An iPad tester can find many offers online and avoid those annoying contests to try and win one. Getting to be one of the first to own and operate an iPad is easier than you think. If I’ve caught your interest then keep on reading to learn how you can get an iPad to keep free.

How Are Companies Able to Give Away iPads For Free?

Most offers like these are paid for by advertisers or 3rd party investors. They require consumers to fulfill a few requirements and then once completed, they send the consumer a new product to try out. As long as you complete your end of the deal, you’ll find out this offer to be “REAL” and your tablet-style computer will be yours to keep without waiting to see if you’ve won a contest or was lucky enough to have your email address picked from a list of about a million others.

Offering free iPads for testing is a really inexpensive way for advertisers to get the word out about this new revolutionary product. The Apple Corporation and other companies will use the iPad test to elicit consumer opinions and to find what the public thinks of the new product. They also may learn if the product is being used properly and if any new applications need to be developed in order to increase sales and keep the public’s interest high. Let’s face it, after getting one for free I’m sure you’ll become a valued customer as well.

Please Be Aware Though:

You must be a resident of the United States to apply and you have to be at least 18 years old to qualify. This offer will not last long and once the iPad is available to the public, these free offers will often disappear. Don’t waste your time entering contests only to be disappointed when you don’t win. iPad testing offers are not a scam and they do work. I will caution you to be careful of any offer asking you for your social security number or your bank account information in order to be put on their list. These offers scream fraud.

How to Legitimately Test and Keep the iPad For Free:
1. Click here and enter your zip code.
2. Complete the surveys given.
3. Complete at least 2 offers. (They have some pretty cool offers to choose from).

Security in recent years with online moneymaking has increased significantly and it is generally safe to sign up with these programs.

The cons and negative points to note

There are always risks involved with any online company. You better go by reputation, word of mouth and most of the time your gut feeling when signing up for paid online surveys. It is always wise to follow the rule “if it’s too good to be true, it probably is!”

The Top 7 Paid Survey Tips

Filed under: Earn an Extra buck or Two — Tags: , , — admin @ 2:39 pm

Want to make some money online? Take a paid survey! Yep, tens of thousands of people just like me and you are making money every day online taking paid surveys. And it is getting easier and better everyday as paid survey companies expand their reach. If you’ve tried paid surveys before without success maybe what you were missing was a plan and some guidance. This article will try to help you with that so you too can make money taking paid surveys. The 7 paid survey tips here will have you on your way in minutes.


It is so easy to make extra cash with paid surveys. Don’t think you can’t do it, because you certainly can. The top survey companies are paying out millions of dollars every year to people for taking their surveys. All you need are a computer, an internet connection and an opinion (you have all those, right?).


Maybe you won’t get rich taking paid surveys, but you CAN make your life more comfortable. How about enough money to pay your car payment every month? You can do that with paid surveys. Or what about enough money to take that dream vacation? Paid surveys can pay for that too. Or maybe you want to retire early? You can turbo charge your retirement savings through paid surveys.


The bottom line is everyone can use some extra cash to make their lives easier. And there is no way that is easier or more risk free than by taking a paid survey. They are free to take and if you stick with the proven paid survey companies you know that you’ll be getting checks every month.


So here they are in no particular order. 7 tips to maximize your paid survey earnings.


1. Get yourself a list of paid survey companies, the longer the better. You can search for “paid survey” at Google and get a huge list of companies offering paid surveys or lists of paid survey companies. Just make sure that you use the free lists. You shouldn’t ever have to pay for any paid survey information. You shouldn’t even give up your email address to get a list of paid surveys. The free lists are the same as the ones that make you pay or register, so take the time to find a free paid survey list.


2. Register for a new email account to use when you sign up for surveys. This will keep your paid surveys separate from your personal email and help get you organized and focused.


3. Download and install Roboform or some other form filling software. This software can help you fill out forms up to 90% faster than doing it manually and time is very important to you when your taking paid surveys for cash. Roboform is free and it will increase your earnings dramatically. Anyone who is serious about making money by filling out paid surveys should have it.


4. Now that you have a list and a separate email account start going through it and sign up with as many paid survey companies as possible. The more sites you register with the more surveys you will receive. The goal here is to be able to take the best paying surveys out there. You want to be able to pick and choose your opportunities. Plus, some sites only send out surveys on a weekly or monthly basis, but these are often the surveys you want. Because they don’t survey frequently they often pay very well for your time. Signing up with as many paid survey sites as possible is the best thing you can do to maximize your income from paid surveys.


5. Complete your profiles at each survey company you register with. The survey companies use these profiles to decide who gets each paid survey. If you’ve taken the time to register don’t disqualify yourself from some surveys because you didn’t complete your profile. Also, consider everything you’ve ever done or owned when you complete your profile. Even if you don’t have a dog now, if you’ve ever owned a dog you are a good survey candidate because you have valid opinions about products relating to dogs. This goes for anything. Be creative and be flexible, but don’t lie.


6. Make sure you are checking your email regularly for new paid survey opportunities. Some surveys only need a limited number of respondents and the best paying surveys fill up fast. Three times a day should be sufficient, but if you are able to then check it more often. You will also see that the paid survey companies like it when you are a good panel member. Those who regularly respond to surveys will get more paid surveys and they will get better paying surveys. In addition, you could be invited to join exclusive survey panels that are the cream of the crop when it comes to paid surveys.


7. Of course you want to take the highest paying surveys first, but don’t discount surveys that enter you into drawings. They serve several purposes. First of all you might win! Some of the drawings, especially from smaller paid survey companies, have really good odds for winning. And if you consistently get yourself entered into drawings you will win one eventually. Another reason for doing this is to establish credibility with the paid survey company. Show them that you want more surveys and they will send them.


So there you have it, the 7 tips to making money through paid surveys. I hope that these tips have given you both the information and motivation that you need to make money online with paid surveys. It really is very simple and safe. Now get out there and take a paid survey.

Introducing the Motorola BACKFLIP

Filed under: Tracking Motorola Droid — Tags: , , — admin @ 8:10 am

Last January 6, Motorola made a surprise announcement during the international Consumer Electronics Show (CES). It is the launching of their most unusual smart phone ever, the Motorola BACKFLIP. Powered by Google Android, this phone can actually flip backwards, so that both the screen and keyboard are facing out. It has to be the most unique phone in the market today, and will definitely appeal to people who like having one-of-a-kind gadgets.

Just Like a CLIQ

Upon closer inspection, it appears that this phone is pretty much the same as the popular Motorola CLIQ. It has very similar specifications, such as the Qualcomm 528 MHz MSM 7200A processor, the 5 megapixel camera, the 320 x 480 screen display, the Wi-Fi and 3G connectivity, and even the Google Android 1.5 operating system that comes with the MotoBLUR, which is a social networking add-on. You should know though that Motorola promises to upgrade both phones to Android 2.1 eventually.

The keyboard is also very similar to what the CLIQ has, only bigger. It’s also a bit more domed compared to the unimpressive keyboard of the Motorola Droid. The three buttons that are found below the screen of the CLIQ has been replaced in this phone by touch buttons that light up when pressed lightly.

Not Like Any Other Phone

However, when you talk about the physical design, then this phone stands on a league of its own. When it is closed, both the screen and the keyboard face out. You can then flip it flat in a V-shape so that it can stand on a table and you can watch a video clip. When propped up this way, it can also work as an alarm clock or a digital photo frame. When it is fully open, you can actually use the trackpad at the back of the phone so that you can navigate without having to touch the screen at all. The good thing about this phone is that even with it’s one of a kind design, it doesn’t feel awkward at all, unless you try to flip the phone the wrong way (like you would a traditional clamshell).

Concerns about the Phone

One thing that bothers some people about the Motorola BACKFLIP is that it has the same problem as the CLIQ, in that the many windows of MotoBLUR look too crowded on a regular 320 x 480 screen. However, the screen resolution is pretty impressive though – everything looks bright and sharp, so that should be one less thing to worry about.

Another concern is that the 528 MHz processor may not be able to compete with the latest Android phones in the market today, such as the Motorola Droid, which has faster, more advanced processors.

This mobile phone supports HSPA 7.2 network and works on 3G band. It features 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.0. Its internal memory is expandable through the use of microSD cards.

According to Motorola, this phone will be available in the first quarter of 2010, but no price has been announced yet.

You can visit Best Mobile Contracts to see all the latest mobile deals available. There you can find all the latest Motorola Backflip deals on offer. You can also find the best deals for many other Motorola phones.

LG Chocolate : Style With Sophistication

Filed under: Delicious LG Chocolate... — Tags: , , — admin @ 9:28 am

Phone with a difference – LG chocolate makes a totally unique impression on the mobile user. The device has been designed to suit today’s mobile lifestyle. And for people who admire beauty with sophistication, this could be the real choice. Packed with user-friendly features, the LG KG800 (LG Chocolate) is more about fashion.

Built on slider technology, the device looks like a chocolate and when you touch the phone it lights up. And with touch sensitive navigation key, simply touch and explore hidden features. Slide open the phone and discover the vibrant LCD colour screen – it provides a good platform for viewing menus and other applications. This super slim device is all set to tempt you in the very first look.

The device comes equipped with almost all the features that a mobile user can expect in a phone. Although, its very slim, but it never compromises on features. From imaging point of view, it comes with an integrated 1.3 mega-pixel camera, flash and up to 4x digital zoom – ensuring excellent picture quality. Moreover, the LG KG800 is also loaded with music features – an in-built music player for quality music. Download songs or transfer music tracks from your PC – keep rocking on the move.

With LG chocolate, this world is not enough. Supported with Web browser 2.0 – browse the net, send and receive emails or keep you updated with the latest news on the move. You can also stay in touch with friends and family via SMS, MMS and EMS. Go wireless with Bluetooth wireless technology and connect your phone with other compatible devices and feel the freedom.

Though the phone looks very smart and attractive, it lacks one important feature – there is no expandable memory card support and users cannot expand the phone memory. And with 1.3 mega-pixel, you cannot expect quality pictures. On the other hand, for video recording, its a nice phone. Also the music sound quality is superb.

If you are looking for a sleek and stylish phone for you or for someone very special, LG chocolate is the best choice one can make.

Paid Surveys – the Legitimate Paid Survey Sites Strive to Beat the Scams

Filed under: Earn an Extra buck or Two — Tags: , , , , , , , — admin @ 9:28 pm

Many survey takers are ringing the bell that numerous survey scams are trying to compromise the quality services of the legit paid survey sites. Whereas experienced survey takers cannot be beguiled by the pyramid sites that emerge every day, the newbie survey takers may well fall victims of the scam artists in Paid Online Surveys. How can you protect yourself from the illegitimate survey sites?

Dear survey newbie, beware of sites that ask you to pay to access a paid survey database. You should read the privacy policy and terms of service of the survey sites you want to subscribe to. It is very likely that these same survey sites will appear in survey site indexes that are obtainable for free. It’s always better to choose a free survey site, rather than pay anything before you’ve actually started earning. Some legitimate paid survey companies require membership fees as a sign of exclusiveness and means of ensuring quality, reliable subscribers. However, most scams have mimicked this trend and have ripped off many naïve survey takers by charging alleged membership and vanishing into oblivion after cheating enough survey takers.

It is highly important to sign up for more than a few survey companies in order to make meaningful earnings. Having multiple sources of paid survey invitations is equivalent to having more than one income channel. Most survey sites offer a limited one-digit number of Online Surveys on a monthly basis. Expanding your free-time earnings necessitates that you take as many surveys as you can. Subscribing to more survey sites makes perfect sense, as you’ll get a constant stream of surveys, and thus, more constant income. But how can you tell which sites to trust?

The legitimate paid survey sites will never ask you for credit card information. They will also seldom require any upfront investment from you in the form of paying for information, booklets, tuition, certification or any other materials. Even though some legitimate survey sites also charge fees to finance their expansion and web maintenance, most rely on funds from their advertising partners, rather than their members.

It is also my opinion that the legitimate survey sites should not require membership fees, as it’s more logical and loyal to customers to let them make earnings for free. Paid survey companies are recruiting survey takers, since that helps market research companies prosper and remain competitive. Therefore, it’s the vested interest of companies to pay survey takers for the precious consumer feedback, not the other way around. Paid survey takers are the ones that need to be rewarded for their effort and time, and not be required to pay for the opportunity to earn.

Another advice that I often give to my acquaintances who take up Free Paid Surveys is to have limited expectations for their initial paid survey experiences, and be persistent in order to get to the real money-making. Experienced survey takers know that the chances of getting more, highly-paid, higher quality surveys comes as survey takers show availability and reliability. Once a company has identified you as a responsive and responsible survey taker, you stand the chance of getting more surveys that also pay above the average fee. Legitimate survey sites always recognize and appreciate their faithful and loyal survey takers, and reward them for their persistence and quality customer feedback.
