The winner of yesterday’s trivia challenge was Antoine N. who will be taking home a selection of great prizes. We also are announcing the winner of Friday’s Android song challenge. The decision was a tough one. We really enjoyed the twangy stylings of this folky selection and an appearance by James Caan almost won us over (though it stretched the rules a wee bit), but we ultimately settled on the holiday stylings of an Android rap entitled “Here to Stay.”
Congrats to Spencer. We have a new contest today, and you could join him as the owner of some great Android gear. Here is what you will get:
Amazon Kindle Fire
The Kindle Fire could be this holiday’s hottest product: at only $199 it’s not only one of the most affordable Android tablets, it’s also one of the best. That’s a killer combination. With a beautiful UI, great battery life, carefully curated apps/games, and an amazing array of media options thanks to Amazon’s Digital Content Ecosystem… the Kindle Fire is a sure win. Good luck winning one in our contest, but at only $199 it’s probably worth buying one just in case!
Asus Eee Pad Slider
How about an awesome Tegra 2 tablet to round our this holiday prize pack? The ASUS Eee Pad Slider brings dual-core power and a slide-out keyboard to Android Honeycomb, a combination of power and functionality. The 10.1-inch slate is fully loaded and ready to rock. A big thanks to NVIDIA for providing us with a selection of tablets for giveaway. With their processors appearing in tablets from all manufacturers, if you don’t win there is still a great selection to choose from.
Isotoner SmarTouch Gloves
Every single holiday season these SmarTouch smartphone gloves are consistently one of my favorite gift giving items. They eloquently solve one of the most fundamental problems a tech lover faces: using your device in cold weather. Wearing gloves usually prevents your touchscreen from working: take your phone out, take your glove off, use your phone, hand gets gold, shove phone in pocket, rush to get glove on. NO MORE! Isotoner’s SmarTouch gloves, designed in my colors and sizes for both men and women, has technology that passes the electrons your body gives off, through the gloves, onto the capacitive screen and allowing it to work. VOILA! Seriously. It works. Trust me. Try it… and you’ll love them forever.
Andy Robot T-Shirt
True Android enthusiasts and tech lovers enjoy expressing their Android attitude and there is no better way to do so then with an Android Robot T-Shirt from the brilliant folks at iSteamAndy. They’ve created a series of artistic, creative Android Robot themed T-shirts with fun, rich imagery. They sell like hotcakes and have limited production runs so get each design while you still can. Some of their top designs (and ones we’re giving away) include: Dark Night Andy, iSteam Andy,Flying Andy, Exploded Andy, Andy Verus, and Unstoppable Andy. Check out
Seidio $30 Voucher
With so much smartphone use comes battery drain. Thankfully, Seidio makes some awesome extended batteries that fit many smartphones, allowing you to get longer battery life with the same device. No more toting around a charger everywhere you go: just snag a Seidio and call it a day! Seidio also makes cases, holsters, and other great accessories for your smartphones.Check them all out here.
