the air

A couple months ago, I ran a contest that was giving away a free Amazon.com gift certificate. I ran the contest to increase my blog’s visibility and also grab a few new readers. Did it work? It worked out nicely, but there is always room for improvement. This time around, I found another great contest being run by Danielle on her blog site. She is giving away a brand new 30GB Zune that she won from John Chow, who won it in another contest. Yes, this Zune has been passed around a few times, but it appears to still be in mint condition. From what I gather, one of John Chow’s friends opened the Zune to simply review it but nothing more. In addition, Danielle has said that the Zune is still in its box since the day she received it from John.

The Good Zune

Contrary to what many people think, the Zune is actually a pretty good personal digital audio player. Considering this is Microsoft’s first attempt to take on the venerable Apple iPod, it is a pretty good shot. A couple of my friends have the Zune and they really love it. One of them even migrated from the iPod to the Zune. It definitely has a few “clinks” that Microsoft needs to work on, but it is a great competitor. Besides, why pay $250 for a brand new Zune when you can win one from Danielle? Just to throw a small teaser out there, I wonder if Danielle is going to pay for the shipping charges?
