Now here’s some good marketing. Red Bend, creator of an over-the-air firmware updating solution, have bastardized Paul Simon’s classic “50 Ways to Lose Your Lover” to suit their own nefarious purposes. To be fair, “Nifty Way to Get an Upgrade” is pretty clever. Here’s a sampling from the chorus:
Don’t take the phone back, Jack
Don’t get a new plan, Stan
Don’t need a decoy, Roy
Just set yourself free
Don’t throw it under the bus, Gus
You don’t need to wait too much
Don’t use your PC, Lee
FOTA will set you free
Some platforms, like BlackBerry, already have over-the-air firmware updates built in, but plenty of others need a little help from third parties like Red Bend. In any case, very cute song, worth checking out. Anyone else have any phone-related tunes to share?
