That's a wrap, folks. Five days later and we've given away 20 licenses for apps by Trinket Software. Here's how it broke down:

Congrats to all the winners, thanks to Trinket Software, and look for another big software giveaway real soon. (Hint: Details to come in the next podcast.)

Our summer giveaways continue, and we're blowing it up this week with the folks at Trinket Software. They're the makers of the Twikini Twitter app; PowerSMS, which enhances the use of text messages; No Calls, which sets profiles based on time, who's calling, etc.; and Fake Call, which can can generate fake calls on a schedule or on demand, to get you out of those awkward situations you seem to always find yourself in. (Or is that just us?)

Anyway, we're giving away a whopping five licenses for each of those four apps. (That's 20 licenses total. Yeah, we like showing off our mad math skilz.) Check in after the break for what you have to do. We're gonna make you work for it this time around.

Looking for a way to make sending text messages a little easier? Give PowerSMS a shot.

The free app is still in beta but is very well put together. With it you can:

• Note to Self: Quickly send yourself a text message without having to lookup your own name first. Makes sense.
• Group message: Just like it sounds. Set up groups and send them messages.
• Auto reply: Again, just like it sounds. Set it and forget it.
• Schedule SMS: Write a text and schedule it for later delivery.
• Cool stats: See how many messages you've received in a given time frame, average per day, most active day, most active hour and who you text most. You're probably aware of these stats, but it's a quick way for a soon-to-be-ex loved one to check up on you.
• Backup and restore: Hang on to those texts, or export as a .csv or .xml file.

Pretty handy stuff. The only thing I'd like to see added is the ability to send pictures, but that'd make it PowerMMS, now wouldn't it?
