Jonathan, an IPhone and ITouch application designer, contacted us about a great giveaway he has going. He tells us that:

“I’ve been doing Mac development on the side for several years, but just recently began focusing on iPhone. I was looking for an idea to get the ball rolling and my wife suggested these New Moon Countdown clocks. She tore through the books last summer, and had expanded her school’s library with additional copies to meet the demand.  We worked closely together to build the programs.

I found it interesting that these books would be so enthralling to young adults, but also sad that there are many people who would not get the chance to read them. Early on I thought it would be great to be able to use some of the proceeds from the applications to donate books from the series in my community so that even more people could share Bella and Edward’s adventures.

To promote the app and help my community, I’m planning on donating a book from the Twilight saga for every 100 downloads until July 30th. The books will go to women and children’s centers, schools, and libraries in the Seattle metro area.

Now the other cool thing is that Jonathan has given us codes for two lucky Lexiconers to get the app for free for their IPhones or ITouches. All you have to do to be in the running is to respond to this entry with the words “Pick me Team Edward” or “Pick me Team Jake” depending on which app you’d rather have.  We’ll select a random person from each category on Thursday.
