These days, a number of mobile phone companies are investing a lot of money in their advertising campaigns. The rationale behind massive advertising campaigns is the promotion of the various products and services that these companies have to offer. In today’s mobile phones market many latest phones with free gifts are already selling like hot cakes. Some of the mobile phone companies that are competing to gain a wider customer base across the globe include major players like Nokia, Motorola, LG, BlackBerry and Samsung. Besides manufacturing innovative mobile handsets, these companies are increasingly experimenting with new product promotional ideas. This creates favourable marketing conditions by arousing public interest in their products. A successful and often-tried marketing gimmick practised by these mobile phone companies involves the launch of latest mobile phones with free gifts. The incentive of lucrative gifts that come free of cost acts as a stimulant for drawing customers. In today’s cut-throat competitive market, its the all-crucial question of the struggle for survival and survival of the fittest.

The offer of latest mobile phones with free gifts is welcomed by all the prospective customers as they feel they will be rewarded and so by investing for a product (in this case the mobile phone) they will eventually end up with two or more products for the cost of one. We human beings tend to judge our efforts against a return on investment index. These companies intelligently harness this human inclination to suit their ends. Most of the companies have slashed down prices so as to make mobile phones more affordable for financially - constrained customers and to fend - off competition from rival firms. Not only this, these companies have floated a number of customer – friendly tariff plans too. Some of these mobile phones come with free gifts that includes free laptop and Nintendo Wii.

Today’s technologically - savvy generation is ever-willing to embrace such lucrative gift offers. In this day and age, a laptop has become an absolute - must for business executives, public officials and students. Then again, gaming consoles like Nintendo Wii are also pulling crowds with their promise of providing that adrenaline-rushing thrill to its players besides giving them a chance to mingle with their family in the refreshing activity of sport indulgence. Today’s fashion-conscious lifestyle demands that people should stay abreast of the latest trends. Mobile phone companies like Nokia, Motorola, LG, BlackBerry and Samsung are not blind to this need of their clientèle and so they have stepped - up their efforts to improve the packaging of mobile handsets. As a result, more and more number of customers have started going for these ultra-stylish and highly sophisticated mobile phones.

The onset of the information age challenges the most basic of all economic principles: that one thing can only be supplied once money or another thing in its place is exchanged. Try to make basic economics function in this manner with information and you will find yourself in an unsolvable puzzle.

Spreading information is completely under the control of whoever possesses it. It doesn’t matter whether the controller is the original source of the information or not. Whoever has information has power to distribute it. Just as top CIA agents have the ability to share top secret intelligence with other nations as traitors and as college students have the means to cheat on their assignments through sharing information.

The internet makes almost all information available to anybody, anytime, anywhere. Our modems have finally united every person on the planet under the same medium of communication. As connection speed improves, greater information is available faster than ever.

Who doesn’t want this to happen? The media industry. It doesn’t matter if it’s film, music, video, or software. Media professionals preach a double standard. It’s alright for them to get information and sell it to you in the name of the right of free press. We, however, are not allowed to express our free speech by sharing information at will.

The famous Napster vs. Metallica case was an apparent victory for the media, however, things have changed very little. File-sharing software abounds in the likes of Morpheus, Limewire, WinMX and more. Intellectual property, as media information calls itself, claims protection against free distribution, controlling how we may use free speech to spread information.

All the efforts to control the spread of information are failures. Almost anything is available in some format or another. The problem with file-sharing software like those mentioned above, is that corrupted and poor quality files are exchanged. This is even worse because the original source loses credibility in addition to losing their money. Is there a middle-ground where media information authors can receive compensation for their efforts yet allow us free speech and the exchange of information?

The answer is yes. It is in the form of paid memberships to authorized file distribution sites and software licensing. By demanding a one-time fee for a lifetime membership to high quality file-sharing distribution, free speech is protected and media creators are compensated for their intellectual property. We should reward the media for bringing us entertainment, not pirate and corrupt their creations. We cannot, however, sacrifice our right of free speech and exchange of free information. The best solution, therefore, is a one-time paid membership to be able to download media information for free. Our iPods will be full and our rights will be safe.

Those free iPod advertisements are legit! It is not a scam, however they involve lots of work in order to get them. First it involves lots of time management and organization. For the big prizes you have to go through lots of special free offers and they must remembered to be canceled before the trial is over! If they are not canceled, the website will take the money off your credit card. You must remember this if you do not want to be overcharged! After completing these numerous offers, it may be necessary to refer a friend or two, or three, or four… however many needed in order for the prize. Not only must the friend be referred to the site, they have to complete an offer as well for you to receive the referral. But, if all done correctly, you will have your iPod on your front step after a couple weeks.

Here is the step by step process:

1. Sign up for a free offers site.

2. Pick the gift you want, and it will state how many referrals and trials needing to be completed, depending if you pick doing the trials yourself or referring friends to the site.

3. Do the trials needed to complete and remember to cancel the free ones!

4. Once the website has seen that you have completed all requirements, the gift will be sent to your front door.

Notes:

Do not give out false information to the website giving you the free gift, or else how would the gift be sent to your home!?

Always write notes to yourself reminding yourself to cancel free memberships signed up for.
Avoid giving out your personal information unnecessarily.

VoIP is proven technology but its greatest challenge is to make the leap from a “technophiles” gadget to a truly consumer orientated “mass” market service.

The advantages are clear - low cost or free telephone calls. But the downsides are just as obvious. Poor quality of earlier technologies such as Skype is well known. But usability issues are the key.

Take a typical scenario - calling for a Pizza delivery. How many consumers users are going to;

1. Go to the PC (often in another part of the home) 2. Turn it on 3. Wait for Windows to load 4. Watch as the latest anti-versus toolkit is downloaded 5. Find the headset 6. Look up the number …… five minutes have passed and you’ve forgotten why you want to make the call anyway!!

PC based VoIP is good; but not good enough. Users want instant connectability; a single address book and a service that is mobile. Oh and they want broadband download speeds as well.

So convenience and mobility are critical to the success of VoIP. Don’t get me wrong. PC based VoIP will be here for sometime - but the true mass market is going to require a much improved user experience.

WiFi is likely to be the answer. Over 10% of US and UK homes are already WiFi enabled. Almost all broadband packages now come with bundled WiFi routers. A further 15 million homes will be WiFi’d this year. A similar picture is developing across the corporate world. But surprisingly penetration of WiFi is lower than in homes - but rapidly catching up.

WiFi hotspot coverage is also growing with most major cities planning large scale roll-out of free access WiFi.

But WiFi in the home is where the battle will be won or lost. There is a good range of WiFi VoIP handsets coming on to the market. These are the handset that are going to transform the user experience - providing always on internet phone capability in “the pocket”. These phones have all the functionality of VoIP plus the all convenience of a mobile – cheap, mobile and always available.

The pocket internet phone concept is being developed by companies such as Mobiboo (http://www.mobiboo.com/ or http://www.tovo.co.uk/.). Cleverly Mobiboo have launched a branded WiFi service through Tesco in the UK. It comes in two “flavours” – WiFi only and dual mode. WiFi only is good basic handset that offers service whenever logged into WiFi. Dual mode is even better – this works as a WiFi phone in WiFi areas and a standard (GSM) mobile when not. Both phones have good battery life; large phonebooks and amazing download speeds – up to 5Mbit/s.

So the scenario above has a very different outcome

1. Take the phone out of your pocket
2. Dial the number.

Now isn’t that a so much better way to do it! And the call can be made from anywhere in the home or office. And the local cafe, restaurant, shop or airport! All the convenience of mobile; at the price of VoIP.
