Target announced today the nationwide launch of their Scannable Mobile Coupon Program in all of their retail stores. What’s really neat about this program is that for certain items you will no longer need to bring coupon to the store. Once you’re done shopping, you will be able to bring up a barcode on the screen of your BlackBerry. The cashier will then scan the barcode and it will instantly take off the coupon discounts.
At Target, we know that mobile phones are an integral part of our guests’ lives, and mobile coupons are just another way we’re providing convenient, on-the-go shopping solutions,” said Steve Eastman, president of Target.com.
Here’s how the program works..
For you to participate you must have a BlackBerry data plan and the ability to receive text messages. Next you must opt-in to the program using one of the following methods, on your PC at Target.com/mobile, on your BlackBerry at m.target.com, or by texting COUPONS to 827438 (TARGET). Once this is complete you will receive a text message with a link to a mobile Web page that contains multiple offers, all accessible through a single barcode. Offers are single use and expire on the date listed according to the Target press release. Target.com states that the text message will only be sent out once a month, and some coupon items will be exclusive to mobile users. I do recommend that you have a texting plan on your wireless account, since you will be charged by your carrier for the text. Target is the first national retailer to widely launch such a program, and I’m sure if it’s successful, you will see other retail chains following suit.

RIM has pushed out a little goody for BlackBerry users this morning with an update to it’s BlackBerry application download service (BlackBerry App World) to V1.1.033. There is no word yet on what’s new in the update, but I suspect it’s a maintenance release to increase performance.
If you already have BlackBerry App World on your device, you may have gotten a little notice that the update is now available. If you click on BlackBerry App World it should give you the option to download the update.
If you don’t have BlackBerry app world on your device. You’re missing one of the best things about owning a BlackBerry.

We all know them, yes the BlackBerry users.. That little red light, that new message BING calls to them like a siren. For some it’s just a little too alluring to resist. Fortunately for me I have complete control over my personal BlackBerry addiction (Note from Editor – LIAR!!!!). “ Warning!!!: If you are a friend of mine and say one word, you will be defriended on FaceBook and removed from my BBM list to fend for yourself!” Now that we have that out of the way. BlackBerry or Tech Etiquette has found itself at the for front of many discussions.

Jancee Dunn over at Oprah.com discussed the subject of tech etiquette. Jancee asked a few ethics professionals some questions on proper mobile tech etiquette. Here is what they said…

So our hero is being chased by bad guys and needs to make a quick get a way. He whips out his trusty BlackBerry, hit a few buttons, the door unlocks, the car starts up and is ready to whisk him away to safety. Sounds like a great intro for a Bond movie, but in this case our hero is you. For most of us, on any common day we’re not being chased by bad guys. But life does dictate that there are times when remote door unlocking and car starting can really come in handy. Well the team over at Viper has come to the rescue with the Viper SmartStart App for BlackBerry. With Viper SmartStart you can now remote start, lock, and unlock your car. You can also take control of your car’s alarm system with an additional few clicks. The fun part is that you can do this from anyplace in the world if you choose. Now you can kiss goodbye the days of getting into a hot car during the summer, or waiting for the heater to warm up in the winter. I give Directed Electronics credit for developing this solution for the masses, since the Mbrace BlackBerry remote start solution is for Mercedes-Benz customers.
Kevin Duffy, President of Directed Electronics stated the following:
Today we have made Viper SmartStart technology accessible to tens of millions of BlackBerry users – a significant and distinctly different market from the iPhone, whose users are likely to be just as receptive to the innovative features offered by our product.
The Viper SmartStart app currently supports the BlackBerry Storm, Curve and Bold series devices. For more product info and pricing, check the press release after the jump.
