Got mad developer skills and a deep, enabling love for smartphones and their communities? Well, Smartphone Experts, the network behind theiphoneblog.com and many of your other favorites like CrackBerry.com, PreCentral.net, and a host of others, is looking for YOU!

For more info, check out Dieter’s post in the forums.

Tiger Woods PGA Tour for iPhone is currently 30% off for a limited time [$6.99 - iTunes Link]. To celebrate, they’re giving a lucky TiPb reader a free copy for the iPhone (technically a gift certificate) and for the Xbox 360!

Hoping to score a give-away hole-in-one? Get over to our TiPb iPhone Forums and tell us your favorite funny golf moment or joke. (And no, you can’t just link to Robin Williams videos, okay?)

Ready… Swing!

Sorry everyone, no iPhone Live! this week. Nope. Not gonna happen. Instead, this week we’re bringing you — Smartphone Experts Roundtable Live!

Tonight, Wednesday, June 24 at 8pm EDT/5pm PDT, SPE Editor-in-Chief, Dieter Bohn (representing PreCentral.net, AndroidCentral.com, and WMExperts.com), Kevin Michaluk (fearless leader of CrackBerry.com), and Matt Miller (editor of NokiaExperts.com) will be joining yours truly (from theiPhoneBlog.com, ‘natch) to talk Palm Pre, BlackBerry Tour, Nokia N97, and our very own iPhone 3GS/iPhone 3.0.

As always, pre-show will start about 5 minutes before if you want to drop by early and reserve a space in our chat room. See you then!

TiPb’s giving away a 32GB iPhone 3G S (technically Apple gift certificate for $399). You had three chances to enter: on Twitter, by watching iPhone Live! and on our forums. And you entered in droves!

Best. Community. Ever.

Unfortunately, there can be only one winner, and for this contest, this time, the winner is…

Ahambone!

Congratulations! Enjoy, and when you get your iPhone 3G S, send us a picture!

This is the second iPhone we’ve given out this year (along with tons of other stuff — so if you didn’t win, don’t fret, it could be your turn next time!)

OH… BUT WE’RE NOT DONE YET!

The response on Twitter was so fantastic we’re giving away a special runner-up prize, courtesy of the TiPb iPhone Store, just for the sheer fantasticalness of all our followers and friends:

• Motorola S9-HD Bluetooth Stereo Headphones

Make sure you’re following us and check your DM’s soon!

Tuesday was all about the Twitter. Wednesday we took it iPhone Live! Well today, we bring it back home.

For your last chance to enter TiPb’s 32GB iPhone 3G S give away, just go over to the TiPb iPhone Forums and tell us the #1 reason you want to upgrade (if you already have an iPhone), or why you want to make this your first iPhone (if you’re currently rocking some other RAZRPreBerryDroidMobile97 device). Nothing fancy, just the deal-maker.

• One forum post per person
• The rest of the contest details

Yesterday you could enter to win a 32GB iPhone 3G S via Twitter. Today, things go live! iPhone Live!

Join us at the usual time, tonight at 8pm EDT/5pm PDT at http://www.tipb.com/live/ and at some point during the show, we’ll let you know how you can get a second entry into our give-away!

Oh, and the TiPb crew will also be covering iPhone 3.0 and all the latest news and views. And who knows, if Apple only releases it tonight, maybe we’ll be doing our updates live!

Chat with you soon!

Yeah, so are we. We have no idea when exactly “today” it will be released — Apple can pull the trigger whenever they want, first thing in the morning New York time, or last minute at night in Cupertino. So, all we can do is wait and keep hitting that download button.

Or, if you want to help pass the time, check out TiPb’s iPhone Forums. They’re friendly, informative, and fast and free to join (for those few who haven’t already).

There’s even an official “Staying up for iPhone 3.0” thread, courtesy of Tremain, to get you started!

I joined Leif Iverson on yesterday’s Digital Trends Podcast, and since Dieter wasn’t available, I was put in the untenable position of having to champion both the iPhone 3G S for TiPb and the Palm Pre for our sibling site, PreCentral.net. Somehow, I survived. (And had a lot of fun — thanks Leif!)

Check it out, and let us know what you think about the upcoming rumble in the smartphone jungle!
