If you're one of the lucky ten, congratulations! You'll be contacted via e-mail within the next 24 hours. But the rest of you certainly don't go away empty-handed. Thanks to Visual Byte Inc., you can save big on Better Measure 2.0. Simply visit the Better Measure web site, add the product to your cart, and with download protection disabled, apply the following promo code at the checkout: PPCTThanks7xrt3. This will knock 40% off the price, but hurry, because the code will expire after a limited number of uses.

A day before the Better Measure 2.0 contest was supposed to end, we were left fighting a server hack, which didn't give a lot of you the chance to enter. A little unfair, of course. So, we're extending the deadline for contest entries to 11:59pm (GMT -6) on Sunday, April 13. Be sure to get them in!

It's Friday, and that means contest time! Well, okay - Fridays don't always equate to contests, but I had to come up with a compelling opening. ;)



The application pictured above is Better Measure 2.0, a fantastic unit and currency converter created by the folks over at Visual Byte Inc. But Better Measure 2.0 doesn't just stop at conversions. It even features a calculator, profile support, and a digital ruler. Sweet!

We have ten copies of Better Measure 2.0 to give away, and we're not leaving any Windows Mobile users out of this one. It's compatible with both Classic/Professional (Pocket PC) and Standard (Smartphone) devices, so it's open to all Pocket PC Thoughts and Smartphone Thoughts readers (five copies per site). What's the catch? Simply make a post in this thread stating your favourite food or drink, AND also the version you'd like (Pocket PC or Smartphone). It's that simple. The contest will end this Sunday, April 6 April 13 at 11:59pm (GMT -6). Winners will be selected randomly and announced the following week. Good luck!

Update #1: As a result of the downtime, the deadline for contest entries has been extended.

Update #2: Contest closed. Thanks to all who entered. Winners will be announced soon.
