As part of the countdown, Apple is giving away an iPod® mini and an iTunes gift card for 50 songs to the iTunes customer who purchases the winning song at each 100,000 interval. The person who downloads the 500 millionth song will win the grand prize—10 iPods of their choice to share with family and friends, an iTunes gift card for 10,000 songs and an all-expenses paid trip for four to see Coldplay on their world tour."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/500milliontop20050705.jpg" /><br /><br />Nice prize bundle. Even if your chances of winning are remote! ;)
