What could be better than relaxing in the pool this summer? How about swimming to your favorite tunes? We first saw the H20 audio case and headphones at Macworld, soaking in a tub of bubbling water (see our pic in the gallery). Now you've got a chance to win the 3rd-gen nano-sized waterproof case and matching waterproof headphones for yourself. Both are waterproof up to 10 feet. As a bonus, we're throwing in a ifrogz ibagz case that'll fit pretty much any other flavor of iPod. The ifrogz case isn't waterproof, but it is water resistant and is perfect for taking your tunes to the beach without worries of getting sand in your teensy jukeboxes.
There will only be one winner in this giveaway, and they will receive all three items (courtesy our friends at Dr. Bott).
To enter, leave a comment on this post (and verify the comment so it appears on the page).
The comment must be left before Monday, May 5 11:59pm Eastern Time.
You may enter once.
One winner will be selected in a random drawing.
The winner will receive: ifrogz ibagz (retail $4), H20 Audio's waterproof housing for iPod nano 3G (retail $80), H20 Audio's H3 waterproof headphones (retail $50).
Whether you've got a significant other who deserves something awesome for Valentine's Day, or you're just celebrating a certain Mac blogger's birthday, here's your chance for some free loot. We're giving away one of each of the following, courtesy Dr. Bott:
Marware Protection Pack Plus for 15" MacBook Pro
MacBook BookEndz Docking Station (13")
12" iBook laptop case (red) from Melissa Beth designs
One pack of 3 Rubi silicone cases for the iPhone from MCA (black, clear, pink)
One clear Sport Grip for the iPod Touch from Marware
That means five people will win something, so please indicate your preference (trust us, the iBook case won't fit your 17" MBP and I couldn't get it to fit a 13" MacBook) in the comments. Again, to be clear, we've got ONE of each prize, for a total of five prizes, to be given to five individuals-- winning doesn't mean you get everything listed above. Got it? Great. Full details below.
To enter, leave one comment on this post and validate it (one entry per person, but you may indicate as many preferred prizes as you like in that one comment).
The comment must be left before February 10, 11:59 PM Eastern Time.

Five winners will be selected in a random drawing.
Prizes: Clear Sport Grip ($15), MCA cases ($20), Protection Pack ($35), Melissa Beth 12" case ($150), BookEndz 13" ($160)
One item in our loot from Macworld was a shiny new (though now slightly ruffled from the flight) MacBook Air poster. You want it? Sure thing, just leave a comment and validate. It may be the closest some of us will get to a real MacBook Air, until 2011, when all MacBooks adopt the same form factor, naturally.

One winner will be selected in a random drawing.
The one winner will receive a MacBook Air poster, worth whatever is being fetched on ebay, because you can't buy this thing anywhere.

This morning I finally shipped out the first round of swag-bag winners from our Talkcasts. Congratulations to those who called in, I hope you enjoy your junk prizes. Unfortunately our pre-Macworld t-shirt winners wound up with their t-shirts handed out at Macworld, and those were the very last of our version 1.0 TUAW t-shirts. Time and budgets will tell if we make more. Instead, I shipped the folks who responded to my winner emails some goodies courtesy Dr. Bott.
And speaking of Dr. Bott, they've been generous enough to provide a big bag (or two) of goodies from the likes of Griffin, Marware, H20 Audio, ifrogz and othercoolmanufacturers. So be on the lookout for more giveaways-- my wife won't let me keep this stuff lying around the house forever! (Hint: we've got an extra MacBook Air poster hidden away)
I'd also like to thank Equinux for the copies of Coverscout and Mail Stationery Packs, plus some show swag, which is also making its way out to you lucky readers.
We're kicking off a few weeks of giveaways with a little bit of Macworld swag from Ambrosia Software. If you didn't attend Macworld, now's your chance to pretend you stopped by the Ambrosia booth anyway (for the full experience be sure to watch our interview with founder Andrew Welch too).
What's in the box? A WireTap Studio t-shirt (XL), a WireTap Studio pin, and a DVD with trial versions of all Ambrosia apps. Basically what you see in the image to the right. Not bad, considering all you have to do is leave a comment on this post (be sure to check your email and validate the comment so it appears). We'll leave comments and the giveaway open from now until Friday just before midnight (11:59 Eastern). Oh, this one is still just in the US, you gotta be 18, etc. Full rules after the jump.
Recap:
Ambrosia Macworld swag giveaway, prizes are a t-shirt, pin and DVD.
To enter, leave a comment on this post. If you're really cool you'll tell us your favorite Ambrosia app.
Comment must be left before January 25, 11:59PM Eastern time.
Three winners will be chosen, and their prizes shipped directly from Ambrosia.
Please don't go topless to Macworld. TUAW will be giving the rest of our t-shirts away next week, but for those of you who can't make it to Macworld 2008 still have a chance to win a shirt. Six lucky winners will receive a TUAW shirt in their choice of large, medium or small (sorry, XL is no longer available). If you forgot what the shirts look like, here's the gallery.
On to the rules: • To enter, leave a comment on this post (and validate it so it appears). • The comment must be left before 11:59pm EST. Contest ends at 11:59pm Eastern, January 8. • You may enter once. • Six winners will be selected in a random drawing. • Each winner will receive a TUAW t-shirt in their choice of Large, Medium or Small. One t-shirt per winner.
Don't forget, our weekly talkcast will be kicking it Wednesday style tonight at 9:30 pm ET. We'll be introducing TUAW's newest bloggers (ooo!), welcoming special guests (aah!) and giving away a couple of delightful prizes (wow!). You need to register for a Talkshoe PIN prior to the show, so go ahead and do that now. We'll wait. Might as well download the Gizmo Project SIP client too; that way you can dial in to the show without paying SkypeOut or toll charges, or burning your cellphone minutes (you can always listen for free via the Talkshoe client, and if the stars align you can chat back with the embedded Shoephone VoIP tool).
Thanks to the fine folk at Embraceware, our two trivia contest winners tonight will receive licenses for Awaken, the iTunes alarm clock tool, at the end of the show. Awaken is also up on MacZot today at a $5 discount, if you don't trust your Mac trivia mojo. Besides, if you buy a license now, you can set your alarm so you remember to join the talkcast! See how it all fits together?
Bruno Fernandes of Twisted Melon software has an offer for you: get educated about the problems facing our world today, and get free software for it. He recently saw The 11th Hour, a film produced and narrated by Leonardo Dicaprio about global issues in 2007, and was so affected by it that, like the New York Times, he considers it "essential viewing."
And he wants to give his program, Mira, to the first 50 people who go see the movie and send him a scan of their tickets. Mira usually runs $15.95, so depending on the theater you go to, you'll probably be saving a few bucks on a pretty good Apple Remote application.
Love it or hate it, a free iPhone is hard to resist. Maybe if it hadn't been unlocked, or hacked, or unbricked there would be substantially less interest. Then again, a $600 lump of coal is still 600 Washingtons more than the guy next to you, so there's that. I'm not saying you iPhone haters should toss the thing on ebay the day you get it, but we understand some of you haven't bought into the whole "computers will inevitably get smaller" vibe. It's cool. OS X isn't for everyone either.
At any rate, today's prize is the big Kahuna: an 8 GB iPhone. To enter, leave a comment on this post between 5AM and 11:59PM EST on August 29. Validate the comment for it to qualify, and only one per person please. Full rules on our TUAW Back-to-School Giveaway page. Good luck and thanks for reading!
Unless you've been hibernating for the past six years, you've heard of our next prize: an iPod. Not a 1st-gen iPod with a janky mechanical scrollwheel and hidden Breakout game. Not a 2nd-gen iPod with handy FireWire port, or a 3rd-gen iPod with crummy battery. No, this skips the photo (4th-gen) and goes straight to video-- the very thing Steve once claimed people don't want. If you do want a video iPod, continue reading how to enter... To be clear, our prize today is a 5th-gen "video" iPod in the 80GB variety (you choose black or white).

Get 'em while they still exist in their current form factor: today's prize is an iPod nano. Again, you pick the color. The catch? Apple has to actually make a nano in the color you request. It was the same deal for yesterday's shuffle giveaway, sorry all you ColorWare fans.

You didn't think we'd have a giveaway and forget about our little buddy iPod shuffle, did you? Today's prize is just that: an iPod shuffle in the color of your choice. Oh, and another Ambrosia pack, of course. As you may already know, the shuffle is perfect for working out, and its sturdiness will serve you well if you happen to fall down (for reasons unknown).

Another weekday, another prize. Today's giveaway is a baseball cap with the Apple logo on it (and an Ambrosia pack). A black cap, the flex-fit variety, suitable for wearing on one's head. Seeing as how quite a few college students like to wear these things, we hope today's prize will find a good home.

Day Four off to a late start for our East Coast readers, but just in time for the West. Today's prize is the Apple logo lunchbox. A pleasant and utilitarian affair, this lunchbox likely doubles as a handy defensive weapon if needed. Bring your own thermos, there's none inside.
To enter today's giveaway leave a comment on this post. Contest entry period is 5AM-11:59PM PST on August 16. Same rules as before, all described on out TUAW giveaway page. Good luck!
Today's prize: a pen in black with the Apple logo. Whatever you do, don't make notes on your iPhone with this thing. Use it with the meatspace Stickies app you can find at your local office supply store. To sweeten the pot we've got a clever t-shirt of your choice from Insanely Great Tees and a mystery prize for today's winner.
Same deal as yesterday: enter by leaving a comment on this post. Again, limited to the 50 US states, you must be 18 (or over) and only one entry per person per day, please. Each day we'll open a new post for comments from 5AM-11:59PM. To enter, leave a comment on the post (make sure it appears, check your email).
