In response to an ATT ad for Smart Phones, I called for their
brochure.  What I got was a pretty and colorful brochure on expensive
paper.  It touts how Smart Phones ca help you find out the Mets score,
balance your check book, improve your sex life and save the spotted
owl.  Of course, the brochure never once mentioned any technical
details such as how to get more information.  As a matter of fact it
doesn't even mention any company names or anything concrete. Image
marketing??


Ah, no wonder they needed to buy NCR.
