The winner will get one of these 8GB Nanos.
For the holidays we've got something special in store for Crave giveaways: we're going daily instead of weekly. That's right, from now until Christmas, excluding weekends and holidays, we're giving away something every day and it's all really good stuff, including TVs, Netbooks, and cell phones.
To kick things off, we thought we'd go with something from Apple, and thanks to Target.com, we have an 8GB iPod Nano, which Target's online store has on sale for a few bucks less than Apple's list price--and it ships for free.
Normally, the 8GB iPod Nano fifth generation would cost you about $145, but you have the chance to get it gratis.
So, how do you try to win this 8GB iPod Nano? Let me enumerate the basic rules. Please read them carefully; there will be a test.

Ever since Apple launched the new iPhone 3GS, the older iPhone 3G has been going for $99 with a new two-year contract. Well, according to Boy Genius Report, there seem to be some indications that Apple may be about to bring out a new 8GB version of the iPhone 3GS that will take the place of the iPhone 3G and also cost $99.
Interestingly, BGR's source isn't AT&T but Rogers, a Canadian carrier, and a tipster sent the site some screenshots that seem to provide proof of the transition between models. None of this is confirmed, of course, but if AT&T (and other carriers like Rogers) offered an 8GB iPhone 3GS for $99, it would be another aggressive move by Apple in its quest to dominate the smartphone space. I'm not sure it spells doom for the $199 8GB Palm Pre, which is selling well, but it can't help its cause.
Comments? Is the 8GB iPhone 3GS at $99 a big deal?

Halloween is more than four months away, but Mimoco is getting an early jump with its latest designer USB drive. Unlike the Star Wars and game-themed Mimobots that usually get all the attention, the "RayD8" model isn't based on any celebrity; its design is basically just a skeleton, albeit one that glows in the dark. What's perhaps most significant about the flash drive, a limited edition created by designer Dino Alberto, is that it represents a new 8GB capacity available for all Mimobots. And perhaps its phosphorescence will help obviate the need for night-vision computing.
Nokia N81
(Credit: Nokia)Today, Nokia announced the global availability of its Nokia N81 multimedia computer, which also ships with a preview of the N-Gage gaming service. As you may or may not recall, the N81 is available in two versions--an 8GB model and one with a microSD expansion slot that can accept cards up to 4GB--and both are optimized for gaming and music. They are equipped with 3.5mm headphone jacks and dedicated game keys (when held in landscape position). And while the N-Gage service won't be available till later this year, the devices will come with playable demos of EA Sports' FIFA 07, Asphalt 3, Street Rules, and Space Impact Light. Other highlights include Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP support, Wi-Fi (802.11b/g), a 2.4-inch, 16 million-color QVGA screen, an FM tuner, and side-mounted dual stereo speakers. Unfortunately, looks like the quad-band phone won't work on our AT&T's 3G network.
Now, it wasn't clear whether the global release included the United States; we're trying to confirm this with Nokia. There are sites, including Nokia's U.S. Web site, that are listing the N81 but as "coming soon." Unlocked versions of the smartphones are going for about $599 for the 8GB version and $499 for the other model.
