At the end of this podcast, I describe a new contest in which we’ll award prizes to listeners who contribute to future episodes. To win one of our four possible prizes, please send me a audio comment no longer than two minutes asking a question of a Macworld staffer or with some other rant or rave about our coverage or Mac-related news.
I’d prefer the audio file to be in AIFF format, mono at 128 kbps with as little background noise as possible. If you can’t or don’t know how to do that, do your best and we’ll pick our favorites.
We’re giving away a small number of each of these items:
- iTrip with Dock Connector
- iTrip for iPod Nano
- iTrip Auto
- Vaja leather iPod case (2 black, 2 pink)
If we use your audio comment on the show, then you will get your choice of one of the above prizes.
Good luck!
