Nokia providing Nokia products is *VERY* different from Microsoft providing NON-Microsoft products.  AMD providing the hardware seems rather less nefarious--probably because a new CPU *REQUIRES* specific hardware (a compatible socket, chipset, etc.) to be demonstrated while Microsoft software, including Windows Vista, can be demonstrated on almost any existing computer a reviewer already has sitting around.<br><br>As for the PR firm providing anything as part of a gift-giving trio, that sounds absurd; any portion of the cost of the units in question for which the PR firm does not receive direct recompense is likely considered an expense for the Microsoft and/or AMD account because they are obviously promoting client products to bloggers, not promoting their own PR services to bloggers.<br><br>The price relevance should be obvious.  If someone you barely know offers you a cup of coffee, they might just be friendly; if someone you barely know offers you a fancy dinner, a few margaritas, then to escort you to a private hotel room to relax until your buzz wears off, that person wants something and it isn\'t a few minutes of friendly conversation.</div>\

I do, however, think that reviews should disclose when review units have been furnished by vendors rather than purchased.  And in cases when hardware and software are provided together, but also available separately, I think that prudent reviewers should either try the software on other hardware or disclose to readers that they have not done so and if possible, provide information about any known or anticipated compatibility issues.</div>\

They didn\'t have to be so audacious with the hardware purchase, they could have gone with Dell and maybe not drawn as much attention. Maybe/Maybe not. But it does have something to do with who they are, along with giving away what you make vs. additional goods as well.</div>\

Both a cellphone along with the laptop have software installed in order to function. While Microsoft may have been soliciting bloggers responses to the software portion of the gift, and Nokia was soliciting bloggers responses to the hardware portion of the gift, they both provided essentially the same stuff to the bloggers i.e. that which was required by each to get an even-across-the-board review. I\'m not sure Vista would/will perform the same way across all computer hardware configurations, so providing the laptop was a way of ensuring that all reviewers were reviewing the exact same thing.<br><br>I agree with Scoble that the key here is that disclosure is made by those reviewers that their products were provided by the "mother ship".

Now, Codewarrior already had PPC and Intel compilers; all they needed to make universal binaries was the information from Apple on how to package PPC and Intel code into one package that OSX would understand.  Apple withheld that info, thus forcing all devs to move to XCode.  Codewarrior essentially went out of business shortly thereafter.<br><br>Now, imagine if Microsoft made it a requirement that only Visual Studio could be used to make Vista apps.

I always mention in my blog posts about the getting these Nokia phones via this program. I also give an honest review about its abilities in the context of the topic of my blog. My current blog is about Mobile Phone Podcast Listening and the use of Melodeo Mobilcast to do it. In my blog I talk about many types of cool phones that enable podcast listening.<br><br>I also think that this program is very smart for Nokia to do. I know that these cool Nokia N-series phones get a lot of attention when I use them in public.  I am in the mobile media business and thus these phones get shared a lot in the office and Mobilcast gets tested on these devices.<br><br>My teen age kids also use them sometimes and share them with their friends. The benefits of doing this program are huge for Nokia.<br><br>I don\'t think any company should be bashed for doing one of these programs with key influencers. I believe that most of these key influencers are honest people that disclose. I am currently using the N80 phone and it is a small cool phone, but am dying to get the N95 as that sounds like it could be a dream smartphone with a quad-band, wifi, 3G UMTS/HSDPA and 5 megapixel camera. It is only missing an internal hard-drive like the N91.<br><br>Rob Greenlee<br><a href="http://mobilcasting.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">http://mobilcasting.blogspot.com</a></div>\
