If you're looking for an elegant and stylish way to carry around your Pocket PC (or other mobile device, for that matter), you owe it to yourself to take a look at what <a href="http://www.noreve.com/index.html"> Norêve St. Tropez</a> has to offer. Their line of fine leather cases encompasses just about every mobile device type, leather color and texture imaginable. <br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/noreve.jpg" /> <br /><br />Norêve makes leather cases for Pocket PCs and PDAs, mobile phones, MP3 players, PMPs, cameras, laptops and even gaming devices, so it's hard to imagine ANYTHING that gadget lovers like you and I carry around that Norêve can't wrap in color-coordinated leather. Norêve's prices are pretty darn reasonable, too...<br /><br /><b>...and </b>for Pocket PC Thoughts readers, they just got, um, "reasonable-er!" The folks at Norêve are sponsoring a great giveaway that's going to give each of five lucky Thoughts readers a gift voucher worth <b>45 Euro</b>! Here's what you have to do to enter this giveaway (and pay attention, because the rules are a little more involved this time): <!><br /><br />• Visit the <a href="http://www.noreve.com/index.html"> Norêve St. Tropez Web site </a> <i>(No, that's not the "involved" part.)</i>.<br />• Send an e-mail to <span style="color:red"><b>"pocketpcthoughts-AT-noreve-DOT-com."</b></span><br />• In the e-mail <b>SUBJECT </b>line, include the correct answers to ALL of these questions about Norêve and its products:<br /><br /><span style="color:darkblue"><b>--What is the nationality of the Norêve brand?</b></span><br />a – Swedish<br />b – American<br />c – French<br />d – Italian<br />e – Archenlandian<br /><br /><span style="color:darkblue"><b>--St. Tropez has been called the "Miami of Europe," but is it also...?</b></span><br />a – a big city<br />b – a small village<br />c – an island<br />d – the "Toledo of Australia"<br /><br /><span style="color:darkblue"><b>--How many different leather colors does Norêve offer?</b></span><br />a – 3<br />b – 9<br />c – 10<br />d – 14<br />e – pi<br /><br /><span style="color:darkblue"><b>--What is the newest and latest color offered by Norêve?</b></span><br /><i>[Clue: It was just announced this week.]</i><br />a – Olive green<br />b – Purple<br />c – Red<br />d – Sandy Vintage<br />e – 42<br /><br />• Make ABSOLUTELY sure that your answers in the subject line <span style="color:red"><b>appear in the format: a/b/c/d</b></span> <i>(And, no, those are NOT necessarily the correct answers.)</i><br />• Post your e-mail message <b>NO LATER THAN </b>11:59PM GMT on Wednesday, January 31, 2007.<br /><br />And, finally:<br /><br />• The five winners will be randomly selected from among all entries that contain ALL FOUR correct answers.<br />• You may enter only ONCE; readers who submit multiple entries will be required adhere to standard "jinx, you owe me a Coke" rules.<br />• As a concluding wrinkle to these very unique rules, whining <b>WILL </b>be allowed, just this once...but not to me.<br /><br /><span style="color:blue"><b>Have fun, and good luck!</b></span><br /><br /><b><span style="color:red">UPDATE:</span> The winners have been selected! </b>Of the five, though, only two -- <b><i>skoff </i>and <i>Perry R.</i></b> -- used e-mail addresses that are registered with Pocket PC Thoughts.
