Oh yes, that's what it is. They are simply lying about it even tho people around here actually have them from the radio station.

This isn't some crappy, hobo radio station guys - this one of (if not the largest) clear channel radio stations in the entire country. They had an entire security detail there at the station when they were giving these things away. What is so hard to believe about that? Radio stations get tons of crap before anybody else can buy it and they give them away. This station has PS3's before you buy them, XBox 360s, Wii, you name it, they had it. This is a huge business and if you're unaware the FCC actually has false advertisement restrictions so when you say "the brand new iPhone 3G that doesn't go on sale until the 11th of July" you can't give people a version 1 phone... Good grief...

Nope, did not happen. They were NOT giving away actual iPhone 3Gs. If you look at the rules on their site, they were giving away AT&T gift cards for the upcoming iPhone 3G and misleading the public by calling the contest "Win It Before You Can Buy It." Here's the link:

Good grief is right, you must have missed my post right above yours. You are either very ignorant or very gullible.
Umm, yes it is possible. They were giving away iPhone 3Gs and no it's not a scam. Are you kidding me???
It's one of the largest metropolitan areas in then entire country ya don't think that maybe, just maybe Apple wants to increase awareness in DFW by giving a few to the most popular station in the state of Texas?
I'd look it up for you but 1061KissFm is blocked here at work...
But no, it's not a scam, it's not the current generation and yes, it's 100% possible because it actually happened... *rolls eyes*
Well, I guess this means that they are going to release iTunes 7.7, iPhone Software 2.0, and the iPhone 3g simultaneously?
Wheww, that is brave. Servers will be LOCKED up.
Summarization: radio is dying, the iPod killed it, and it's laughable to suggest Apple needs radio to help them sell iPhones.
I wouldn't be so quick to declare radio dead - last time I checked your iPod doesn't give you traffic updates (I have an iPhone and no, google traffic is way behind compared to the radio updates), weather updates (again, iPhone, not really that great since it doesn't even give % chance of rain), news, etc. In fact I know of only 1 person who doesn't listen to the radio on their drive into work. Now most people don't sit around and listen to the radio when they are at home or listen to it at work - that's where the iPod excels but in terms of the daily commute, Radio is by far still #1 and it's not even close.
Considering the listening audience for the particular station I'm talking about I'd say they get far more exposure by giving some to Kiss FM than they did for giving one to Stephen Colbert...
Apple *needs* radio to help them just as much as they *need* TV advertisements...
And yes, I saw the link saying they were giving away certificates - my bad
I'd check the link but, again, it's blocked - lucky me.
Well I suppose they technically did win it before they could buy it - they just aren't allowed to pick them up yet.
Either way it's still a free iPhone and I'd take it in a heart beat.

I wonder if there is any chance that MobileMe will be released earlier than July 11th. I am just so excited to play with it. If it turns out to be really good I will upgrade my account to a family pack and make sure everyone in my family uses it!
