    I thought most shops are quite serious about the "no photography" rules? How will this work if you get stopped from taking photos?

    Really? I've never noticed a shop that prevented photography.

    I like the use of the word "execute" to complete the task. Assassination missions next maybe?

    Any signs I've seen for no photography have been in places like Camden market where they probably get loads of people in front of some stalls taking photos preventing actual customers getting through. This I can understand. I haven't seen it in high street shops before.

    Might be different in tourist hot spots though.

    I've never been stopped from taking photos in shops with my phone. It's about the only useful thing to do with the camera, take a photo of something so you remember what you were looking at instead of jotting down the details. Works very well in Ikea

    Re: News - Field Agent launches “The App That Pays”

    I've downloaded it, done my first "assignment" (just a standard survey of 12 questions), and got paid £2 for it. About 2 minutes work..and cashed out already.

    The rest available to me are for a large PC retailer, all appear to be "take a photo of X, note down the price of Y", and pay similar amounts.

    I like the idea - kind of like a mobile amazon turks..but with much much higher rates. Will see how it progresses during the next few months, i'll try one of the actual assignments this week and see how it goes.
