Citat:

Who says the press is useless? Not Fei Lam, a New York teenager who sells conversion kits that transform iPhone 4s from black to white.

They are said to be original OEM parts and are not cheap: a full conversion kit costs $279. But as Lam points out on his website Whiteiphone4now:

White iPhone 4 Owners: 500
Black iPhone 4 Owners: 14,000,000

Since August, Lam's site has picked up $130,000 in sales - a nice pot for the college fund - if it doesn't get swallowed up in legal fees.

$130,000 / $279 = 465 - kontam da mu je marketing bio slab, sigurno ima mnogo vise iOvaca koje bi platile $280 za parce bele plastike samo da bi bili malo iDrugaciji... :)

Citat:

Lam, who seems media savvy, is telling the New York Observer that he has received a letter from an anti-counterfeit / trademark firm accusing him of selling stolen parts.

Lam is "100 per cent sure that this is not the case". The fluent Chinese speaker told the Observer that his supplier is a "guy [he knew] from a few years back that had somewhat of a relationship with folks in Foxconn".

Nesto mi se cini da mu ovo nece biti jaka odbrana na sudu...

Mozda da proba da e-mailuje Velikog Stevu, da mu se izvini i malo uvuce... mozda prodje samo sa provizijom :)

Vidis kako covek sazna zadnji za ove dobre prilike. Sad kad ga Steva zatarabi bice bele maske na crno par hiljada. Samo 500 u postojanju.

Meni je ipak jace opazanje da je nasao 500 njuski koji su spremni da plate $280 za parce bele plastike i da kupusaju svoj telefon da bi bio bele boje... mada kontam da vecina njih verovatno i nije to umela da uradi, pa su platili verovatno jos $100 min. za "montazu".

Covece, to mu dodje mini-ekonomija :-)

Ja samo kad vidim cene dodataka za ipod-ove i slicno pa mi se smuci, al opet to ima neku "funkciju" (ROFLMAO). Ali ovo... no comment

Eto ti ga na, potrosaci kakvi su :)

I display je uracunat u cenu (zalepljen za staklo/prednji deo maske), tako da mu je profit malo manji nego sto izgleda.

a jes mozda to mnogo, ali rizikovati da preseces flatcable, slomis digitajzer ili nesto slicno, a pritom pojma nemas sta ima unutra i kako je sklopljeno
uz to mrzi te da odes na youtube da proveris...

bolje da je prodavao "magicni sprej za izbeljivanje ipod-a" (beli sprej lak), zajedno sa zastitnim trakicama da se oblepi displej,da i on ne pobeli :] (naravno, for only $299,99)

[ Slobodan Miskovic @ 18.11.2010. 11:33 ] @

Beli sprej sa belim lukom inside, stiti protiv gripa, side, raka, prehlade i PROMAJE.

Tu fali onaj faktor koji cini ti "vrednim" $300. Stevino RDF blagopomazanje.

Sad ce ove ovce koji su to kupili morati da kupe novi iPhone da Steva ne bi bacio anatemu na njih :)
