Contests run by your friends here at Droid Life.
On Friday, we announced a contest to help celebrate the arrival of Honeycomb to Google TV. Two DL readers would be rewarded with a Logitech Revue of their own by doing something as simple as leaving a comment on the contest post. After picking randomly from the 2,000+ entries, it has come down to the final two. Who has won these soon-to-be-Honeycomb-filled-prizes? Let’s find out after the break. (more…)
With the announcement this morning that Google TV will finally receive its much anticipated update to Honeycomb, we thought, “Why not celebrate by giving away a couple of Logitech Revue units?” So let’s just go ahead and do that! (more…)
With the release of SHADOWGUN to Tegra devices yesterday, NVIDIA asked if we would be interested in giving away a tablet and some other prizes to one of our fantastic readers as a way to celebrate. Like we would turn that down, right? So upon agreeing, they shipped us over a Sony Tablet S (powered by Tegra), a Jawbone JAMBOX speaker, and a $25 gift card. The prize packages is valued at over $700 and is one of the more impressive you’ll find anywhere. (more…)
Just a quick reminder that DL and NVIDIA have teamed up to give one lucky reader a free Sony Tablet S (Tegra 2 powered of course), a Jawbone JAMBOX, and $25 gift card to celebrate the launch of SHADOWGUN. It’s as simple as ever to enter, but you only have a few hours left before we pick the winner.
Contest details here.
You all know SHADOWGUN by now, right? The game that brings beautiful console-quality graphics to your Tegra 2 powered device? Well, folks, it has finally been released and can be found through NVIDIA’s Tegra Zone for $4.99.
We have had the game for a couple of weeks now to get a good feel for it and can easily say that this is one of the more graphically impressive games we have ever seen on a tablet. No one is lying when they say “console-quality.” The AI (artificial intelligence) is fairly advanced, the gameplay itself has been thought out precisely for tablets, and the 3D environments are obviously top notch. Again, it looks phenomenal.
You can view the game in action through a number of videos here and here. (more…)
It’s almost time for the kids to go out and get pounds upon pounds of candy for just dressing up in a silly/cute costume and walking from door to door. No apples please, grandma! Koveleski and Tha Phlash looks to be in the spirit already and has just released two themes that go perfectly for the month of October. Tha Jack-o and Tha Pumpkin work great with ADW EX and even LauncherPro Plus, so we’ve decided to spread the Halloween cheer through a little giveaway.
Update: We got our 5 winners! Congrats you guys, and thanks to everyone for entering! (more…)
If you are stuck all day at work and unable to participate in the DROID Bionic scavenger hunt that ends in about 31 hours, then you may want to check out this semi-secret site. It’s the scavenger hunt, only you don’t have to leave home to participate or download that silly augmented reality app. All you have to do is wait for the next game to begin, click “Hunt” and start cruising around on Google Maps.
Navigating around the map is by no means easy, but it will certainly save you some gas and some app memory on that OG DROID.
Play here.
Cheers to everyone who sent this in!
As you can probably tell after almost 2 years, we are huge sports fans and love to give away prizes to readers every chance we get. So just as we did last year, we are launching another NFL Eliminator style challenge, but are upping the grand prize. What on Earth could you possibly win this year? How does a brand new phone of your choice sound? We would attempt to pick a specific device, but by the time the NFL regular season wraps up in January, we will likely have a new batch of phones that blow the current models out of the water. So when the time comes that we have a winner and all others are eliminated, we will let you choose what phone you want (sans iPhone of course) up to $600 in value.
Everyone ready to win a brand new phone? Here we go… (more…)
