There is no escaping advertising, it is everywhere you look, and now it is beamed to your own pocket, thanks to new billboards which transmit ads to Bluetooth phones.

In the era of coining new words and phrases, the new advertising method has been dubbed 'Bluecasting'. Walk bast a Bluecasting billboard and you can expect your phone to ask if you want to receive an incoming media file. Accept it and a video ad will be downloaded to your phone.

I always have my BT off.

Never want to risk it.

Anyway, I paid for my phone, unless you want to give me something for watching your ad why should I watch it?

isn't there a similar thing for the Gizmondo?

Yeah you can get the gizmondo at a cheaper price if you take an "ad pack" with it. You get adverts beamed to your gizmondo when passing certain places.

Sponsored spam? well at least it makes it cheaper :)
