What would be a good prize for my 3rd gen iPhone poll?

[Justin]

I'm going to be creating the poll for the 3rd gen iPhone on my Apple website soon and since this will be one of the bigger polls of 2009 I wanted to get some ideas for a prize besides a $50 gift card.

All ideas (crazy or not) are welcome, but since this comes out of my pocket a new Mac Pro probably won't make the cut

UPDATE
Poll has been launched with a prize of a new 3rd gen iPhone

when will 3rd generation iPhone be released? | When Will Apple?

What's your prize spending limit?

That's a good question. I haven't come up with a concrete number. Just wanted to get some ideas and if something really stuck out for a lot of people then I would think about it even it was a bit more than I wanted to spend.

But I guess I don't really want to spend more than like $200-300 bucks. If something is really cool that would be a good prize and is $100 that would be even better

iPod Nano or iPod Touch should do it then!

One of those iHome/iClock devices (plays music/alarm/clock/charge). Just make sure it's compatible with the 3G. They run around $150, give and take. I would love one of those.

I would say a variety of cases and accessories. Including a SwitchEasy case maybe.

I'm ignorant here. What is this POLL, how does it work, and how does one try to win the prize? And I'm rooting for the new 17 Macbook

It's a fun apple blog site I started back in April of last year. Me and my friend / biz partner hit a lull in our web dev business and were bored waiting for the iPhone to be released. We all know Apple is so secretive about their product releases it would be fun to have people vote when they thought the iPhone 3g would be released. This idea kind of evolved into the blog site it is now. We then decided to start giving away prizes to whoever was able to guess the correct dates of various polls.

For example this is the newest poll about the next iPhone firmware release date
when will iPhone 2.3 firmware (or next version) be released? | When Will Apple?

Yeah, aren't we all

Thanks for the clarification. Sounds like fun. I'll check out your poll.

Thanks for the feedback everyone!

I'm leaning towards giving away a new 3rd gen iPhone as the prize for the 3rd gen iPhone poll...go figure. That would be the prize listed, but will be delivered via Apple Store (iPhone) gift card up to $200 value. So that will also allow someone that doesn't want an att contract to put it towards an iPod touch.

Still need to discuss with my partner in crime on WWA, but seems like a good prize considering the poll. $200 is a pretty big chunk of change, but hopefully in the future I can find some suckers...er "advertisers" to sponsor the big polls

What do you guys think?
