Each month we randomly select 10 new reviewers from applications we receive during the prior month. We send each reviewer a free product which they can keep or give away after their review.
We aim to publish this list on the last Friday of each month. Due to #thesituation2010 we were stuck having to wait until today, but at least we all had some fun in the snow.
You guys were asked what your favorite innovation of the last decade was. Your comments were amazing, I think iPhone and iPod definitely took the prize, but TiVO and DVR were a runner up for sure.
I’ll be in touch with you all on Monday to arrange shipping out your new Threadless Innovation Revolution cases.
I used random.org to choose the winning comments. Here they are… Congrats!
**********
I’ll say multi touch technology. ie, iPod touch, iPhones, magic mouse and apple laptops’ track pad.

the iPhone. It has revolutionized the entire cell phone industry.

I think online education was one of the biggest innovations that really took off in the last 10 years. It did originate in the mid 90s, but more universities really started incorporating it after 2000. As an online student myself, I really understand a lot of the benefits, like being able to make your own schedule, cheaper living costs, and being able to go to school anywhere in the world from your own home. I have students from Japan, Spain, and all over the US in some of my classes.

I think the iPhone was the best invention from the last decade. It truly changed the view of not only smart phones, but phones in general.

My favorite innovation of the last decade is definitely Twitter. Not only for connecting with friends, but news travel will forever be changed.

Innovation has gotta be the iPhone. Apple’s revisiting of what is a computer and what it can do was the big story of the end of the decade, and looks to be the big story of this decade (most likely) as well!

Actually to be honest, my favourite would be either the iPhone 3gs, which I live by, or the invention of P2P sharing. Information (and other stuff ) sharing for the win! (: Where would we be without torrents. and the iphone (:

We’ll be doing plenty of more giveaways here soon. Stay tuned!
You may recall that I mentioned TuneJuice Universal in my original CES recap post. It’s the perfect addition for any iPhone addicted person, like me.
TuneJuice Universal is the ideal back up battery for iPhone, iPod or any USB charged device. When your device is on red, simply pop into a store and pick up three double AA batteries. I carry rechargeable batteries in my bag, so I’m always ready to rescue myself from the dreaded loss of power.
Of course, we include your first set of batteries, so you can break open the packaging and get charged right away.
This is especially perfect if you’re traveling, camping or anywhere that you need more juice.
Technical Specifications
Uses 3 AA batteries (included)
Output: 5 V @ 850 mA
Works with mobile phones, MP3 players and other devices that get their charge via USB cable
Adds up to 2.25 hours of talk time (on iPhone 3GS)
Uses the charge/sync cable that came with your device
We asked last week what you would do if Apple released it’s long awaited tablet. The majority of you voted to add it to your wish lists. We’re keeping our fingers crossed that your wishes come true (it’s on my list too).
Elan Sleeve Slim enough to slip into a backpack, bag or briefcase; tough enough to protect your Apple iPad from whatever it may bump into in there. Slip your iPad into the Elan Sleeve, then flip the tab closure down to secure it. Gently pull the tab to slide your iPad out quickly and safely. For protection that looks great, Elan Sleeve is constructed of a stain-resistant synthetic outer shell with a smooth micro suede interior. Available for $34.99 in Spring.
Elan Passport No matter where you and your iPad are headed, you can both travel in style with Elan Passport. The one-piece folio flips open to reveal your iPad’s Multi-Touch display, then closes like a book for privacy and protection. Elan Passport’s micro suede lining protects your iPad, all over, from scratches and smudges. Held shut by a tab closure, the inner cover includes pockets for ID, important papers, and more. You’re going to take your iPad everywhere. So you’ll need the case that’s ready for anything. Available for $44.99 in Spring.

Screen Care Kit, Matte
Do something nice for the Multi-Touch display that does so much for you. Clean and protect your touchscreen with our Screen Care Kit.

Then smooth on lasting protection with a static peel screen protector to keep grit and dust away from your touchscreen. Matte finish minimizes fingerprints and cuts down on screen glare. Available for $24.99 in Spring.
Leave me a comment and I’ll be sure to notify you when these products become available. Happy iPad Day!
Each adapter includes a small number to indicate which device it’s for. However, if you lose our packaging you’re left guessing what each one is for.
Steve McGurn @mtl_steve was kind enough to point this out yesterday on Twitter. He made a valid point we didn’t consider.
I mentioned this to our lovely support department (who rock!) and they were kind enough to whip up a chart today. In case you’re wondering, we use the same adapter numbers as Apple.
Now there’s no need to be stuck guessing. Thanks for the suggestion Steve!
