gdgt weekly 071

ryan
By ryan on Jan 30, 2010
Not that this will come as a shock or anything, but this week we're talking Apple iPad -- and pretty much nothing else. Yeah, we'll get into a few other tablets, too, like the Dell Mini 5, the HP slate, the Fusion Garage JooJoo, and so on, but you can definitely consider this one our iPad show!

gdgt giveaway: win a Sonos S5 wireless music system!

S5

Next up in our ongoing series of giveaways is a Sonos S5, an internet-connected stereo speaker system that lets you stream your music library, internet radio, and music services like Pandora and Rhapsody all over your house. Best of all, you can even control it using your iPhone or iPod touch.

To enter all you have to do is:
Just do both of these by 11:59pm EST on Tuesday, February 2nd and you're automatically entered to win. (If you've already done both, don't worry, you're already entered!) We'll pick a winner at random from all qualified entries.

Oh, and the good people at Sonos are doing two more awesome things to sweeten the deal: they're going to throw in a ZoneBridge, and they're willing to ship it anywhere for free, including internationally, which means this contest is open to pretty much everyone! Good luck!

UPDATE: We have a winner! Congrats to user dustanner!

We've had a ton of people inquiring about the shirts and stickers we gave away at our SF and NY events last year, so we've done a few more and put 'em on sale!

For shirts, take your pick between our New York red and San Francisco black (extremely limited quantity!). We've also got stickers, too, including our super awesome clear Have stickers (my personal favorite! and assorted colors).

All items include free domestic shipping (please allow 5-10 biz days). Apologies in advance for our limited quantities, but if it looks like people are into this maybe we'll do another run!

P.S. -We'll have more iPhone cases soon, stay tuned on that.

The industry is still taking a post-CES breather, but Apple's tablet event on the 27th was obviously the biggest news we'll be digging into this week. We're also talking about the delay of Sony's PS3 Motion Controller, the new Jawbone ICON and Motorola MOTOROI, SlideScreen for Android, and our hands-on impressions of the Nokia N900.

DSLR-A330
Okay, we have a second contest this week! Not only are we giving away a Jawbone ICON Bluetooth headset (you still have time to enter!), we also have a Sony α DSLR-A330 10.2 megapixel DSLR camera you can win as well!

Here's all you have to do:

  • Add the Sony α DSLR-A330 to your Want list.
  • Then post a review of any product you own on the site. It can be a new gadget or an old one, doesn't matter, just has to be a proper review (i.e. you can't write "I love this!" over and over again -- yes, we'll be checking). And no, it doesn't have to be positive -- just be honest.
  • Do both of these by 11:59pm EST on Tuesday, January 26th and you're automatically entered to win.
We'll pick a winner at random from all qualified entries. Sorry, this contest is only open to US residents -- but feel free to write a review anyway, let your voice be heard! And good luck!

UPDATE: We're extending the deadline for this one by 24 hours, so make sure you enter by 11:59pm EST on Wednesday, January 27th!

UPDATE 2: We have a winner! Congrats to user sledlow!

In part two of our CES wrap-up / 2010 kickoff, we'll digging in on e-book readers -- specifically the Plastic Logic QUE proReader, Spring Design Alex, and the Skiff Reader -- and Pixel Qi's potentially game (or at least category)-changing display. We've also got word on the WiMAX-enabled Sprint Overdrive, Project Natal's 2010 release, D-Link's DIR-632 8-port 802.11n router, and even a bit on some upcoming smartbooks, like the Lenovo Skylight.
