I said similar, and you missed the point.
My comment is in response to someone who asked who would buy an iPhone when you can get something simialr for much less.
To me the there is nothing out there that is the SAME as an iPhone, but as per the iPhone versus similar phone statement in a previous post, there are devices that are SIMILAR to the iLiad that cost considerably less.
So the who would buy an iPhone argument could be changed to, who would buy an iLiad.

I wasn't. I was comparing the ARGUMENT of who would buy an iPhone (it was too expensive compared to other phones) to people who buy iLiads when they can get cheaper eReaders.

Not 100% true. If you have bad credit, or spoof the online registration system, AT&T will give you an alternate plan that does not require a contract.
Granted, that is not the "normal" way, and they certainly don't advertise that.

I think you missed the point of my posts, but I think I clarified that now.
By the way, I have both an iPhone and an iLiad, and I don''t think of them as the same device at all.
