iPhone Users Get Paid For Performing Location Based Tasks
In North America a similar service is already available, known as Gigwalk which was launched in May and collaborated with TomTom as their brand partner but now it looks like Dutch iOS users will be able to enjoy something similar with Roamler. Right now the app is in beta and is only invitation only.
Basically for those who are unfamiliar with location based tasks, users with the app will be notified by companies in their current vicinity about certain tasks that are required to be completed, for instance taking a photo of a potential retail site or verifying product placement. The companies provide the task to Roamler (or another similar service like Gigwalk) who in turns puts the word out to users within that area.
If the user completes the tasks they will be awarded points and get paid anywhere from 2 – 4 Euros and the higher the climb through the accumulation of their points, the harder the task will be and the more money they will be able to earn. If you’ve ever played an RPG video game you could compare it to levelling up a character and getting more experience points and gold as you go along.
Since it’s all location based it doesn’t really inconvenience anyone, so if you happen to be in the area and you want to earn some extra money you wouldn’t need to spend a lot of time or go out of your way to get it done. Head on down to YouTube for the video and explanation of the app in demo.
Now here’s an iPhone 6S case that will certainly turn heads, especially when you take into consideration its name which is known as the OnePlus iPhone 6S case. That’s rather weird, don’t you think so? It will certainly take some getting used to before the name rolls off your tongue naturally. Well, we do know that The OnePlus iPhone 6S case can now be purchased for $19.99 a pop, and no, you do not need any kind of invite before you can snag one for yourself.
Each purchase will also be accompanied by an invitation to purchase a OnePlus X, just in case, you know, you would like to tread the Android waters. All in all, it comes in the kind of material as found on the OnePlus One and OnePlus X, which makes it a whole lot harder to lose grip of when you hold it – which is good!
If you are on the lookout for either the iPhone 6S or the iPhone 6S Plus, then here is news for you – chances are pretty high that you can pick up either one, or perhaps even both if you are feeling fat in the pocket, this coming September 18th. First of all, there was a leaked internal memo from Vodafone alongside Japanese site ITHome and German tech experts Macerkopf claiming that the new iPhones 6S models will roll out this coming September 18th in their respective countries
With Japan, Germany and the UK being tier one Apple launch countries, this means that those living in the mentioned countries will receive the iPhones at the same time as folks living over in the US – traditionally speaking, of course. There really isn’t that much time left to wait, as it is less than a month away, and I am quite sure that the time will pass by sooner than you think.
It looks like the folks over at Digitimes have come up with their own interpretation of things to come – that there will be no iPad Air 3 released, at least for this year. Digitimes has had their fair share of hits and misses in the past, so it would be best to take this rumor concerning the non-release of the iPad Air 3 in 2015 with a pinch of salt.
Digitimes also laid claim that the iPad mini 4 will not be as supercharged as some of the rumors that had been going around, as it will bring with it only small and incremental upgrades when compared to its predecessor, the iPad mini 3. This does not seem to bode well for fans of the compact tablet, taking into consideration how the iPad mini 3 itself was improved over its predecessor with a new Touch ID fingerprint reader.
Since Apple tends to roll out a new iPad in October, we will just have to sit tight and see whether this particular rumor has enough “legs” to run.
