I guess that all of us spend to our limits and those less fortunate might think that our spending is irrational (PS3, N95, F150, 46inch TV, etc.)]]>Jun 7th 2008 4:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/07/christian-dior-modelabs-pop-out-another-absurdly-overpriced-ha/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/07/christian-dior-modelabs-pop-out-another-absurdly-overpriced-ha/
Where are the $25,000 phones that use prototype ultra-high quality WVGA OLEDS or polymer-based flexible displays that roll up or fold? It doesn't even have to necessarily be display technology; they can showcase any next-gen hardware and/or software technology that is in early (expensive) stages of development.

This is the perfect market for companies like Sony, Toshiba, Phillips, etc to showcase next-gen prototype technology in small runs of a couple hundred units or even less. The owners don't care if the phones last long, and price is no object. They don't even have to make much money of them, they can be part of technology and production testing and development.
what do you guys think? any next-gen tech you would like to see incorporated in one?

So, if they sold 40,000 of these craps, guess how much money they make?

Over $1 billion!

QVGA is overrated... 3G? How about 1/2G. They don't need it...]]>Jun 7th 2008 9:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/07/christian-dior-modelabs-pop-out-another-absurdly-overpriced-ha/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/07/christian-dior-modelabs-pop-out-another-absurdly-overpriced-ha/Exactly...
Well, by the U.S. conversion of the price in euros engadget gave multiplied by your estimate of 40,000 (I'm only using commas in the numbers for my own distinguishing purposes.)

With that price I'd want a 300 megapixel camera. It's a decent design but I prefer curved lines on a phone. Especially if I have it in my pocket. I was carrying my Mom's Razor for her once and ... it was painful.]]>Jun 7th 2008 10:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/07/christian-dior-modelabs-pop-out-another-absurdly-overpriced-ha/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/07/christian-dior-modelabs-pop-out-another-absurdly-overpriced-ha/
On a side note, these people who can afford such products work hard for their money and they should be able to spend it any damn well way that they please to. And if they inherited their money, so what; it is still their money to spend.]]>Jun 7th 2008 10:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/07/christian-dior-modelabs-pop-out-another-absurdly-overpriced-ha/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/07/christian-dior-modelabs-pop-out-another-absurdly-overpriced-ha/Jun 7th 2008 11:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/07/christian-dior-modelabs-pop-out-another-absurdly-overpriced-ha/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/07/christian-dior-modelabs-pop-out-another-absurdly-overpriced-ha/Jun 7th 2008 11:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/07/christian-dior-modelabs-pop-out-another-absurdly-overpriced-ha/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/07/christian-dior-modelabs-pop-out-another-absurdly-overpriced-ha/Jun 7th 2008 11:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/07/christian-dior-modelabs-pop-out-another-absurdly-overpriced-ha/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/07/christian-dior-modelabs-pop-out-another-absurdly-overpriced-ha/Holy freaking dead peacock!"

A sapphire scratch-resistance screen, titanium body with high-end leather, Quad-band and CDMA compability, HSDPA/UMTS and 1.3 Mp camera for video calling, at least a 1 Gb of internal memory for countless storing of messages, and of course a really long battery life for endless babbling just like those Philips Xenium phones with standby times of up to a month.

I doubt those rich people would bother with the phone's crappy 2.0 Mp camera unless it's for video calling, which I am unsure of.

There are 7 girls in a bus.
Each girl has 7 backpacks.
In each backpack, there are 7 big cats.
For every big cat there are 7 little cats.
Question: How many legs are there in the bus?
