Making the web work as a reach medium

11/18/2008, 19:57 |

T-Mobile bought a one billion impression campaign from AOL/Platform-A last week. The impressions were spread across two days. With Platform-A delivering about 3 billion impressions per day, that's a 33 percent share of voice across their network (the biggest one out there.) I would say that officially, this ad buy proves that you can have simultaneous reach of some kind online.
No it's not the same as a superbowl commercial, but it's pretty important for brand advertisers nonetheless.
More marketers should be willing to pay a premium for this kind of campaign. A site takeover actually already has some traction and is a great way to flood people with your message. However one site is only one site. A giant scale buy on a network on the other hand, can ensure that you're showing a majority of Americans your message in just a day or two. Networks should be selling takeovers every day of the year.

There are a few tactical issues to think about:

The hard part about share of voice using a network is that on each site, the share of voice would actually be somewhat small. Using retargeting can make sure you hit the same person a few times.

There can be several reasons for wanting broad reach. Obviously one of them is to have a lot of people see your ad. But the other goal is typically to have those people remember your ad. Pair this kind of buy with guarantees on some major home pages and you should be good to go.

Networks sell this kind of thing for low single-digit CPMs, a great price in a downturn.

Asus Announces 800MHz 'World's Fastest' Smartphone

11/17/2008, 14:10 |

Asus is laying claim to the title for the fastest smartphone in the world, and there's little reason to doubt them. The news, though, is hollow: P565 with its 800MHz Marvell processor is objectively impressive, but underneath the oppressive, unflattering veil of Windows Mobile 6.1 it's not likely to blow anyone away. Carrying a dense 480x640 touchscreen to complement a solid range of specs — HSDPA, Wi-Fi, GPS and 24fps video recording to name a few — the P565 is nonetheless fighting a software war with hardware improvements. On the other hand, if you're one of those odd folks for whom any superlative is an automatic selling point, then this may be your ultimate handset. [Reg Hardware]

Virgin Mobile USA lays off 10% of staff

11/17/2008, 21:50 |

Citing “duplication of assignments”, Virgin Mobile USA has announced that they have laid off 45 employees from their New Jersey and California offices, which works out to about 10% of their workforce.

This comes just months after Virgin Mobile purchased post-paid MVNO Helio for $39 million. The terms of that deal already entailed a whole lot of cuts to the Helio team, and I’d imagine that today’s announcement means more jobs lost by that camp.

Limited edition Bionnic Commando items available with preorder

01/01/1970, 01:00 |
If you're into Bionic Commando (PC, Xbox 360, PS3), then you're probably into retro stuff. After all, we haven't seen this title since the NES days (not counting Rearmed, which is retro-esque in itself). If you are into the retro, then there are some freebies being offered at GameStop that may interest you: Patches! (joy)

The patches will be available if you preorder the game. Mind you, supplies are limited.

Patches - Image 1

Bionic Commando Lunch box - Image 1If you don't need no stinkin' patches (they don't actually stink. I just couldn't resist saying that line). Then maybe a rare Bionic Commando lunch box? Now THAT's retro for you.
 
The lunchboxes are part of an extremely limited run at GameCrazy so if you've got plans to get one, I suggest you do so as soon as you're done reading. Hey, maybe they'll fetch a good price on e-bay?

Just a reminder, Bionic Commando will be released on the Playstation 3 on February 3, 2009.

American Airlines introduces mobile boarding passes

11/14/2008, 19:10 |

Though nearly the entire pre-flight process has been tweaked to make use of modern technologies, one outdated aspect still lingers: the tickets. Every single time I fly, I find myself checking the location where I put my tickets once every 3-4 minutes. Are they still there? Did I remember to zip up after I last checked? When I pulled my hand out, did the ticket sneak out? I’ve never lost a ticket, yet I consistently fear that I will. It’s just such an abnormal thing in our daily lives - when else are we given something to hang on to for a few hours that is so easy to lose or destroy, yet so significant in the success of our plans? Lose that ticket, and there’s a good chance queues and regulations might just make you miss your flight. Miss your flight, and you’ll be making up for it your entire trip.

Fortunately, the times are changing. As handset displays grow to higher and higher resolutions, functionality generally limited to ink and paper becomes possible. Scannable barcodes can easily be printed onto just about any device made within the last few years, opening the door to ticketless boarding via your cell phone’s display.

Continental was the first in the US to embrace this concept, back in May of this year. Now American Airlines has hopped on board with the launch of their Mobile Boarding Passes program. If you’re flying out of Chicago (ORD), Los Angeles (LAX), or Orange County (SNA), you’re given the option to send a digital boarding pass to your cell phone via e-mail. The boarding pass contains a QR-code-ish bar code - security will scan this, and you’re on your way. Just remember to juice up your phone before heading to the airport!

HTC G1: Android Debuts, First Impressions

11/06/2008, 22:23 |
To begin, it must be noted the author is an iPhone addict, and duly biased. And, this review will pit the G1 vs. the iPhone in many regards. The photo shown here was taken with the iPhone (yes, the crappy iPhone camera).

Getting up and running was simple and fast: add the SIM card, power on, and configure the GMAIL account you want associated with your phone.

First catch: make sure the GMAIL account you are using is the one you REALLY want to use. After you add the account, there is currently no way to change it other than resetting the phone to factory settings. See the manual on how to do this.

After you have the GMAIL set, you are off and running. And playing. There are many features to check out, and the input methods are numerous: touch screen, track ball, full QWERTY keyboard and few tactile buttons to boot.

After some time cruising around the device, some initial thoughts came to mind:
  • If you don't like the idea of being forced to have a GMAIL account, don't get one. Or hack it!
  • Its much bulkier and heavier than I thought it would be; much more than the iPhone.
  • The applications available in the 'Marketplace' are very average, and seem out of date
  • Getting on WiFi is easy, but unlike the iPhone it doesnt pro actively ask you to join one
  • touch screen is fine, appears very responsive
  • adding additional email accounts is straight forward, no harder/easier than iPhone mail application
  • Feels much more like windows mobile than I would have thought.
  • Awkard holding it in landscape position (for your right hand) and using keyboard, not as nice as Sidekick, as the device gets in the way of itself
  • trackball might be overkill for everything but games. but I love it for games, and this is an important part
  • Camera is pretty solid, though not sure on exact method to snap shot (see photo on right)
Overall, good first effort. its apparent that the HW and SW is from different firms as its not totally tight. Its a PC, not a Mac :)

Sprints Wants To Help Customers Understand Their Phones

09/09/2008, 15:44 |

Sprint is formalizing a plan that will make their store employees know more about the phones they’re selling. This, in turn, should help the customers who come into the store get a better handle on the phones they’re purchasing. The move is not unlike what’s been going on with electronic stores that attempt to demystify gadgets. The better the customer understands what they’re buying, the more likely they are to purchase the time.

Spring has 1,900 stores nationwide, all of which were closed recently in order to facilitate training.

Customers who don’t have time for the 10-minute to half-hour sessions can make appointments for later visits. These free sessions will be available to existing subscribers as well, even if they aren’t buying a new phone or accessory, Dixon said.

The company tested the system in St. Louis and Pittsburgh in July, and customer satisfaction improved so much that the company rushed it into a nationwide launch, she said.

Sprint said a better educated customer was also less likely to want to return a phone.

WinMo-powered iCEphone comes to life, looks scary

Edinburgh's own The Medical Phone is just about set to unleash the mobile for the true argonaut in the iCEphone. The Windows Mobile-powered "Swiss Army knife of mobiles" is dubbed a micro-notebook by its manufacturer, and while we're hesitant to go along with that, we can't deny the utility here. Sporting a Jacob's Ladder-style hinge and a full QWERTY keyboard, the unit features three independent panels, a 3-inch 400 x 240 resolution touchscreen, a mouse / tracker pad, dual SIM card slots, HSDPA support, quad-band GSM connectivity, GPS, a 3.1-megapixel camera, WiFi and a 532MHz Freescale iMX31 CPU. We're told that the phone is just weeks / months away from a release in Thailand, and it should be hitting the UK sometime in the March - April time frame for around $1,000. Bonus video coverage after the break.

Save energy, save money: PS3, Xbox 360, Wii energy consumption put to the test

01/01/1970, 01:00 |
The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) and the Ecos Consulting firm have published a joint study which focuses on the energy consumption of the current gen consoles: Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, and PlayStation 3.

To a degree, we can call each of these consoles a powerhouse in their own right: they generate cool graphics, keep us entertained, and make life as we know it generally fun. But to call each of them a "powerhouse", in the most literal sense (i.e. in the realm of energy consumption), then that's the question, ain't it?

The NRDC has published the findings of their research in a document called "Lowering the Cost of Play: Improving the Energy Efficiency of Video Game Consoles". Based on their results, the PS3 remains as the most power-hungry - energy-hungry, rather - console there is. Then the Xbox 360, followed by the Nintendo Wii.

The document is a rather interesting read, and somehow gets every point across without having to step on fanboy toes. While I'd like to outline everything they've come up with, for brevity's sake (you can read the document yourself at your own leisure), we'll throw in this chart. The chart below speaks for itself.

NRDC - Image 1


What I like about this study is that it takes into account the different versions of the consoles in their lifetime. Also, they've given some suggestions - practical and reasonable suggestions - to manufacturers, game developers, and gamers themselves for ways to be more mindful of energy consumption.

Their conclusion is sound and simple, without being too uptight and demanding:

The single most effective way to save energy is to power down your system after saving your game if necessary when not actively playing. If you own a console with a powersaving feature such as auto power-off after a preset time, use it.


Ting Ting Ting! Note to all students out there readying a paper on video games - this could be a vital resource for you! Unlike the other study on the civic effects of video games, this document from the NRDC is merely two pages long, making it an easy read. And I strongly suggest that you do - whether you're writing a paper on it or not.
