It’s always fun when a giveaway is announced and it’s even better when what will be available for free is a popular Android tablet. Our friends at Ubergizmo have announced that they have partnered with NVIDIA for giving away two Asus Transformer Prime tablets (for two winners) and you just have to post a comment to participate.

You have to place a comment here (valid email address or Facebook profile is needed) and if you are lucky, your name will be selected in the draw and you will win a $499.99 NVIDIA Tegra 3 quad-core Asus Transformer Prime and a $149 keyboard dock accessory. You can comment about anything, but it will be great if you talk about why you are interested in the tablet. Just to let you know, there are already 968 comments over there and more will keep on coming, but there’s certainly nothing to lose by typing a few words and imagining about playing with the device in the future.

But, as always, there are rules. The following are the main ones:

The draw is open to legal residents of US (50 states) and Canada (excluding Quebec), 18 and older. (If you are from some other country, you might have international friends who can participate.)

The deadline to place your comment is Wednesday March 28 2012, at 23:59pm PT. (But we know that you have already placed your comment.)

Head here to check out all the rules.

And good luck!

How Do I Enter? How Can I Win?

All you have to do to enter is submit a “meaningful” comment to any story on Mobile Magazine. You can respond to the author, add some new tidbits of information, perhaps respond to another comment, or just tell us what you think. The whole idea is that we want to make a better community for everyone, so at the end of each week, we’ll select someone at random who posted a meaningful comment somewhere on the site.  You can enter more than once by commenting more and will then be able to choose one item from the gadget list below.

Starting today you can submit your comments anywhere on the site.  Next Friday we will choose our first winner, and each consecutive Friday from then until we run out of stuff to give away. We’ll keep adding prizes to the contest as they come in. Once a product has been selected, it will show the winners name (who will be contacted, so provide a valid email when commenting so we can get your shipping information) and that product will be eliminated from the list (unless we get more than one).

Remember, you can enter as much as you like, win more than once, but spam and lazy one liners will not be included. Contest open to residents of US & Canada only.

The post CONTEST: Mobile Magazine Gadget Grab Bag Giveaway! appeared first on Mobile Magazine.

They’ve just announced a new contest where ten lucky people will get their cell phone bill paid for the entirety of the 2011 calendar year. That can easily translate into several hundred dollars each, which is pretty good. The site says that you’ll want to buy a new Motorola smartphone but the official rules state that no purchase is necessary. It’s all about reading the fine print. That said, even if you’re not one of the ten winners, you still get a little bonus for buying a Moto handset. If you send in the form, sales receipt and UPC by November 30, they’ll give you a Cineplex Night Out movie ticket. Right. Because a $30 bonus is worth dropping $200 (and signing a contract) on a phone.

You should also note that this is only for Canadians. You’ve got to throw them Canucks a bone from time to time, you know. Maybe that’s enough to inspire that move to the land of the green?

If you were one of the lucky few to enter our Joby GorillaMobile giveaway, then you may be expecting a special package in the mail pretty soon.

As you may recall, we were hosting a contest where the winner would get a Joby Gorillamobile for iPhone 3G/3GS. The three bendable arms let you mount your iPhone just about anywhere, whether it be in the car, in your living room, or on your balcony.

So, using a random number generator, the winner has been selected. Congratulations goes out to Heather Stewart. You might know her better as @hshomestaging. Heather, please DM @michaelkwan with your mailing address and we’ll get Joby to send out your prize.

Thanks to everyone for entering. If the stars align, we could have another contest soon enough.

The post Winner of the iPhone GorillaMobile Giveaway appeared first on Mobile Magazine.

Up for grabs in the new contest is the Joby Gorillamobile for iPhone 3G/3GS. You might already be familiar with the Gorillapod family of products, giving you three bendable arms that can be posed in just about any way, gripping just about anything. This particular version gives you the same three bendy arms, but it comes with an iPhone case too.

You can use it like a camera tripod for when you’re taking pictures or recording videos with your iPhone. You can use it as a stand so you can watch movies handsfree while on a plane. Grip it, wrap it, and enjoy it. Better yet, get it for free.

So, how do you enter? There are two steps:

1. Follow @MobileMag and @michaelkwan on Twitter
2. Send out this tweet: “I want to win a Gorillamobile for iPhone from @MobileMag. More details here: http://bit.ly/X86d7 #mobilemagcontest”

And that’s it. The contest is open between now and next Friday, November 27. Contest is open to anyone in Canada and the United States.

This is your best Black Friday deal, because it’s free! Good luck.
