The Oct 5 print edition of Entertainment Weekly, features a digital ad promoting CW network's action shows The Arrow and Emily Owens and M.D.. The cool thing about it, is that presents a LCD screen with short clips of the two shows, and when it is over, starts showing up live tweets from CW's Twitter account.
But, hey. Wait. how come it can show live tweets? And wait! Showing video clips inside a printed magazine isn't amazing enough?
No, folks. It is not. If you tear the magazine appart you will find a custom-built smartphone-like Android device. Manufactured in China (Yup, by Foxconn). The device has LED screen and 3G connectivity: WITH a T-Mobile 3G Card! That's how. And also it has a camera, a speaker, a smartphone-sized battery and a full QWERTY keyboard hidden - and even a live USB port.
A complete phone! Free! The guys at Mashable site did some research and found out to be an ABO smartphone with Android 1.5. Today it is close to US$90. But the magazine is cheaper than that - no worries.
And the phone even make phone calls. Can't believe the old warchildPost here? So, check it out in the video below. (Mostly exactly at 3:00 till the end).
