Microsoft wants you to buy their products to start offering cash for iPhones
Earlier in the month, Microsoft -- which would love for you to pick up one of its new second-generation Surface 2 tablets -- began offering iPad owners a paltry US$200 or more for a trade-in in hopes that youd actually fall for the ploy, grab the cash and buy one of their beleaguered tablets. Now Forbes is reporting that Microsoft will be offering you a minimum of $200 for your iPhone 4s or iPhone 5 at some of the US and Canadian Microsoft Stores.
In this case, the trade-in promotion is part of the #timetoswitch campaign, and Microsoft is hoping that youll ditch your nice and relatively new iPhone for a Windows Phone instead of an iPhone 5s or 5c. Not that Microsoft seems desperate or anything, but they also have an online campaign that started a few weeks ago where theyll take any Apple, Android or BlackBerry device in return for a Visa gift card. I wonder how much theyll give me for that third-generation iPod classic thats sitting on the shelf...
Forbes Kelly Clay said it best: "Apples impressive sales figures of the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c in the past few days mean millions of consumers are not only freshly tied into new contracts but overtly prefer the iOS platform over Windows as they waited to purchase the new line of iPhones -- and avoided purchasing a Windows Phone when they had the chance."
Its beginning to look like Microsofts business strategy for the near future is to become the leading vendor of used smartphones and tablets.

LG puts up a new image of their G Watch
LG’s upcoming wearable, the G Watch has been circulating the internet and the Korean tech manufacturer decided to release something to whet our appetites: a new teaser picture.
As you can see above, the ad shows off the smartwatch’s water and dust resistance.
This seems to be a good marketing strategy for LG, as the idea of strapping a small computer to your wrist doesn’t exactly instill ideas of durability or practicality in the minds of most consumers.
The G Watch does seem like an interesting concept: an understated Android Smartwatch that won’t balk at the threat of dust and water. LG’s upcoming wearable is also expected to rock a 1.65” display along with 4GB of storage built into the watch.
There haven’t been any additional details about the tech specs or price of the device.
