Tuesday was all about the Twitter. Wednesday we took it iPhone Live! Well today, we bring it back home.
For your last chance to enter TiPb’s 32GB iPhone 3G S give away, just go over to the TiPb iPhone Forums and tell us the #1 reason you want to upgrade (if you already have an iPhone), or why you want to make this your first iPhone (if you’re currently rocking some other RAZRPreBerryDroidMobile97 device). Nothing fancy, just the deal-maker.
This week, Apple introduces the all-new iPhone 3G S, which means TiPb just got handed a great excuse to give one away! (Actually a gift certificate, see them details below).
And you? You’ve also just gotten three chances to win it over the next three days!
Tuesday’s Chance to Win a 32GB iPhone 3G S
For today’s entry, head on over to Twitter and help us let everyone know about the contest. Simply include @theiphoneblog and in your tweet (that’s how we’ll track you), and ask your friends and followers to pass along the good news, and you’ll get one entry in the contest. Here’re some examples:
Want to win a 32GB iPhone 3G S from @theiphoneblog? Re-tweet this and check out http://bit.ly/G16Qt
Zoinks! RT Now! @theiphoneblog is totally giving away a 32GB iPhone 3G S! http://bit.ly/G16Qt
I’d do the same thing I offered to do for a BlackBerry Storm: try using one. Believe me, for someone who’s mellow has been 100% de-harshened by the iPhone, that’s a contest ender.
Think you have what it takes to win a FREE Palm Pre? Time to put up or shut up! PreCentral.net is giving away FIVE Palm Pre Phones the day that the Palm Pre is released. In addition, we’re sweetening the deal by making them into full-on Palm Pre Packs, including:
A Palm Pre Smartphone on Sprint
A $100 Amazon Gift Card to fill your Pre up with music
A Touchstone Charging Station & Battery Cover
Any case from the PreCentral.net Accessory Store
A Set of Motorola S9-HD Bluetooth Stereo Headphones (A $99 value) to rock out with your Pre
If the qualifiers end up anywhere near as fantastic as last year’s CrackBerry.com’s Storm give-away, we should be in for some epic tattooed, mud wrasslin, paint-ball blasted, smartphone smashed, Palm Pre fun.
Kudos to PreCentral, and best of luck to all the contestants!
Per the video above, Ocarina for iPhone developer, Smule, is giving away $10,000 — $1000 each for the top 10 Ocarina videos! How do you enter? Make a video response to the contest vid above, or put a video in their official group. How do you win?
Winners will be determined by a Smulean algorithm, combining number of ratings, average number of stars, and total number of views on YouTube. Smule will also be appointing a panel of judges to oversee the contest and they will have the ultimate decisive authority if needed.
To celebrate the launch of our new iPhone Live! Podcast, the iPhone blog is revving up yet another contest! What is it and how does it work?
Every week, on both the iPhone Live! and Phone different Podcasts, we here at TiPb will each be choosing our favorite iPhone accessories (courtesy of the TiPb iPhone store!), and adding them to the prize pack.
How to Enter
Each week, we’ll give you new chance to enter. It might be joining us on a social network, sending us a tweet, replying to a forum thread, etc. Listen to our podcasts (or check out the show notes) to find out the entry method for that week. Do it.
At the end of the week, we’ll pick a qualifier from everyone who successfully entered that week. Each qualifier will receive a 15% off coupon for the iPhone blog store, and be entered in our grand prize drawing.
Enter as many weeks as you like (though only 1 entry will be counted each week!). When we have all our qualifiers, we’ll pull a name out at random and they’ll win our Grand Prize: The Ultimate iPhone Accessory Pack!
The forums have been on fire lately due to Apple dropping the 2.2 firmware recently. So with that in mind we are going to start off with a thread asking is the 2.2 Firmware a Success?. Personally I could not be happier with the stability that the latest firmware has brought!
