Default Microsoft Looking For Mobile Device Testers In Seattle Area
http://blogs.msdn.com/usability_recruiting/archive/2006/09/20/764001.aspx

"Microsoft regularly conducts research to learn how we can improve our products for end-users. We are currently seeking cell phone and smartphone enthusiasts from the Seattle area to evaluate mobile devices that are still under development. This is an exciting opportunity to see some of our upcoming products, and help determine the direction we take with future mobile devices!"

Psssttt.... I have an extra $20 for anyone that gets in the program and hammers home the need for a close button. :wink: :lol:

With a hammer. :bangin:

Ed, Ed, Ed. The horse left the barn, it died, locking the door and beating the horse is a waste of time, but if you want to send me $20, I'll bring it up again

And for inteller, "evaluate mobile devices that are still under development". The chain isn't very long on those devices

Nah. they must physically burn new ROMs for you (no way these installers will be allowed on any non-MS controlled machine) and they often interview you one on one to get more out of the feedback, something that requires personal contact.
