Delta Would Rather Charge For Extra Baggage Than Run An Ad

Posted: 02 Oct 2010 12:35 PM PDT

Remember back in 2008, when the airlines told us that they needed to add extra charges and fees because of rising fuel prices? Please tell me you didn’t think when fuel prices went down they’d drop those fees? It all comes down to profit, and we can definitely see that given what happened to Scott Jordan from ScottEVest. Scott makes a line of travel clothing, and in recent months has been advertising the fact that it’s easier to load up your jacket then it is to bring a carry-on. I agree, but apparently Delta doesn’t. They actually refused to run Scott’s ad, despite the fact that they charge (quite handsomely I assume) for those ads in the Delta Sky Magazine.

So since Delta wasn’t willing to run Scott’s ad, we’ll show you his ad here. And also recommend, again, that you check out Scott’s clothing line. I reviewed his Evolution travel jacket earlier this year, and really liked it, but it was discontinued. Scott recently brought the Evolution line back, and it’s been improved. It’s also perfect for sticking it to Delta. I know I’ll be wearing mine (and have it loaded up with my various gadgets) when I fly next week.

Quick Look At The T-Mobile G2

Posted: 02 Oct 2010 06:26 AM PDT

Some of us at CrunchGear and MobileCrunch can't get enough of T-Mobile's G-series phones. Considering there were only two - the G1 and now the G2 - it's pretty impressive that these ur-Android devices have such a rabid following. Even given the massive number of Android devices now floating around, it's interesting that each new iteration is just a bit better than the last. The G2 reminds me of a Nexus One on steroids and the UI and form factor is a winner - it's as thin as the N8 that we just got in but it blazes through apps like a Ferrari.
