Gadgets don't come cheap, and with rumors that Apple will be releasing the new iPad soon, many people are wondering how they can get a iPad 2 for free. Well, the answer will be revealed below, so grab a drink, relax and read on. Insider secrets ahead.
Ever Heard Of Product Testing?
If you haven't don't worry. The majority of consumers are not aware that before a company launches a product, they enlist the help of the public to test the product extensively. This testing feedback is then used to tweak and modify the product before it is released proper on the market.
Companies like Apple spend millions into developing what we see on our shelves as a finished Mac or iPad 2. A large chunk of this product development budget is testing. And this is how you come in. You see apple doesn't interface directly with the public when seeking testers. Instead it uses a series of third party providers to access and vet potential testers for the product.
What Does Testing Involve?
The testing process doesn't involve any complicated programming or disassembling of the actual product. All that happens is that you get to 'try' the ipad 2 for free. You give feedback in return for trying out the product. Typically they'll look for feedback dealing with software and program efficiency - basically does the product do what it says on the tin. The best part is, you end up getting to own a free ipad 2.
The third party providers are the important part of the puzzle - or you at least. Get involved with the wrong company and you'll be faced with frustration. In fact, there are companies that are even charging people to let them become ipad 2 testers, which needless to say is a scam, and should be avoided.
Scams To Avoid
There are many but the chief one is the collecting of fees as I alluded to above. Other sites will ask you to surrender lots of personal information before you are able to join the program. Both these type of providers are to be avoided, and it is important to let you know that both legitimate and illegitimate companies engage the public via a website.
The iPad 2 should be out soon, so at this stage of market penetration, there will be lots of good opportunities out there for you to get a free ipad 2. Once we find some legitimate websites, we'll post the info.
