KSP Challenge is a game run by the always most generous Radio Show on earth, Good Times With Mo. The prize is an incredible Php 500,000.00 in cold cash. All you have to do is promote the show in the most hilarious-funny-amazing-unique-shameless way possible like what I did before, which I know it sucks, that was a lame one compared to other entries.
Anyway, it looks like Apple is also trying its luck on the game. Mo has tweeted this before, an iPod Nano tuned in to 89.9. I first thought it’s not Apple’s intent but it looks like it doesn’t end there. Apple has sent in some more entries, now with iPod Touch and iPhone.

Not only that, Apple made those new models to only be able to work on one channel that is 89.9. Other channels will not work for those models. Steve Jobs also said that the company is serious to win the the Php 500,000 cash to at least help them recover some of their losses from the economic downturn they experienced. Asked if Apple is willing to donate some portion to Ondoy victims and he was shaking his head sideways before the interviewer actually finished his question.
The units will sell exclusively in the Philippines since the frequency 89.9 is a totally different channel in other parts of the world. An observer during the press launch suggested that the units should be able to dial other frequencies for it to be used in other provinces in Visayas and Minadanao and Apple representative acknowledged that it is still a work in progress. Soon the units will be able to automatically dial to any Magic 89.9 frequency, depending on the location. The FM function will also work during 6AM to 9AM, Monday to Thursday only. Another major feature Apple pointed out for iPod Touch and iPhone was the exclusivity of its browsers to only access Magic 89.9 website and nothing more.
To prove that it is going to actually sell in the Philippines, a review unit was sent to Yugatech to test the reception clarity and quality.
