As for today I have a couple of giveaways for products that I have featured on the site recently:
Flash Optimizer for Mac 2.1
SWF and FLV Player PRO
Neither are products that I use personally but if people want to visit the relevant link on my site and leave a comment then when I get back I will randomly pick a ‘winner’. We can do that on the show i.e. say 12 people comment I will ask you to pick a number between 1 and 12 sort of thing.

Elsewhere on the site: we have a new cat, and I was intrigued buy this New and Second Hand Apple Products site although it doesn’t seem to have much on it yet.

Darren Rolfe from MacWingnut.com takes a look at the new features added to the iPod Touch this week.
