Dell No Longer Offers The Venue Pro On Contract, Only Unlocked

You are in a Windows Phone Post

When you bought a Dell Venue Pro Windows Phone in the past from Dell, you had the opportunity of choosing the phone with a two-year contract on T-Mobile, AT&T or get the phone unlocked. Things have changed a little bit recently.

If you head over to Dell by following the source link you'll see that there is no carrier mention anymore. You can only purchase unlocked phones (of course, with the mention that you can choose the device with either AT&T or T-Mobile band support). This could mean several things! First of all, it can mean that Dell has exited the Windows Phone game as we were afraid it will when we saw it missing the Mango partner list. This would force carriers to no longer offer the phone in their line-up, which is plausible.

It could also mean that they are actively preparing the Venue Pros for Mango, installing the updates for whenever Microsoft makes the announcement after schooling us in seasons (it will be here this autumn). We might see the carrier references pop back on the page. Which one of the theories are you inclined to believe?

Radio Shack Leak Offers New Launch Dates: Vigor, Illusion, Strato

You are in an Android Post

Earlier today, we heard a rumor that the HTC Vigor might end up arriving on October 13 as the Droid Incredible HD. The source behind that info was a little sketchy, though, so we've been looking for some way to confirm the information provided. Some new data has now arrived, but it sadly doesn't help to clarify the situation very much.

A leaked launch checklist for Radio Shack stores shows the phone, as the HTC Vigor, set to kick-off its direct-fill sales on October 20. It wouldn't be that surprising to see a slight delay between the carrier's and a retailer's launch, but when you combine that with the use of "Vigor" here instead of "Incredible HD", it just creates more questions. Again, on its own it's not that odd to see confusion over device names, but we're walking into this one with our guard already up.

Joining the Vigor on the list, Samsung's Illusion is marked as arriving on October 20 as well, and the Samsung Stratosphere is tipped for earlier in the month on October 6. No pricing information for any of these handsets was included with the leaked dates.

A Quality Content Distribution Service Offers a Feast of Features


When choosing an online service, do you demand of them what you demand of bricks and mortar businesses? You should; quality service features are not exclusive to traditional offline enterprises. You understand that you must offer value to your customers. You should expect the same from any online service you use.

This definitely applies to your choice of an article marketing enterprise. For a quality content distribution service to help you succeed, it must have specific service features. Understanding what service features constitute a good service is the first order of the day.

First, a comprehensive distribution list is something to look for in a service. Before signing up as a member explore if their publishers list is significant. You want the list to contain popular publications across an assortment of categories.

Of course, this list must be current and the service should update it on a regular basis. The publishing world, online and offline, is a fickle one. Publishers come and go and you want to know the latest players in the game. In this way, your articles reach new audiences.

A quality content distribution service must also provide for off site use. Some services require you download special software programs to your PC. Consequently, you can only submit articles from your home office. The offsite option isn't available to you.

A good service makes it easy for you to log in from any computer. This ensures you can submit anytime, from any location. Therefore, you're always in control of your article campaign. You can also track distribution and exposure reports from a mobile device while on the road.

Another service feature to seek out from a service is article marketing automation. Lets' face it; you don't want to engage in article distribution functions every day. You have a plethora of other activities, work and non-work related, to attend to weekly.

When you automate your article campaign, you put distribution on auto-pilot. You schedule article distribution ahead of time and then don't worry about it anymore. A quality content distribution service allows you to set article distribution dates up to a year in advance.

A key to article marketing success is a continual flow of articles going out to your niche. Article marketing automation provides for this and aids in you gaining relevant backlinks. These backlinks grow each month as your articles go out like clockwork because of your pre-scheduling.

Another service feature that is part of an excellent service is constant and ongoing distribution. This feature means your articles work for you long after you accomplish the writing. A premier service keeps up-to-date on new publishing opportunities for your work. They send your articles to these new places.

While you're busy creating a new article series, previously written content reaches new readers. Constant and ongoing distribution concentrates on your older articles along with your newer batches. In effect, your overall article marketing effort builds on itself. You still gain backlinks to your site from stuff you wrote months or even years ago.

An equally important service feature is unlimited article distribution. Some article enterprises limit the number of articles their members can submit in a subscription period. In effect, they're limiting the number of backlinks a writer can garner in a period. This is the last thing you want from a service.

A quality content distribution service focuses on maximum exposure for their members. They allow writers to submit as many articles as they're capable of writing in a subscription period. They don't cap article submissions and then charge additional fees for extra submissions.

This is vital to internet marketers, especially for those with small operating budgets. Paying per article or additional fees on top of basic subscription charges can cause your costs to soar quickly. A good service charges a one-time fee with no extra charges.

It's essential you choose a service that offers live article review. You expend time and energy in article research and writing. You don't want a quick once-over of your work from a software program. Human editing of your articles ensures article quality.

A good service offers personalized coaching as part of a live review. Not only does an editor study your work, they offer helpful advice and suggestions. That in itself is worth the membership fee. You're receiving a professional critique of your writing. This can only aid your future writing efforts.

Excellent service features separate a premier service from run-of-the-mill ones. The above mentioned features ensure article campaigns flourish, and within budgets. Choose a quality content distribution service that offers a feast of features and watch your backlinks grow.

Google Offers Marketing Ideas, by the Book

Google seems to be able to do just about anything, at least if the robust earnings report the company issued on Thursday is any indication. So perhaps it is not surprising that Google is also getting into the business of writing e-books.

The initial e-book developed by Google is a marketing book titled “Winning the Zero Moment of Truth.” It was written by a Google executive and produced by the digital publisher Vook.

The Google e-book is, not surprisingly, hoping to spread some of the marketing gospel according to Google. It promotes the importance of understanding how much research consumers now do about products they are thinking about buying well before they buy them.

Needless to say, some of that research takes place on google.com and Google is more than glad to provide to marketers data about what goes on its Web site.

The e-book can be downloaded free from places that include a special Web site, zeromomentoftruth.com; the iTunes bookstore; the Kindle e-book reader bookstore; and the Nook e-book reader bookstore.

The book features interviews with executives of leading consumer product companies and agencies. The “enhanced e-book” version, for iPads and iPhones, includes video clips of the interviews that are embedded in the text, chapter by chapter.

Among those interviewed are Mark Addicks, senior vice president and chief marketing officer of General Mills; Beth Comstock, chief marketing officer at General Electric; Dina Howell, worldwide chief executive of the Saatchi & Saatchi X unit of Saatchi & Saatchi, part of the Publicis Groupe; Kim Kadlec, worldwide vice president for global marketing at Johnson & Johnson; and Rishad Tobaccowala, chief strategy and innovation officer at VivaKi, also part of Publicis.

The author of “Winning the Zero Moment of Truth” is Jim Lecinski, managing director for United States sales and service.

In a phone interview, Mr. Lecinski explained that the title is a play on a phrase that is beloved by Procter & Gamble, “the first moment of truth,” which refers to the few seconds that a shopper looks at, and considers buying, a product on a store shelf.

The “zero moment of truth” is so named because it takes place after an ad for a product stimulates interest in it and before the possible visit to the store to buy it, Mr. Lecinski said.

“Consumers are researching by reading reviews and ratings, asking friends in a social network,” he added. “What the book shows is that this collection of activities is almost as important, as important, as the stimulus or the point of purchase.”

Researching potential purchases online is something that consumers have been doing for some time, Mr. Lecinski acknowledged, especially for big-ticket items like cars.

A new wrinkle is that, since the economic woes of 2008, shoppers “are doing it for everyday items, $5 products,” he added, like mascara.

Initial reaction to the e-book “has been very positive,” said Mr. Lecinski, who is based at the Google office in Chicago. That is reflected in some comments that have been posted on zeromomentoftruth.com.

One comment calls the e-book “thought provoking.” A second praised it as “spot on.” A third comment read: “Such an elegant presentation of common sense. Can’t stop thinking about recent mattress purchase.”

Google plans to advertise the e-book on Web sites like adage.com, Agency Spy, ClickZ and mediabistro.com as well as buy keywords like “advertising” and “marketing” on Vibrant Media Web sites.

More information about “Winning the Zero Moment of Truth” can be found in a video on YouTube, which is also part of Google.
