Ok, this is a first; I’m mentioning Ellen Degeneres on my blog. What’s odd… I actually like her show since she’s just bouncing around, dancing and whatnot. Anyway, thought I’d share a real quick contest that I was made aware of that’s finishing up real quick. The copy/paste information is below:

The Triumph with SmartGuide was recently featured on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” as a great gift for the holidays. Check out the two clips here, and find out how you could win one this holiday.

Go to the Oral-B Triumph with SmartGuide website here. And while you’re at it, view the live commercial that started it all.

Quick reminder… the contest ends tomorrow on December 31, 2007.

In my quick test this morning, I uploaded a Microsoft Word document from my desktop and then accessed it from my Apple iPhone without an issue.
