Anyone know how I can solicit Apple to donate an iPod... In 2003 I participated in the Blogathon and got a bunch of musicans to donate unreleased tracks which I doled out with my writing. I plan to do something similar this year and thought it would be awesome to randomly choose a name from my donators (Sweet Relief will be my charity) and give them all the tracks on an iPod Nano. Any idea how to get the attention of Apple?

My guess is you'd have more luck getting the manager of a local retailer to donate the iPod than you would Apple.

Yeah, I considered that also but can approach that route without assistance. I thought I'd appeal here to see if anyone had an inside contact or someone I can email. I had a biz card for a guy who came up to me at a concert asking for pictures I'd taken for Apple's site but I freakin' lost it. Arrgh.

mudpuppie, I fear my response came across rude or unappreciative. Sorry about that! It didn't seem so when I previewed. :(

Send an email to Steve Jobs. His staff often filter interesting stuff to him through his public email address.
