The winner of the Comment Contest for the iPod classic sent us a nice letter and sweet pic of his new iPod. 

The day after winning the most complicated contest ever, my well worn iPod nano bit the dust. What luck, considering that I haven't won anything since that Hershey bar in grade school! Gone are the days of figuring out what to music to bring and what to leave at home. This thing is great!

Thanks Mac|Life!

Touch screen?!?! Come on, who wants their greasy fingers all over their iPod. Frankly, it can be downright disgusting. A swipe here, a tap there, next thing you know you got a slimy iPod mess. So lets go old skool with this week's comment contest, with an 80GB iPod classic.

All you have to do is post a comment in this article to win your very own iPod classic. That's it! The comment can be as long or as short as you like – one word will do!

Rules after the jump.

Maybe you just don't have the expendable cash to blow on a new iPhone 3G. Maybe you're waiting for some of back-to-school sale. Whatever your reason, forget it right now. Because we're giving away one free iPhone 3G to a lucky survey taker.

It's pretty simple, you take a survey and we enter you into the contest to take home a new iPhone 3G. That's it!

So cross your fingers, take the survey and imagine a bold new world of location based social interaction.
