In a bid to promote their UK online backup service, Mozy have put together a great promotional video which sees computer users on the streets of London given the opportunity to get a free new macbook. However, there is a catch. Well to get their new laptop they have to smash their current laptop up, right there on the spot.

The promotional video highlights just how valuable users’ data is and how the majority of computer users would decline the offer because they don’t have back up of their precious photos, documents, music etc.

The aim to promote their backup packages which costs as little as $4.95 per month for unlimited back up of your photos, music, files, etc.

Click here is the promotional video for Mozy.

A group of La Crosse middle school students are to make their national acting debut.

The Federal Law Enforcement Training Centre chose La Crosse to shoot their national G.R.E.A.T promotional videos.

Fifteen of the young actors from Longfellow Middle School teamed up with the La Cross police force to create the promotional videos.

When produced and edited, the promotional video will then be distributed nationally to help promote the G.R.E.A.T programme.

“We are doing some video of scenes like before and after, what the need for the programme is and hopefully, what can be gained by having the programme in the community,” says Officer Andy Dittman, La Crosse Police Department.

The video crew filmed throughout the week and plan to complete the video in early September.

This cool promotional video by Verizon can only be seen at Verizon’s retail stores; however we have found access to it on YouTube.com.

Verizon Wireless revealed a Droid successor dubbed the Droid X at a New York Event on June 22^nd 2010, the day before the massive launch of the iPhone 4.

The press conference was smooth sailing except for the small kafuffle which saw Verizon’s retail staff prevent a Silicon Valley Insider journalist from filming a size comparison between the Droid X and iPhone 4.

The featured promotional video was shown to journalists at the conference highlighting the key features of the Droid X, including its 4.3 inch capacitive touch screen in 16:9 format, a 1GHz Texas Instruments processor, a dual-flash eight megapixel camera with HD capture, 720p playback via HDMI, home electronics syncing with DLNA, the ability to turn the phone into a wire hotspot for up to five WiFi devices, and more.

Here’s a sneaky peak at the promotional video of the new Droid X here.

Apple’s iPhone 3GS has generated a record amount of praise from technology enthusiasts and smartphone users. The record-setting device has sold more units than any other smartphone, rivalled only by Apple’s previous iPhone releases. But with 2010 underway and new technology looming on the horizon, it appears Apple could be retiring the 3GS in favour of a more tech-friendly mobile.

Leaked information from Apple’s developer kit suggests the ability to record in 720P HD mode, a blessing for iPhone users tired of the device’s relatively limited video recording capabilities. The recording upgrade would put the new iPhone on par with leading mobile video recorders, expanding Apple’s influence into another popular market.

While most users are interested in the device’s potential for digital video production, the developer community appears excited at the new iPhone’s ability as an augmented reality device. Mapping and navigation apps have been popular on the GPS-enabled iPhone 3GS – with added resolution and recording quality, many developers believe we could move one step closer to lifelike mobile worlds and mapping environments.

The release date, design, and specifications of the new iPhone are currently unknown. Industry analysts believe Apple will release further information later this year at a special press event.

In August 2009, the Business Insider website reported an alarming trend for website owners and digital content producers: smartphones were on track to overtake traditional computers in sales within two years. Analysts believe that by 2011 the technology industry will be split between mobile browsers and PC-based internet browsers, with each accounting for half of all ‘net users.

While advertising platforms have prepared themselves for the change – Google now offers its popular Adsense program for mobile publishers – a large number of online video production companies have not. Websites supported by video are often unavailable on mobile platforms, Apple’s iPhone the chief example, leaving a large amount of potential advertising revenue untouched and as-of-yet unattainable.

There’s little doubt that mobile browsers will forever change online video, but slightly more on exactly how they’ll do so. YouTube’s answer to the lack of suitable advertising has been swift and simple – mobile applications for the website often fail to include copyrighted videos altogether.

However, we like to believe that web developers are still a step ahead of their media mogul counterparts. As advertising platforms adapt to mobile users and aim to monetize traffic that’s on-the-go, website operators will refine and optimize their own interactive video to the same degree.
