So here's the deal. I didn't get a lot of feedback on the CES meet-up (I think 3 people replied). Plus, no one has sent me a single picture of the swag I sent them from the last contest (you know who you are). So, I'm hesitant to run another contest. However, the team is having a small private get together at CES (this is not an official MS thing, just the Zune accessories team). Want to meet the team? Here's what you have to do...

I need either of two things. First, a really great (and I mean great) tip/trick that I can repost on the site. Something really cool that hasn't been posted before. I'm thinking of things like hacking accessories to work with Zune or getting content on the device (legally). Second, if you don't have a tip or trick, tell me why you want to meet the team. No pandering and nothing like, "it would be really cool to meet you." Give me a good reason. Something like you want to interview the team for your blog. There will be rules about what you can and can't post (don't say you weren't warned). But, if the reason is good enough, we'll send an invite. Just to set your expectations, though, I'm guessing we won't invite more than two people. So make it good.

Who got a new Zune for Christmas? What was it, the 4, 8, 30, or 80? Have you tried out Marketplace yet? What do you think? Anyone get any cool accessories? I got a DLO action jacket (but it was the generic one).

I know it has been kind of quiet again. Part of it is the traditional Holiday rush. But, part of it was that I was in Asia. Yep, I'm already working on V3 and, unfortunately, it means that I had to spend part of the December break overseas. While I can't give away too much, I spent time working on both devices and next gen accessories. I'll try to keep this updated, but with CES fast approaching, who knows.

Well. it is that time of the year again.  We're deep into CES planning.  The last couple of years I tried to have a get-together, but without much luck.  however, I thought I'd give it one more shot.  Anyone planning on being at CES?  Anyone interested in a meet-up?  If we get a critical mass, I'll plan something.
