I just got this in my e-mail, and I would like to share with you..

With the upcoming release of iOS 5, the iPhone will be able to do more than ever. But one thing you probably didn't know it can do is earn you some extra cash.
Here are three examples of ways to make money with your iPhone.
Gigwalk. Gigwalk is a free app that can get you started making money in about five minutes. Simply install it from the iPhone store, complete a brief registration, and you're off to work.
Gigwalk uses your iPhone's GPS receiver to show you nearby "jobs." A typical job in Gigwalk may involve visiting a restaurant and taking pictures of the menu, photographing red-light cameras at a specific intersection, or buying a beer and noting whether the clerk asked for ID. These jobs typically pay between $3 and $10.
Not all tasks are paying. Some give you "streetcred" points, and others require streetcred points to access them -- a way of rewarding diligent Gigwalkers with exclusive jobs. But of the nonpaying jobs I've seen, you'll probably be doing something like picking up trash to beautify a park. From an environmental standpoint, there are worse things you could be doing with your time.
Gigwalk isn't yet available everywhere, but if you live in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, South Florida, New York City, Boston or Philadelphia, you're in luck. Payments are sent through PayPal.
