This contest is now over. We’ve now sent codes to the winners of rounds 16 through 41, and will continue sending them throughout the day. If you were contacted during the contest and were told that you won, please feel free to e-mail us if you do not receive your code by Sunday night.
Round 42 -The Finale:
I think it’s safe to say that Round 42, the Scavenger Battle for Mt. Jaadu, is now over.
Who won? I’m not 100% sure yet, to be honest – most of the entries were taken on iPhones, and are thus blurry messes that need a bit of deciphering before we can determine who won. But we got a whole bunch – so the chances are slim that anyone who hasn’t submitted yet will win. Feel free to send the shots over, regardless. We’ll be in touch with the winners (along with all the other contest winners) as soon as possible. We’ll try to get through everything by tomorrow morning.
Dozens of applications, hundreds of promo codes, and thousand upon thousands of entries later – that’s all, folks… or is it?
If you’ve been paying attention throughout the day, you may have noticed the number of promo codes we had for each app we had tonight was.. a bit strange. Instead of 5 promo codes, we had 4. Instead of 10 codes, we had 9. At least, that’s what we said.
We’ve been hanging on to one of every code for every application we gave away tonight. Not only that, but there are probably a dozen or so applications that we simply didn’t get to give away due to lack of time.
Sometime this weekend (it won’t be tonight, or tomorrow morning. I need sleep), we’ll be announcing the details for the grand daddy of iPhone App giveaways. The winner will get one of every single application we’ve given away thus far, plus more. Hundreds of dollars of applications.
Stay tuned, folks – and I hope you enjoyed today’s festivities!
A Huge thanks to everyone who contributed to today. Many developers contributed handfuls of their applications; here are the ones we had the opportunity give away during the 12 1/2 hours this contest ran. This list will be revised throughout the night for accuracy and to include all the applications we didn’t reach in the giveaway queue. Huge thanks to everyone, again:

See you tomorrow!
Can you win more than once? Will that even be possible? :p
iPhone has great developer support!
I know I need an iTunes account but do I need to use iTunes to download or can I do through my iPhone directly?
I’m not 100% sure, but I don’t believe you need iTunes.
If you go into the on-device iTunes app, there is a “Redeem” button under the Downloads tab. When you punch in a code, it’ll say you need to sync with iTunes to begin download – but the last few times I’ve tried (which, admittedly, wasn’t very recently), simply closing and reopening the iTunes app on the iPhone let me get around that and began the download.
No. You can enter the codes directly in the iTunes app (not iPod) on your iPhone by clicking on the Downloads tab and selecting the Redeem button on the title bar.
I anticapate an aching index finger by the end of tomorrow.
Your ad sales team hitting the circuit on Monday? Boosting your metrics?
Thanks MobileCrunch! Woo! Let’s do this!
woo hoo
I have an USA iTunes account even if never been in the USA. Can I still participate?
We’re not checking if people are from the US – just asking that people who cant use the promo codes don’t enter. If you’ve got an iTunes account that allows you to DL from the US app store, we wouldn’t stop you.
At wich time will the giveaway will finish? Please hold some codes until 4:00pm (Im a student and I will arrive at home at 3:00pm ;)
Waiting “online”! (Hey U, get behind me!!)
im ready for battle
Let’s get er done!!!!

warren is a huge nerd!
Oh joy, more ifart and isabre apps. yawn.
Argh! I won’t be home until 1pm PST!
But I’ll be looking nevertheless. :D
Oh, I need this so bad!
Apple’s store is hopelessly hosed up tonight (timeouts/unresponsive). Hope they fix it for everyone by tomorrow!
Great gesture indeed. Thanks!
Unless my calendar is wrong, Friday’s date is 4/17
I think you got the date wrong, twice:
“That’s why tomorrow (Friday, 4/16), we’re holding our first ever iPhone App Giveaway Spree.”
and
“We’ve got some awesome applications lined up for you – so be ready to roll at 9 A.M. PST, 4/16″
Just to confirm it should be Friday, 4/17 right?
Yeah I noticed the date was wrong to hmmmm….
Ding !
Ok, it’s 9:04am – where do I find the contest or the promo codes???????
Everyone is sleeping : )
Let’s go back to grade three and learn to read:
“9 A.M. PST”
i.e. 9 A.M Pacific Standard Time
Stop whining.
Oh snap.
But well you can’t blame me, I was right : everyone is sleeping.
=)
LOL!!! Sorry – working on EST here … please ignore earlier comment :-)
Apps, I am gonna get ya (in about three hours) :)
Me Me! Pick ME!
Yay! Free iPhone Apps!
heyyyy it’s fridayyy, pick me pleaseee
Two hours to go :)
My Bejeweled game is getting stale. Codes please!
Keep your fingers crossed
iphone apps..wow !!!
Awesome idea! I’ll try to check in between working and sleeping at my desk.
I’m anxious to see what they’ve got, here’s to hopin’ for some free apps.
Heeeey ya!!!!!!!!
Article Says Friday the 16th! Is this a late April Fools joke?
No – I just shouldn’t make edits at 1 am.
They’ve fixed the typo.
I got REFRESH ready!
Come on Kryptonite…hang in there…hang in there
Ready…………
How do you enter? I can’t find out where to go to view the contest…?
Hasn’t started yet. Round 1 begins in ~20 minutes.
ready.
Ready to go
Awesome, nice promo!
im all geared up!
sweet!
Can’t wait!
I’ll be watching for the promo codes.
How about giving away an actual iPhone (or iPod Touch)? That would impress me more. I can afford 99 cents, I just don’t have the $200 for the actual unit. :)
Nobody asked you to participate…
Im ready for the freebies!!!
I’m on my iPhone. I get the feeling 3g and a touch screen keyboard is not going to be fast enough to win this stuff. Ironic I have to be on a of to win an iPhone app.
Actually Chris, I won one of the prizes here exactly in the same fashion you speak of. Touch screen keyboard on a 3G connection.
