Entertainment Weekly's Oct. 5 issue has a free embedded smartphone inside

Entertainment Weekly's Oct. 5 issue has a free embedded smartphone inside

Hey, remember Android 2.2 phones from a few years ago. They've become cheap enough that Entertainment Weekly is giving them away, embedding over 1000 in the Oct. 5 print issue to serve as an interactive advertisement. When you open the magazine to the advertisement page, the LCD screen runs ads for CW shows, and when that's over, the phone displays tweets from CW's Twitter account. Mashable got their hands on a copy of the magazine, and during the teardown, discoved a full QWERTY keyboard, a T-Mobile SIM card, a camera, and a USB port for charging. The screen is 2.3″ corner to corner, and doesn't respond to touch.
