			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Free SIM</h2>
<p><a href="http://www.technologygear.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/iphone.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-4293" title="iPhone" src="http://www.technologygear.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/iphone.jpg" alt="" width="175" height="175" /></a>Paly.com is currently offering <strong><a title="Apple iPhone 3G S 32GB Sim Free / Unlocked 3.0 Megapixel Mobile Phone (Black)" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/4-/10674553/Apple-iPhone-3G-S-32GB-Sim-Free-Unlocked-3-0-Megapixel-Mobile-Phone/Product.html?source=9593" target="_blank">iPhone 3GS with a free SIM</a></strong> for just £900. Though the SIM comes for free it is still £362 higher than the same thing bought from <strong><a title="O2 to offer free iPhone on cheaper contracts" href="http://www.technologygear.net/o2-to-offer-free-iphone-on-cheaper-contracts.html" target="_blank">O2</a></strong>.</p>
<p>There is a history of selling the famous unlocked iPhones through Play.com. The firms have now legally obliged them to unlock the iPhones they are selling.</p>
<p>These type of phones are rumored to be sourced from France where the law states that they must be sold SIM free, the contrary is happening again through Play.com. However, the price is higher too and so you can see through the proclamation of the “free” SIM.</p>
<p><span id="more-4292"></span></p>
<p>The <strong><a title="16GB iPhone 3GS" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.apple.com/iphone/iphone-3gs/" target="_blank">16GB iPhone 3GS</a></strong> can be grabbed for a neat £800. So it is overall not a bad deal at all to get this with a Vodafone or T-Mobile with just a £100 more.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.technologygear.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/16gb-iphone-3gs.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4294" title="16GB iPhone 3GS" src="http://www.technologygear.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/16gb-iphone-3gs.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="470" /></a></p>
<p>You could still get to save some cash if you were waiting for a few more weeks. It would not be long that the prices would be dropping by then!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2217" title="microsoftxbox360" src="http://www.technologygear.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/microsoftxbox360.jpg" alt="microsoftxbox360" width="175" height="175" />A report, from Gannett news service, says that <a href="http://www.technologygear.net/category/microsoft">Microsoft</a> is recruiting women to give Xbox parties to women so they may tend to play Xbox <a href="http://www.technologygear.net/category/games">games</a>. Well, a nice way to brand Xbox in a huge potential market?</p>
<p>These recruited women will be provided with an Xbox party pack of freebies in which Xbox game “Scene It, Box Office Smash,” microwavable popcorn, an Xbox universal media remote control are included.</p>
<p>It is, indeed, a nice marketing strategy, but it looks somewhat off if compared to other marketing efforts of the <a href="http://www.technologygear.net/category/software">software</a> giant.</p>
<p><span id="more-2216"></span>In recent past, women have proved considerable consumers of various casual games and have shown great interest in the gaming consoles like Nintendo’s Wii. But contrarily, they didn’t show the same enthusiasm for Xbox, as there weren’t some appealing games for women in it.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2224" title="xbox_women2" src="http://www.technologygear.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/xbox_women2.jpg" alt="xbox_women2" width="585" height="477" /></p>
<p>Heather Snavely, who is Microsoft’s director of interactive entertainment business, says: “Microsoft has sold more than 20m gaming consoles worldwide in short span of time, we definitely need some audience like teens and women to sell next 20m.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2222" title="xbox_women-2" src="http://www.technologygear.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/xbox_women-2.jpg" alt="xbox_women-2" width="585" height="550" /></p>
<p>We have a different strategy to target these audiences, the strategy that we didn’t adopt ever before.”</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2221" title="3173580251_4315e7339a_o" src="http://www.technologygear.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/3173580251_4315e7339a_o.jpg" alt="3173580251_4315e7339a_o" width="585" height="550" /></p>
<p>It’s indeed, good news for women who want to have a new experience of playing games, but let’s see how far Microsoft succeeds to appeal these women with their gaming consoles.</p>
