I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, you’ve gotta love a bargain, right! I found this application over at WMPoweruser, last week, but had to try it before I’d post it for general consumption. It’s called Group SMS, it’s from an independent developer, and it adds the ability to send group SMS/MMS messages on WinMo Phones.

It’s simple, easy to use, and doesn’t take a lot of time to set up.

Last night, Thomas sent me a list of the winners from this contest so far.  And it just about blew my mind looking at how many prizes we have given away so far.  And we are not even close to wrapping this thing up (well, maybe kinda close).  But we still have an awful lot of fantastic prizes left to give away.  Starting with today’s prize, which includes a copy of DDH HanDBase and any program from Fizz Software’s growing library.  So, who will win these amazing prized?  Let me gaze into the magic prize bowl and see which names float to the surface:

Brandon, Tekipaq, and Jordan Hanna.

Congrats to our winners.  Watch for an email coming soon,.  If you did not win, don’t worry, we will have plenty more prizes coming.  And if you have not entered yet…well, what the heck are you waiting for?  Just hit this link and leave a comment.

There have been rumors and discussions all over the web about ‘the future of the Zune’.   Everyone has been crying that the Zune is dead, and MS is giving up.  Well, my fellow Zune fans do not be worried, because the Zune is here to stay.  This confirmation comes straight from MS, in the form of Adam Sohn, head of MS Zune Marketing Division.

“Basically, what happened last week, Steve [Ballmer] said a couple of things about the category,” said Adam Sohn, head of Microsoft’s Zune marketing division, causing speculation that Microsoft would stop making Zunes. However, he clarified, “we’re not getting out of the hardware business at all,” adding that Microsoft is “deeply committed” to continuing to its Zune hardware strategy.

In the near future, you will still be able to enjoy your Zune experience.  I also believe we will see the Zune software appear on other devices.  MS has already mentioned that it wants to integrate it in with the Xbox and Windows Media Center.  I don’t believe we will ever see a true Zune Phone, but we will see the Zune software run all of the media applications for Windows Mobile.  I am also holding out for the possibility for a ‘touch Zune’.  The first reason is that, well, I just really want one.  However, I think if MS could find a way to integrate the Xbox into the Zune, than that would be one awesome portable media/gaming device.  I can’t believe that MS hasn’t noticed all the money both Nintendo is raking in with the DS, and Apple is raking in with the iPod Touch/iPhone.  I guess we will just have to wait and see.

Another day, another prize — and so it goes here at JAMM until we run out of things to give away. Today’s prize is something I am particularly psyched about because I use it every day. Riddle me this: what’s invisible, shields, and is made of polyurethane?

Oh, you’re so clever! Of course it’s ZAGG’s InvisibleShield, and the following folks are going to be getting one each (for any device): DarkCorner, fireman54, and James.

Congrats! You won’t really see the shield protecting your device, but rest assured it will be nigh invulnerable to scratches. I’m using one on my PSP Slim and on my iPhone 2G right now, and I simply love having the extra protection. So keep an eye out for the e-mail we’ll be sending you soon.

For the rest of you: JOIN CONTEST HERE!

Some of you may recall that I have a long relationship with these killer cannon games.  I first played them way, way, way back on my Apple II+.  Back then it was called Scorched Earth.  the graphics were pretty simple, but the basics of gameplay were already being formed.  The game went through a myriad of iterations since then, and I caught back up with it on Windows Mobile, where it has been expertly remade as Atomic Cannon – one of my very first reviews here at JAMM.  So, now, the game has crossed back into Apple’s realm, showing up in the iTunes App Store under the name iShoot.  And how does it compare?  Let’s take a look.
