Only one winner today, on this rainy weekend.  But it is a good one.  This one is for one of the lucky iPhone 3G users we have seen flooding into this contest.  Here is the thing with the iPhone 3G…you are going to want a good case for it.  But which one is best?  If only there were a way you could go out and buy all of the cases and give them a good test.  Well, that is exactly what we are going to give you.  A whole bevy of cases to try with your shiny new iPhone.  Go ahead and see which one you like best…or switch between them.  Included in this package, we have:

• Rivet Hard Leather Case for the iPhone 3G
• Speck Fitted Case for iPhone 3G
• OtterBox Impact Series for the iPhone 3G
• JAVOedge back case for the iPhone 3G

But that is not all.  We’ll also toss in the Cricket laptop stand (green) and the iDock for iPhone 3G with  audio/video out from usbfever.com

Now that is a lot of hardware.  And who is our lucky winner this time?  Let’s take a look:

So there I was at this cool Japanese hair salon with ridiculously hip Japanese people cutting hair and I heard this song over the speaker system. It’s absolutely manic and there are so many voices and instruments I wondered for just a second if it was some sort of “best riots of the 60’s” collection. But then something magical happened. The sounds started to coalesce and I started to hear music. Very loud, but very sweet music. That was how I got into Places Like This, the fourth album from the Australian band Architecture in Helsinki.

There are currently five members in the band, but I swear sometimes it sounds like five times that many. They all play multiple instruments and they even filmed one of their music videos on trampolines. ‘Nuff said. Their music sits somewhere in between manic and maniacal and they never fail to hype me up for things I really don’t want to do (I’m talking to you, homework).

See if you can find the album title in their cover art! It took me forever

So before you read this second look you’re going to want to take a look at Brandon’s recent review of the Z.buds.  In a rare JAMMcurrence we both happened to pick up the Z.buds, but Brandon was faster and slicker on the draw. He did a more than fantastic job of explaining every detail of these earbuds, but hit the jump anyway for a different set of thoughts and pics on ZAGG’s zany Z.buds.

OK.  Time for some honesty.  I got so caught up writing reviewed tonight (want a sneak preview…man does that Zune 120 have a lot of storage,) I almost forgot that we had to pick some winners tonight.  luckily, I remembered just before heading off to bed, because I think tonight’s prize pack will make a few folks very happy.    So…what is tonight’s prize?  Well, I can’t exactly tell you.  It is kind of a secret surprise.  OK.  the truth is, PPC Techs wouldn’t even tell me.  That is how top secret this prize is.  All I can tell you is that the folks at PPC Techs will be sending two winners a very nice package…very nice. 

So, let’s see who our winners are tonight:

Tanya and SPMWinkel.

Whilst we’ve all been astounded by the Palm news today, even the larger sites are praising Palm, and of course we are all overloaded by everything flooding out of CES. We seem to be forgetting, that quietly, in another corner of the United States, MacWorld is spinning quietly on its axis.

MacWorld hasn’t provided any stunning surprises, except for one jaw dropping rumour. A Quad Core processor for the iPhone. Somehow that makes me think of something like this

At the same time last year
