Most Recent Posts iphone pay as you go -16th septPosted Sep-02-08 10:04:30 PDT O2 has removed one of the barriers to wider iPhone 3G adoption in Britain with news on Monday of when and how it will offer its Pay & Go prepaid service for Apple’s cellphone. The official pricing for the unsubsidized phones is now much higher than for the devices on contract and will require £350 ($631) for an 8GB iPhone 3G and £400 ($721) for the 16GB version. The service itself expectedly drops the regular monthly subscription fees but offers a certain amount of benefits depending on the money put into the account each month. Paying between £10 and £14 ($18 to $25) each month nets a bonus 500 minutes of call time to any UK home phone or O2 cellphone; paying between £15 and £29 adds 1,000 minutes under the same terms, while £30 or more provides unlimited calls. Unlimited Internet access within the UK, including 3G and O2 Wi-Fi, is free for the first year of service but will cost £10 per month afterwards. Text messages aren’t included with the plan, however, and cost 10p each inside the UK. Calls past the prepaid amount cost 5p per minute. O2 also cautions possible customers that the iPhone’s signature Visual Voicemail and on-the-fly call merging also aren’t available through the Pay & Go plan. Prepaid phones will be available on September 16th from both O2 itself as well as Apple retail stores and Carphone Warehouse. The move represents a significant scaling back from briefly revealed rates in June and steer customers towards O2’s more profitable contract plans, which typically sell an 8GB iPhone for just £99 ($178) but make up for the subsidized price by requiring a minimum £30 per month for service over the next 18 months. More frequent users also receive the iPhone for free with some premium subscription plans. Pay-as-you-go service is nonetheless widely seen as necessary for the UK, where prepaid devices are more popular for customers traveling to mainland Europe. start now christmas is coming ** keep the kids happy **Posted Aug-30-08 09:24:33 PDT You see these sites everywhere these days. You know the ones that target people who want to try getting a free iPhone. Do these sites really work and if so, how do they work? The simple truth is yes and no. Let me clarify. There are two types of sites that target people who want to try getting a free iPhone. The first site is the one that never gives away anything even though they advertise that they will. These sites basically bank on the fact that there really is no law online and there is nothing that can be done even though they are blatantly false advertising. They simply believe they will get lost in the advertising pool and in general they do and get away with it. The second site is the legitimate advertiser that has learned how to effectively run advertising campaigns that actually do give you a chance of getting a free iPhone. These professionals have learned that attracting people looking to get something they consider very cool for free and then taking the opportunity to present other things they are trying can be very effective. These sites understand that presenting the right type of advertising in conjunction with a great give away can not only cover the cost of the free item but yield a profit and increase their market exposure online. Knowing these two different types of sites, how they work and what to look for can be the difference between a successful freebie hunt and a complete waste of ones time. Luckily there is some great information online to help you identify the difference between the two different types of sites and exactly what to do when you identify site where you actually do have a chance of getting a free iPhone, gaming console, gift card or any number of other cool things. Once you learn about the great offers available to you and start using them yourself it makes it easy to show your friends and family what you are doing. They in turn can get some cool free stuff as well. Advertisers are banking on this word of mouth advertising resulting from their give aways because it brings more visitors to their site and increases the opportunity that they will also generate sales of their own products. If you understand how it works and what to look for then you also understand why it makes sense for a company to give things away. The key to selling anything online is by getting as many people as possible to visit your website. Companies can do this by spending money on advertising or by offering a way of getting something for free and let the people who got the freebies spread the word for them. If you got a free iPhone from a website then you would no doubt tell everyone you know about that site. If you helped spread the word out to 1000 people about the site where you got your freebie then the cost of that advertising was actually very cheap for the company. Below are some of the known “Good” websites which offer free gifts and you will receive your free gifts. The sites below only send out gifts if you live in the following: USA UK Canada Ireland http://apple.freebiejeebies.co.uk/4278 << Free apple products games consoles which are you buying the kids for xmas ?Posted Aug-30-08 03:02:42 PDT Dont bother buying the kids games consoles for xmas when you can seriously get them for for a fraction of the RRP of even free. http://www.myfree-games.co.uk has been supplying games consoles to the Usa Canada and the UK for well over 12mths now. the concept is simple and everything is only 1 click away. xmas is coming and coming fast before we know it the kids will be asking for all the latest gadgets consoles etc. join now and saves a fortune this Xmas http://www.myfree-games.co.uk A new macbook for xmas ** dont miss out **Posted Aug-30-08 02:42:52 PDT The idea of a tablet-style Mac has been bubbling along for some time, but new information from a supposedly reliable source has thrown fresh fuel on the flames. If this is really what’s coming from Apple in the next month or two, I’ll have one for Christmas, please!
Earlier this week MacDailyNews published a tip that we’re about to see a new Mac with a multi-touch screen. Unlike suggestions of a touchscreen device along the lines of an oversized iPod touch, this one is said to run full Mac OS X, not the somewhat reduced OS X used on the current handhelds, including the iPhone.Other features of the ‘MacBook touch’, according to the anonymous tipster, include a SuperDrive (DVD burner), accelerometer, and GPS. Not only will the device run regular Mac software, it’ll also handle those downloaded from the App Store too. Nice idea, if true, but some people are bound to question the inclusion of the SuperDrive given its absence from the MacBook Air. But there you go… He or she also suggests Apple will initially sell these devices at lower than normal margins to get the volume up. That’s not something we’re used to seeing from Apple. Presumably the idea is that once that happens, economies of scale will kick in, restoring the company’s customary above-average margins. This ties in with Apple CFO Peter Oppenheimer’s recent observation that a future product transition would reduce the company’s margins. But which is the chicken and which is the egg? Has the tipster merely included that information, or are both statements underpinned by the same facts.
It also coincides neatly with AppleInsider’s report of an earlier Apple patent filing that shows how the user interface for a touch-screen Mac might work, including various gestures, a multi-touch virtual keyboard (allowing typing with several fingers, including conventional shift keys and other modifiers), and virtual scroll wheels
If you want to know what this might look like, Gizmodo has published some mock-ups that look pretty frackin’ gorgeous to me.The main image is obviously cobbled up from an iMac, but the idea of a desk mount as well as automatic landscape/portrait adjustment when you rotate the device (a la the iPhone and iPod touch) makes a lot of sense. The idea of enlarging GarageBand’s soft keyboard so it’s large enough to play with your fingers on the screen is another idea that’s obvious in retrospect. As always, we’re left wondering whether the tip is based in fact, or if it’s the result of someone’s warped sense of humour. Assuming it is true, how expensive will it be? The iPod touch costs more than an iPod classic, and the MacBook Air is almost as expensive as a MacBook Pro. So what I’d hope is that a minimum configuration (without options such as the Bluetooth keyboard and mouse) would be no more than /. OK, I’d hope they turn out to be less expensive than that, but I’m trying to be realistic. Apple might go with reduced margins, but I can’t see the company going for negative margins, and unlike the iPhone 3G there’s no partners to provide a subsidy. I’m also assuming the device provides horsepower at least comparable with current MacBooks did you know that just for trying a free trial you can claim a free ipod touch or other apple products?Posted Aug-28-08 13:02:55 PDT The new iphone 3g will be released just before xmas and will be priced quiet high, but if you have a few spare minutes you can claim a free iphone pay as you go on pre-order.
