As we expected, Google doused the 6,000 or so in attendance with free gifts aplenty. Their annual Oprah moment was right on cue at the end of their presentation where they generously gave each developer and member of the media three devices.
One was a Galaxy Nexus, a phone I’m sure will be popular once Jelly Bean comes out. Another was the brand new Nexus 7 tablet, the $200 7 inch device that will come pre-installed with Jelly Bean. Finally, the Nexus Q, an Apple TV-like device for wireless home multimedia streaming, was promised as the $300 cherry on top.
Now, multiply each of those items by three, and that’s how many we have! (That’s over $2,500 in value being thrown at you!) We’ll be giving away three prize packs consisting of one of each of those items. One contest has already concluded (a winner has yet to be determined but the deadline is over), but you still have two more chances to win.
This one’s for developers who have an app or game in the Google Play Store, and this one’s a free for all for AndroidForums.com enthusiasts (or anyone who wants to become one, for that matter). Both of them end June 29th so get your entries in ASAP! Good luck and check out the heartwarming (or breaking, if you don’t happen to win one) moment in moving picture above.
In line now with Rob and Chris wait to collect the swag we are giving away. :(
Be strong, my friend!
Dont be a sad Panda…Im stuck at work which is much less fulfilling as your job
Ya, you’re at IO! While I’m sitting here writing 2 papers for finals.
If I win one of these contests, I’ll let you use my Jelly Bean galaxy nexus so you can “Google Now” a bar in SF to drink the pain away :)
This is amazing!!!! I guess all three for the day one contest!!! I hope I win!!!!! Phandroid has the best contests hands down!!
Wow, this is pretty amazing!
Sitting here at my desk at 9:30 with a nice big coffee I can’t say the hooting and hollering was an enjoyable addition. But I can’t in all honesty say that if I was there I wouldn’t have been doing the same. So Jealous.
*edit: spelling
Nice, I came pretty damn close with my prediction entry. :)
lol I got the jelly bean nexus tab and the hspa+ galaxy nexus with jelly bean in the contest, i dont think anyone got the nexus Q unless they cheated and posted after the unveiling.
Think I deserve at least a sticker for my comment about Taylor Swift, because weirdly she was mentioned aha :)
I would Haveto agree phandroid definitely does have the best contests ever hands down!!!!!
This is fantastic!
Wow you all sound so excited in the video. Wish I was there.
Whish I was there. :-( by the way, I’m diggin the new look Phandroid!
Just like Apple…
I never win anything- never have won:-( I know I can enter this contest but I know I’d still not win anything. Just hoping for a miracle or maybe any of the Phandroid crew to pity on me and give me any of the freebies. Heh I think I’m wishing for too much but whatever still crossing my fingers. Make a wish come trueO:-)
Does anyone know if the GNex phone they received has Jelly Bean on it? I couldn’t hear if they mentioned that in the video–I only heard it for the Nexus 7.
yea it has JB pre-installed
Win.

This is my favorite forum because this… this has to be the most random article posted in the forums plus a freaking poll as to what they should do to the guy!!!!! freaking hilarious and entertaining.
That’s it. I’m sticking to the Nexus series of devices forever and ever.
well the good news is I nailed it on the “guess the gifts” the bad news is I don’t think I was first….
