IT is the must-have gadget of the new century, the essential companion for any self-respecting music fan.

We are, of course, talking about the Apple iPod, the little white box which has revolutionised the way we listen to music - and we've got one of the little beauties, worth £260, to give away.

The Shuttle/Times and News has teamed up with PC World, based at Crossley Retail Park in Kidderminster, to offer you the chance of winning the 10GB iPod model.

Those of you who are not techno-minded might still be sceptical but consider this - the iPod holds up to 2,500 songs, that's over 200 albums, in a little box which weighs less than 2CDs.

Use it as a walkman or plug it into your stereo at home or in the car - the iPod is capable of holding an entire music collection in MP3 and a variety of other file formats.

To stand a chance of winning all you have to do is go to PC World in Kidderminster and find the price of the cheapest PC package (PC, monitor and printer) and the specifications of the computer, by Friday, June 11.
