			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was quite surprised by the low number of responses for the contest and I wonder if people just didn&#8217;t want an i-mate JAQ3, they didn&#8217;t want to do a little work for a US$500+ device, or there isn&#8217;t that many people that read my ZDNet blog. Anyways, I had 40 people send in their answers of which 35 of you actually got all 12 right. Good work everyone. I appreciate your kind comments and it sounds like most of you had a bit of fun finding all the keyboards.</p>
<p>I used a random number generator from www.random.org to select a number between 1 and 35 and then counted the emails from 1st received until last received. The winning number was 23 and that was Timothy&#8217;s number. I am sending an email to Timothy and will be shipping the JAQ3 out this week.</p>
<p>Thanks everyone for sending in responses. In the future, I&#8217;ll have to hold any giveaways here since ZDNet is still working out legal issues, etc.</p>
<p><strong>UPDATE: </strong>I posted the answers on ZDNet, but here they are for my blog readers too. Here were the devices that are associated with each keyboard:</p>
<div>1: BlackBerry 8700 (From Rogers in Canada)</div>
<div>2: Treo 700 (w or wx)</div>
<div>3: BlackJack (Samsung i607)<br />
4: HTC TyTN or Cingular 8525<br />
5: BlackBerry Pearl (or 8100)<br />
6: Sharp Zaurus SL-5500<br />
7: Nokia E61<br />
8: i-mate K-JAM (HTC Wizard/QTEK 9100)</div>
<div>9: T-Mobile Dash</div>
<div>10: i-mate JAQ3</div>
<div>11: Motorola Q</div>
<div>12: Treo 650</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I think quite a few people enjoyed my <a href="http://blogs.zdnet.com/mobile-gadgeteer/?p=270">i-mate JAQ3 first impressions article</a> and I personally found the device to be pretty decent. However, I am smitten with my T-Mobile Dash and just can&#8217;t give up it&#8217;s slim size and speedy response so I am giving away the JAQ3 to one lucky Mobile Gadgeteer reader. BTW, the i-mate JAQ3 currently runs Windows Mobile 5, but an update to Windows Mobile 6 should be available for JAQ3 owners in the next few months so you can get this and upgrade to WM 6 soon.</p>
<p>Since the device sells for over US$500 I am making this giveaway a bit challenging, but not impossible by any means. Simply visit the<strong> <a href="http://content.zdnet.com/2346-12553_22-55321.html">i-mate JAQ3 giveaway gallery</a></strong>, check out the photos of the 12 device keyboards, and then email me your answers to what devices those keyboards are found on. Send your email to me at palmsoloATgmailDOTcom with the words <strong>JAQ3 Giveaway</strong> in the subject line. If more than one person gets all 12 correct then those people will be entered into a random drawing for the i-mate JAQ3. This giveaway runs from 18 February until Saturday, 3 March. I&#8217;ll announce the winner on the 5th and ship out the device soon after.</p>
<p>I will ship the device to the winner anywhere in the world too so no one is excluded, but any local taxes or customs duties are the responsibility of the winner. The device is like brand new and was only used for about 20 hours. I don&#8217;t offer any type of warranty or anything, but the device is new from i-mate so you can always contact them if you have any problems in the future.</p>
<p><font size="1">Legal speak stuff: This is considered a promotional giveaway and not a contest and even if you consider it a contest I am meeting all the requirements of a contest as I found on Google from the State of California and other Google results. Google and the State of California have nothing to do with this contest and I am not responsible for your heartache or pain suffered if you do not happen to be drawn as the giveaway recipient. This is a free giveaway and does not require any payment or obligation from you. If you send in a response and don&#8217;t want to be considered, then let me know in advance of the giveaway ending. I will disclose what random number the generator chose and the first name of the recipient on this blog.</font></p>
