SugarMama: earn Virgin Mobile minutes by watching
Filed under: Cellphones 
Yeah, we've seen this system before. It didn't work for Gizmondo's Tiger Telematics when it was called Smart Adds, we didn't think it was going to work for the company's unofficial spinoff, Xero Mobile (started by the CEO of Tiger's Smart Adds division), but now Richy Branson wants you to to stop paying for (some of) your minutes by watching youth-oriented ads. Welcome to SugarMama, Virgin Mobile's ads-for-minutes system which gives you airtime in exchange for viewing a video ad or interacting with text ad, and then providing feedback to the advertisers (presumably to make sure you actually performed the act of watching or reading said ad). We don't yet know exactly how many ads it'll take to reach the monthly ceiling of 75 minutes "earned," but what would really impress us is if you could earn your whole minute plan this way.

NYPD marking iPods, phones to aid in theft
Filed under: Cellphones, Portable Audio, Portable Video 
Myth or not, the story that muggers are specifically targeting folks with iPods has gotten a fair amount of press since it was first reported, and has convinced at least one police department to make a rather half-hearted attempt at returning peace of mind to the city's subway commuters. For the past three months, New York City cops have been offering iPod and other portable device owners a way to "register" their gear -- wherein the officers mark your hardware with invisible ink and copy down the serial number -- in order to provide victims with a slim but tangible chance of recovery. The two-pronged approach ensures that even if thieves figure out a way to wash off the ink. which is only visible under infrared lighting, they may not be wise enough to file off the serial numbers as well. So far, over 2,000 gadgets have been marked at Transit Bureau offices and tables located around the subway system, although the program has yet to help any victims recover their stolen goods, so it's probably not a bad idea to continue sporting your Thomas Pink tie.

Fifteen years from now, people will be asking each other, "Where were you when the Q order link went live on Verizon's site?" Anyway, after "just 2 easy steps" -- committing two years of mobile freedom and your firstborn child -- the Motorola Q will cost you $199.99. Why are you still reading? Get 'em while the gettin's good. Read | Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments

Oh Treo 700p, we feel we've known ye for months -- maybe that's because we have. Here we have Sprint finally showing availability on their site for the device, failing to making good on its promise to ship before Verizon -- but we'll take what we can get, right? Available now for the princely sum of $429.99 with contract. Grab yours before it gets taken down, goes on backorder, or otherwise disappears without a trace.
