/Jul 3rd 2007 1:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/apple-buys-iphone-com-for-seven-figures/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/apple-buys-iphone-com-for-seven-figures/
This would be true if Apple was a new company and created the iPhone. Have you noticed that there's no more ipod commercials. The marketing department now is making iphone commericals. There is not that much extra budget cost from switching commercials for one product to another other than making the commercials.

As for the other costs, rather than shipping millions of ipods to their stores and such, they are shipping more iphones. The supply chain hasn't change much. Instead of sending ipods to Best Buy and the other retailers, they send it to ATT stores.

Software development and hardware design is not that big of budget cost since they already have people doing that for them, and they get paid a normal salary. Apple pulled some people from OSX team to work on the iphone, but that didn't necessarily moved up the budget cost.

The only cost that went up should be for testing since you need to test it more than the ipod. But if you look at it, they got some of their employees to test it out.

In fact, taking them away from other products means that they're not available for the other products.

Profits equals total revenues minus total costs. Costs allocated to the iPhone come out of the iPhone's profits.

Though that link doesn't show anything, the source shows that it does not redirect to apple.com. The archived link above is from February 5, 2007. It also shows a link to an image... located at the new iphone.com website.

The new iphone.com is now located at https://iphone.nuvio.com/html/]]>Jul 3rd 2007 12:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/apple-buys-iphone-com-for-seven-figures/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/apple-buys-iphone-com-for-seven-figures/Jul 3rd 2007 1:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/apple-buys-iphone-com-for-seven-figures/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/apple-buys-iphone-com-for-seven-figures/

Time for a new kind of dictionary attack. ICANN, here I come. ;)
'course that's like playing the lottery... which mandates somewhere in the agreement that if you win, 237 innocent people will be struck by lightning or whatever.
So I'll just keep my money. Still, you gotta envy the deal that guy got.

Like my brother in law's best friend, who sold his forehead as advertising space- sold to snore stop for like 50,000 dollars.]]>Jul 3rd 2007 3:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/apple-buys-iphone-com-for-seven-figures/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/apple-buys-iphone-com-for-seven-figures/Jul 3rd 2007 4:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/apple-buys-iphone-com-for-seven-figures/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/apple-buys-iphone-com-for-seven-figures/Jul 3rd 2007 5:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/apple-buys-iphone-com-for-seven-figures/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/apple-buys-iphone-com-for-seven-figures/Jul 3rd 2007 3:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/apple-buys-iphone-com-for-seven-figures/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/apple-buys-iphone-com-for-seven-figures/http://www.iphone.cz.
