In an attempt to renew some interest in our True IT Blooper contest, we've upped the ante a bit with a slick prize for the October/November round -- an iRiver SlimX iMP-350 CD/MP3 Player! And to sweeten the deal, we're throwing in a pack of 5 700 MB CD-Rs! Quit fiddling with small storage capacities -- the iRiver can play MP3 files that you've burned (you can fit roughly 175 MP3s onto a CD-R), as well as normal audio CDs. It even has an FM tuner! For a detailed prize description, and to submit your own blooper through our tip forum, follow the link below. With any luck, you'll be in portable MP3 bliss in no time.
