I got specifics regarding some of the rewards, details in brackets:

1 App:
- A Kinect? Sensor for Xbox 360? (Gunstringer Bundle)

2 Apps:
- A Windows? Phone 7 (Nokia Lumia 800)
- A $500 Gift Voucher (American Express)
- 35,000 Microsoft Points
- An Xbox 360? with Kinect Bundle

Just curious, they contacted me about 2 weeks ago asking me to choose my first reward. Chose it but still haven't gotten it yet. What about yourself?

 

[wildbohr]

I was contacted again via email, asking me to send back my paperwork. I explained it never arrived so they emailed it to me and I filled it out this morning and sent it back.

Thanks. I also got an email this morning asking me to send back the paperwork which I also never received.

Hey my Xbox Points and T-Shirt came today.

Also it's not 10,000 points it's 1400x8 = 11,200 points!

I was just wondering where mine is but it's good to hear they are arriving. Have you published a second app yet?

Btw,forgot to ask which apps you have.

Thanks for the update!

I do use your tivs app as I play quite a few games. I'm working on a post on my blog where I include some recommended apps for my readers and TIVS is definitely one of them - I get around 50-75 hits a day on my humble blog so hopefully this might help you with more downloads. You can check out my little blog at dexxansoft.blogspot.com

I'll check out your other apps as well.

Cheers.

Thanks in advance for the nod on your blog! I've already added it to my rss feed and I'll be checking out your apps as well.

Just received my first reward as well. 11200 MSP!

can't wait till they contact me again for the 2nd reward now. Gonna get myself a Lumia 800

 

[wildbohr]

I'm leaning on the Lumia 800, I bought my wife a 710 last month and I'm getting a 900 next month. She's considering taking the 800 instead. If I don't do that then it will be the $500 amex. I don't need 35000 points (I've got 11,200 to spend already ) and I already have an xbox and kinect.

I'm building v2.0 of my Trade in Values app in April and then beginning work on the 3rd app for the contest. I have lots of ideas down but need to vet them for complexity/marketplace existing/viability.
