Toshiba almost gets mobile advertising
Posted by themobilemarketeer on October 30, 2009
I’ve just been using my Independent iPhone app to catch up on the news and I saw an ad for the new Toshiba TG01 Windows Phone.
Normally I don’t click on the ads but something made me want to check this one out. Tapping the ad opens up the Safari browser and I was looking forward to a nicely laid out site that would fit my iPhone screen properly and be easy to read. Surely this wasn’t too much to expect from a mobile phone ad in a mobile app? Wrong!!!
This is what I got instead.
Not only is this not a mobile optimised web page, it’s for the wrong phone! The ad was for the TG01 and the web page shows the G710, which is a year old. Hey, at least it’s still a Toshiba handset with Windows OS, which is better than Kia managed recently http://bit.ly/3sulwr.
