Linky Goodness, October 28

All right!! The tremors can stop, we’re back to the regularly scheduled LG that we all know and love!

You know how you see a business finally bring their key, core aspect online, and you think “What took you so long?” Yeah, that’s what MTV Music finally bringing music videos online is. But with the number of music videos on YouTube (not to mention the recent YouTube/Amazon/iTunes deal), is it too late?
Unless they buy Yahoo, Microsoft May Get Out of the Advertising Business by 2010, according to one analyst.
And are you looking for a cheaper Gphone? Wal-Mart will sell the G1 for $30 less than T-Mobile, but I’m guessing it’ll still be tuned only to T-Mobile’s network frequencies, so no breaks on the data contract.

I wish it were possible to purchase the GPhone without the contract. Then I would just unlock it and use it with another service and save a lot of $$$! You can buy those on eBay but people are selling them for a ridiculously high price.

Actually, like I said above, the G1 is tuned to a frequency specific to T-mobile’s network only. So even if you “unlock” it (you’re allowed to do it with their contract after three months), there’s no other network that it’ll work on.

Well that sucks. Thanks for posting this here Jordan. A lot of people will do anything to make a few bucks. There are certain GPhone websites which sell products for unlocking your GPhone. What a scam! I advise everyone to stay away from these websites and save yourself some money.

Regarding the third link , Reading the post in the washingtonpost, a spokeman said the price is as an incentive for customers to purchase a phone which has been requested by customers, and her’s they catch “Wal-Mart said it would start selling the touch-screen phone for $148.88 on Wednesday October 29 in about 550 stores for consumers who sign up for a two-year T-Mobile USA contract, and as more phones become available it will expand further.”
Might be getting one???

Microsoft getting out of advertising may well just make good sense if they are serious about it. Yahoo deal is not to be written off yet though!

The only thing still keeping Microsoft into advertising is their well known brand.
Maybe this worked until now, but it won’t keep them up too long.
