Over the coming year, we'll be giving away free Socket Communications swag each month. To enter, simply submit the source code for a useful and valid .NET Compact Framework code snippet or control at www.innovativedss.com/forums.

At the end of the month, I'll select one winner and contact them (meaning you need to make sure your registered email in the forums is valid!). The winner can select *one* of the following Socket products, which will be shipped to them direct from Socket:

* 10/100 Ethernet CF Card
* 56K CF Modem Card
* Bluetooth CF Connection Kit
* Digital Phone Card
* Low Power WLAN CF Card
* Ruggedized Low Power Ethernet CF Card

Basically I'm trying to throw out a carrot to get the community to put forth code the rest of us can use. I'll be accepting submissions as of today.

Unfortunately my Contact at Socket Communications has been transferred to a different area, and I no longer have the opportunity to get hardware for giveaways. This means that the giveaway promotion will be suspended until we find another company willing to provide us free stuff.

If your company would like to participate and provide us producsts to give away, we will provide you a free banner ad on what is probably the most visited Compact Framework resource site on the web.

I would like to thank all who participated and I hope that code submissions continue.
