Samsung S2 Pebble MP3s up for grabs

Competition closes 30 April 2009

Find Frozen Samsung MP3 Players In Streets Cornetto. 10,000 to be Won!

Streets are giving away 10,000 Samsung S2 Pebble MP3 players, frozen inside specially marked Cornettos.

Yes, that’s right, FROZEN INSIDE!

If you haven’t heard or seen the current Streets Cornetto promotion, then you may think it’s a little crazy – and maybe you’re right for thinking so – you make up your own mind.

And, if you’re first love is Cornettos (and not music) you might feel a little jipped by finding one of these gems inside your own cornetto.

However, for everybody else – just get eating Cornettos (guilt free if you’ve got a purpose, right?).

At time of posting, there was still 7,592 MP3 players to win!

How can I win?

This is not a personal review or a hands on (don’t make me enter an overcrowded Optus store) – it’s merely a sneak peek at the tech specs, if you will.

With of course, plenty of suggestions on where to find hands on reviews.

Google Smartphone -> Optus HTC Dream

Intro

Just launched in Australia by Optus is Google’s Android Smartphone, made by HTC. This aspect alone excited me a little, as I luurrvvee the HTC touch phone series.

It appears essentially a tool to bundle all of Google’s technology together in the one spot (search, maps, YouTube, GMail, IM etc), but appears to fall short on some of the come-to-be-expected essentials of today’s smartphones.

Pros:

• QWERTY keyboard
• GPS
• Access to the Android Market – like a smaller yet FREE app store
• Pros over the iPhone?  Perhaps expandable memory, removable battery – and starting off with a 3Mp camera (though unsure of quality).

Cons:

• No MS Exchange email support – which is a big shame, given that’s the first thing I loved about the previous HTC handsets…
• No Stereo bluetooth and no 3.5mm jack (ok, interesting…) – WT?
• Poor battery life – though we see this with all similar beasts so HTC aren’t alone
