Pretty tempting, huh? Photo: LG

In an effort to attract phablet fans who might be holding onto their cash for Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Note 5, Verizon is offering customers a $100 Visa card when they pick up LG’s flagship G4.

We knew inline adverts were coming to Gmail’s mobile apps after Google added support for them in its latest Android update, and this week they’ve started appearing in users’ inboxes. Just like in Gmail on your desktop, the ads are displayed under the ‘Promotions’ tab and they cannot be turned off, but you can dismiss the ones you’re not interested in.

Google sent out an e-mail to all its Wallet customers last night, providing them with six different promotions that the team at Mountain View is currently running in conjunction with its partners.

I don’t know about you, but I spend a lot of time deleting spam messages from my inbox — despite using a junk mail filter. But the issue is about to get a whole lot worse, with Google gearing up to deliver adverts to our Gmail inboxes. The messages will appear under the new Promotions tab that was recently introduced in a Gmail update, and Google is testing them on a small number of users now.

Cloud storage service provider Box teamed up with LG a while back to offer up 50GB of free storage to those using LG phones and tablets in the U.S. running Android OS 2.1 and above (with display resolution of 320×480 or higher). Since that promotion doesn’t expire until December 31, 2012 and the Nexus 4 is an LG device, anyone in the US with a Nexus 4 is officially eligible for the free 50GB Box Personal account.
