App Wait-a-Thon: Win $100 in iTunes Gift Cards
Everybody here at the iPhone Blog is very, very excited about the iPhone SDK Roadmap. We can't wait for native apps, for more functionality, for games, for Apple to go after BlackBerrys. We can't wait - seriously - it's going to kill us waiting until "Late June" for all this good stuff. We've called in a team of psychiatrists, it's not looking good.
We bet you feel the same way.
So to help ease the pain we're instituting the iPhone Blog App Wait-a-Thon! Starting next week and then every week until Apple releases the iPhone 2.0 Software Update, we are going to give away a $100 iTunes Gift Certificate to a lucky reader.
You may not be getting your native apps now, but at least your can download some emo music to drown your sorrows, or a Pixar movie to cheer you up, or the first three seasons of LOST1 to help remind you that it's not that bad.
Here's how it will work: Sometime during the week, two to three of our blog postings, articles, or reviews will have "Wait-a-Thon" after the title, that's your cue to comment on that entry. Comment on that entry and you'll be automatically entered in that week's drawing. (Just one entry per post counts, max three per week).
The latest Wait-a-Thon post is always available here<a.>. Just take a look over next to the Wait-a-Thon contest graphic!
Full details after the break!
Them Details:
- Open to everybody who has an iTunes store in their country (Yes, Mods too!)
- One entry per "Wait-a-thon" post counts, but feel free to post as much as ya like!
- No cheating on the referrals, we're watching and we know.
- Contest will run each week until "Late June" or whenever Apple releases the iPhone 2.0 software update. Yes - if Apple's late we'll keep it running. This is a Wait-a-Thon, after all.
- We'll announce the previous week's Wait-a-Thon winner in the next week's first Wait-a-Thon posting.
- You can win no more than twice.
1: Has anybody seriously considered the Apple angle with all the stuff that's been happening on LOST? That satellite phone was iPhone-esque... Is Steve Jobs Alvar Hanzo? Or did he perhaps spend his early days studying with the DeGroots? Think about that: timeline fits, his counter-culture experimentation fits, ...it all fits!
There are 65 comments. Add yours.
Hopefully with this gift certificate I'll be able to download enough music and movies to keep me busy until the new 3G iPhone drops!!
Or instead of buying/renting movies and music you could wait and buy iPhone apps upon the 2.0 release
I like the idea and I REALLY can't wait for the Apple upcoming announcements and releases.
Yay I want $$ :D
I am so excited, I can't wait for the new iPhone!!! Best thing since sliced bread!!
Sweet contest.
Waiting for the new iPhone is cruel torture.
I've had the countdown widget since about 2 or 3 weeks ago...finally I see a single digit in the days column!
Longest. Month. Ever.
I am hoping it will have some curve to it. Easier to rest in your hands. But either way, I can't wait for it.
I can't wait to see it. o the glory. Winning would be awesome too, of course.

I won and my name was announced above the April 10th posts but I have not received anything or heard from anyone. What's the story guys? Hope you read this for I don't know how to contact anyone.

Apparently iTunes only lets you buy a certain number per day. I'll try to put yours and a few others in later this afternoon.
