<img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/CIMG0658.JPG" /> <br /><br />You saw the review earlier today, now we're giving it away! Just post a comment in the thread telling us how you'd use the i-Control if you had one. We'll randomly pick a winner from all the replies at noon on Friday. Unfortunately due to shipping problems in the past, we're going to limit this one to North America. Good luck!

Well, for one thing, I'd use it as a watch :) since I don't have one right now (I'm sort of between watches right now). I would love to have this so that I had an easy way to control my iPod when I am active (mowing the lawn, walking, working out) so I wouldn't have to fiddle with taking it out of my pocket, etc. Also, it would be great for traveling; I have a SeV coat and would love to be able to change tracks, etc without taking my iPod out of my pocket (just finding it can be a major challenge in that coat :) )

Well like the commenter above, I kind of need a watch. My last one died a few weeks ago. Secondly I'd like to try it out with my iPod for workouts. It looks like its not perfect based on your review, but I'd like to give it a try anyway.

The green definitely will make a statement. Not sure what statement, but it will make one regardless :D

Thanks for the opportunity!

Oooo! Pick me!

You know what I want to use this for? For cross country skiing this winter! I presume that my Nike+ system would not work in XC skiing movement, even with calibration, so this would be cool, and allow me to not have to dig out the nano each time i want to adjust.

I've got to get on a winter workout program of riding the bike indoors and using the good ol' treadmill. this would be the perfect compliment for doing it. And, maybe the motivation to actually do it. :D

I've been looking for something like this and almost got the Nike+ foot pod and armband. If I had this...no need to deal with the foot pod.

Daddy needs a new watch!

And daddy needs to exercise more too. This way I could control my iPod from my watch while I'm on the elliptical trainer or the bike.

this seems like a nice gadget to take on my runs

Take on my runs as well and hopefully lose more of the summer BBQ pounds I gained. :oops:

Not going to lie here. As the guy that always has the latest gadgets, I would show this off to the neighbors and co-workers as the must have iPOD accessory since most of them own one. After all, I'm the guinnea pig for new techno-toys so once I show them how great something is, then they go out and buy it! :lol:

I certainly need the watch, I need some more motivation to work out in the first place. It's really hard to get started. Any gadget would do, but a free would would do this poor man best!

Since I don't own an Ipod I'd either have to buy one or ,more than likely, give it to my nephew for Xmas.

It would give me incentive to buy that IPOD that I don't yet have, :roll: and then to use it on a revitalized running program, which i seem to have difficulty getting going..... :oops:

Like many I would use this during workouts and as an everyday watch. My current watch is a cheap one that is held together by superglue, some of which isn't holding. I am in the Army, so green would work with my geranimals.

I need this:

1. as a new "sports" watch - for my gym workouts etc
2. as my son's soccer team coach - practice and game countdowns
3. to control my iPod as I do the above two. :)

I really want one ( for free; not $125 :roll: )

Okay, noon has come and gone, and I've picked a winner at random (using the random number function in Excel): jmulder! Congrats, and look for a PM requesting your shipping info.

Thanks to all who entered, look for more giveaways in the near future!

I would use it as leverage to get my wife to let me buy an ipod!

If I win it would be the only reason to buy an i-pod
