Ipad on the cheap

Well, I've decided to try something Ron suggested but I can't justify going all out like he does. The math just isn't there. For example: If Ron gets a small shopping center for $500/month that's $6k/yr. If I get filters (quarterly) on that same shopping center that's only $2k/yr.

With those numbers in mind I can't be going around giving away IPADs once a month to my prospects. BUT I can get a very similar response and give away something a little cheaper.

I picked up an Augen Gentouch 78 http://www.linuxslate.org/Review_Augen_7in_Android_Tablet.html which looks like a smaller Ipad. It works GREAT! I can take pics on the roof, stick the card in this little tablet computer and show the customer the videos right in their office without having to carry around a big laptop or notebook. Then I can tell them that one of them will be the owner of this tablet by the end of the month. The cost? $149 at Kmart.

This is NOT an Ipad. The quality is no where near the same. The one I got is the latest version with longer battery life (I got 4 hrs hooked up to the internet) and a lot of problems talked about in some of the reviews are non-existent in this one. So I'm pretty happy. I think this small company didn't realize how much Kmart will sell for them and they sold out of the junky ones pretty quickly and have just gotten a shipment of the newer/better ones. If I had any complaint it would be that i can't find a way to rotate the screen easily.

BUT it is a cheap giveaway for customers.

I'm going to check that out Tony. Are you telling them they can have it if they hire you for a contract, or are you telling them they are entered to win it along with other potential customers?
