Domain buyers and registrants hold up. Maybe you can get something extra when you register the domain of your choice over at Domainmonster.com. Domainmonster.com and DotAsia Registry announced today that they will be holding a special promo where free 2GB micro USB drives for every new .asia domain name purchased for 2 years or more.

Measuring just 15 x 25 x 4mm deep, the Domainmonster.com branded USB drive is only a fraction larger than a quarter dollar or 50 Euro cent coin, making it ultra portable.

This new marketing gimmick is obviously to help entice sales for the .asia domain. And while many people are not that keen yet, preferring the .com extension, if you will get this freebie then why not?

“This is typically innovative of the DotAsia Registry”, said Matt Mansell, CEO, Domainmonster.com. “What better way to embrace the innovation and pace that the Asia Pacific region has to offer, than give away such a must have product with their regional top level domain”, continued Mansell.

This new app is a new marketing channel and great attraction for consumers who love freebies. Sounds familiar? It does sound like a business-model type scenario but it is really like making both ends meet. The new app is the DreamWalkMobile.com, a “mobile treasure hunt” that offers exciting benefits to both advertisers and consumers.

DreamWalk enables advertisers to place real prizes, samples and giveaways at GPS locations on the global DreamWalk prize map for mobile phone users to collect. Prize points positioned on the DreamWalk map also double as interactive advertisements. Mobile phone users can claim their prizes directly from the retail locations being advertised.

The new DreamWalk application is ideal for business owners and advertising executives who want low-cost, measurable ads that target consumers in a fresh way. DreamWalk offers spam-free advertising, free online statistics, and free account registration. In addition, the web site is giving $25 in free DreamWalk credits to everyone who signs up for an account.

In what many call as a sign of things to come, Sprint employees have reportedly started training on the Palm Pre, a development many foresee as the imminent release of the highly anticipated mobile device.

The Palm Pre is rumored to be released somewhere between April and May and if this factor is to be considered for the developmental stages of the Palm Pre then perhaps we may see the launch of this phone.

All the rumors and speculations of a mid-April/late April/May launch of the Palm Pre doesn’t appear to be too far of a stretch. Stated in an email from Sprint, “Employees can expect training to start in April as well as multiple communications to get them excited and ready to help our customers.” I was wondering if the training has begun — so I asked for a confirmation on that thought.

“I would like to inform that Sprint is in the process of providing the training for the new Palm Pre. Once it’s launched, Sprint will be ready to serve their valued customers regarding the Palm Pre.”

The fact that Sprint employees are already training up on the Palm Pre, pretty much implies that the release date of the Pre should be near. On top of that, early this week, Sprint began getting the word out about the Pre with their new marketing campaign.
