UPDATE: The contest is over. Thanks to everyone for entering. We will be choosing a winner on Monday. Good luck to all that entered.
Sure the iPhone gets all the press, but who needs the hassle of dealing with mobile carriers. That's the genius of the iPod touch, and that genius can be yours.
All you have to do is post a comment in this article to win your very own iPod touch. That's it! The comment can be as long or as short as you like – one word will do!
Our Mac|Life super comment choosing machine will choose a random comment and award one lucky person a brand new 16GB iPod touch, with a retail value of $399.00. The odds of winning are determined by the number of eligible entries received. The prize is nontransferable and must be accepted as awarded.
Here are the rules:
- You can only enter once. Commenting more than once will automatically disqualify you from the contest.
- The contest is limited to legal residents of the United States (excluding residents of Puerto Rico). Void where prohibited by law. Entrants must be at least 13 years of age.
- The contest will end at 11:59p.m. PST on August 9, 2008.
- Check out the full official rules below.
So cross your fingers and start your comments.

Hi, I traded my iPod Touch when I got my iPhone to get a G4 iMac, good trade, but I wouldn't mind having a Touch again to load up with all my music.
