I work for AT&T. I see the marketing ads that we publish to make folks want the I-phone. It's corporate advertising-- I understand why we need to please Wall Street.
Well, today my car was in the shop for a brake job, wheel alignment, rebalancing of the tires, and an oil change.
When I got to the shop, they were not quite finished and I had to wait another 10 minutes for the car to be done. As I waited, I checked my personal email on my I-phone. While in the waiting room, I received an email from Zimbrick (my car repair shop) reminding me that my vehicle was due for maintenance... and it had several coupons attached.
I chuckled.... And went to the service manager, whose name was on the email.
Did he know the company was sending these emails? (No...)
Did he honor all of the coupons I received that afternoon while in the waiting room? (Yes!!!)
Boo Yah!
I saved over $60 bucks because I was able to check my email while killing time at the car repair shop!!!

I-phones seen really cool. But Grad student + family = poor. :)
Can you have your i-phone email me coupons that just happen to be applicable at the exact moment I need them?
It would make it much more likely that I would remember to use said coupons.
