Giveaway: Assorted Pocket PC Cases

[Jason Dunn]

I have a huge drawer full of cases that are in near-mint condition - I'll use a case for a day or two to get a feel for it, then do the review. I need to thin out my collection, and since I didn't contact Vaja or HandHeld Planet in time for this contest, let's just pretend they donated these. Here's what's up for grabs (sorry for the iPAQ-centric nature of these cases, but since I was an iPAQ user for so long, I tried a lot of iPAQ cases...) Pocket PC's not included. :wink:



1 - HandHeld Planet iPAQ 36xx/37xx case w/belt clip
2 - Vaja XDA case w/belt clip
3 - Vaja iPAQ 36xx + PCMCIA jacket case
4 - Vaja iPAQ 36xx custom case w/belt clip, with "Pocket PC Thoughts" written on the front (you'll be the envy of millions)
5 - Vaja HP 52x/54x old-school case (missing clip, has nobbie thingie)
6 - HandHeld Planet iPAQ 36xx case w/belt clip
7 - Handheld Planet HP 56x case

(side note: I think that any of the iPAQ 36xx cases above will also fit the 37xx series devices, though there may be a slight button alignment issue)

Number of items to be given away: Seven
Value of giveaway: $400
How do I win?: Riddle me this...(I've always wanted to say that)...in what year was I awarded my Microsoft MVP-hood? Ok, that's not a riddle, but humour me ok? :lol: Also tell me which case you want - we'll be doing this in a random drawing (give me multiple choices for the cases in case someone else gets the one you asked for). This is the last contest - we're done!

UPDATE: January 1st is over now, so all contests are being locked down. Winners will be selected and announced over the next few days. Thanks for playing!

1997.

#1, 4, 7.



Quoted from http://www.pdapro.co.uk/insideout.htm, "I spent a lot of time in the .windowsce newsgroup answering questions about the OS that I didn't even have yet, and my efforts were noticed by Microsoft. I was made an MVP in 1997, and the rest is history."

So, there you have it, from PDAPro.

Thanks so much for the contests PPCT guys, it was an awesome change and start for the New Year of 2003. Jason-I didnt know you were recognized from Microsoft. Dang. I guess you must have dissed older Palm OS, and must've gained a reputation
