Our first giant giveaway was a huge success, with lots of excited entries received from many countries around the world in the 2 weeks it was running. In the end, one lucky winner - Keef from the UK - walked away with a free XOOM Wi-Fi, excited beyond belief. While we could only pick one winner for that giveaway, I promised that more would be coming, one more awesome than the other.
Today, I'm glad to announce our 2nd giant giveaway, also sponsored by NVIDIA, with the grand prize of the T-Mobile LG G-Slate 3D tablet with a street price of $750-800 (Amazon $800, T-Mobile $750). This tablet packs even more features than the XOOM and has 3G/4G connectivity built-in.
This G-Slate features:
- a dual-core 1GHz Tegra 2 processor
- a 3D-capable 8.9" wide-screen
- 32 GB of space
- 1GB of DDR2 RAM
- dual 5MP cameras capable of taking 3D and HD pictures and video (1080P)
- a 2MP front-facing camera
- a 6400 mAh battery
- 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi
- HDMI out
- It runs on the 850/1800/1900 MHz and 900/1700/2100 MHz GSM (Tri-Band/Tri-Mode) frequencies and transmits data using HSPA+21 (what T-Mobile calls 4G)
- and, of course, Android 3.0 "Honeycomb"
Note: This prize does NOT come with a data plan of any sort - if you want to hook it up to T-Mobile, it is your responsibility; otherwise, feel free to use its Wi-Fi capabilities.
More great prizes are coming up shortly, so be sure to keep following Android Police on Twitter, Facebook, and RSS.
Giveaway
And here is the winner (picked at random):
@h2oskierc, Chris Grandell from Minnesota, who entered using Twitter on June 1st with this comment "I can haz g-slatez?" - you are now the owner of a brand new LG G-Slate 3D Honeycomb tablet. Congratulations!
What
1 brand new T-Mobile LG G-Slate 4G/3D tablet, courtesy of NVIDIA and Android Police.
How To Win
Entering the giveaway is really simple.
Complete either one of these to be eligible or both to double your chances of winning.
- Follow @AndroidPolice on Twitter, then tweet out a message that starts with the following phrase and ends with something original you can think of to spice it up - it could be anything mentioning the G-Slate, LG, NVIDIA, Android Police, Tegra 2, etc. Just don't forget you only have 140 characters, so make them count:
NVIDIA and @AndroidPolice are giving away a free LG G-Slate 3D Honeycomb tablet http://bit.ly/ap-gsl. <PUT YOUR OWN MESSAGE HERE>
OR
- Like/fan the AndroidPolice fan page on Facebook, then Like the entry for this article and leave a comment on that entry about the G-Slate, LG, NVIDIA, Android Police, Android, Tegra 2, or why you should be the one to win. Be creative :-]
That's it - there are no other steps this time around. Very easy, just like last time.
Terms
The giveaway starts immediately and runs until June 3rd, 11:59PM PST.
It is open to residents of the countries specified in the detailed terms and conditions below (not just U.S. - check the list to see if your country is there). Note: After careful consideration, we've added Malaysia, India, and South Africa to the list of eligible countries and removed Argentina (due to extremely high import duties).
The winner will be selected randomly from the pool of entrants, announced here, and notified via twitter, Facebook, or email.
1 entry per person for each method is allowed (1 for Facebook and 1 for Twitter). Entering more than once on either social site will not increase your chances.
NVIDIA and Android Police will ship the prize to the winner.
See the "Official Rules" below for the exact terms of the contest and eligibility requirements.
Good luck, everyone!

Last one was open to South Africa. Why not this one??? Booohooooo!
The last one wasn't open to South Africa either. The countries are the same, plus Malaysia, South Africa, and India and minus Argentina.
no South Africa in both competitions...Feeling Blue as always...T.T
@h3llb3nd4, after careful consideration, we decided to add South Africa to the list.
Since you were good enough to add South Africa, how about including Botswana as well? We're right next door and are part of the same customs union. Shipping would be pretty much the same, too.
After careful consideration, we decided to add South Africa to the list.
Counting out the UK!
Nice giveaway either way. Good luck to all.
Huh? The United Kingdom is included in the eligibility list. In fact, the XOOM winner was from the UK!
Artem... You're the dude! Thank you so much for adding South Africa! What a gentleman!
Why not Brazil???
Brazil and most countries that are not included were mentioned by David in the comments for the XOOM post. http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/04/22/giant-worldwide-giveaway-win-a-free-motorola-xoom-wi-fi-for-doing-close-to-nothing/
Carlos,
Brazil charges upwards of 80% on importation of these kinds of goods. That means if a person from Brazil (eg, you) were to win, you would have to pay around $600USD for your prize. It's hard to call it a prize when the winner would be forced to pay such an exorbitant sum.
wow. that's insane. However, Brazil does have a lot of yummie booty... so... it evens out.
Bahahaha yes. Yes it does.
LMAO this is an awesome post!!!
i'm so very IN... i might actually win like i always do xD
Thanks AP!! Great Giveaway!!
U have readers from Romania too....why aren't we the list?:(
All already answered in the previous giveaway's comments http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/04/22/giant-worldwide-giveaway-win-a-free-motorola-xoom-wi-fi-for-doing-close-to-nothing/.
count me in. I'm from Romania, but I have a friend in the US who can ship it to me.
Twitter and Facebook, that's doing a lot more then nothing for someone who doesn't have either...
Yeah! And what about people who don't have computers or smartphones or the internet??? Surely you should change the rules so the Amish can also win!
Thanks for these awesome giveaways! You guys are awesome!
Pick me please........
And Portugal? :S
You know I should get this. Who else will test and release the gapps-gb-3d-20110520-signed.zip package? ;D
Entered, done and done!
Im from Argentina but my sister is a legal resident of the US... Would I be able to enter and have it shipped to her (if im lucky enough to win, of course.)?
Sounds fine, as long as you provide a U.S. address for shipping. She will then be responsible for any taxes and import duties to get it to you.
Thanks for placing Malaysia on the Android world map Artem (I know this isn't how you pronounce your name though
).
GO TEAM ANDROID! =)
I'm in Italy but i can provvide an US address for the shipping.
Can I partecipate to the giveaway?
Great to see my country has been included.Fingers crossed.:)
Here we go again another great comp.I find it refreshing even if i didn't and don't win that a website can do such give-aways.
It is a simple competition that anyone can win and will im sure help the winner out in some way.
Well done guys for another comp so soon after the last one and well deserved pat on the back for NVIDIA too for their contribution towards the comp.
Why is Slovenia not in the list? You have all the countries surrounding us and we are in the EU so i dont think the customs or any laws could be a problem.
All of us in Malaysia rejoice.
About time we win something! lol
Awesome sauce!
Cheers to nvidia and you guys!
Did everything! Hope I win!!
I'm so glad ppl who live in Belgium can enter
AP, please feel free to hold a giveaway that does NOT involve Facebook or Twitter. I mean seriously guys. Lame.
tegra is the future
Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I live in NSW Australia, but I was just wondering why Queensland, Victoria, and the ACT aren't included in the list? Great competition by the way!
Competition laws make it illegal, basically.
Let me Win Please
Fulfilled both the conditions.......Tweet link https://twitter.com/jaganmangat/status/72266787789606912
What about Macedonia ?
So Malaysia is included in the list?
as usual no Saudi Arabia T>T
There is very little English-language material available regarding gaming/promotional law in Arab-speaking countries - we can't offer the contest in a particular region without investigating the law of said region.
Crap. I'm from Argentina
Why isn't the dark side of the moon on the list??
Because of the outrageous shipping costs, duh.
Done. Now send me 'my precious'.

Done. https://twitter.com/#!/awetdonkey/status/74590772938285056
I want to be part of it but I can't becoz I am not an American
I had to enter! Greed got the better of me.... (blushes)
Wow!! India also... Thanks @AndroidPolice
I wont win,so I wont participate, thus improving someone's else chance....good luck!!!
wow... thanks a lot for including India. love you people... yeahhh..
)
Portugal is part of the EU (European Union), therefore has the same importing taxes, duties as the other EU countries such as Spain, UK, France, Germany etc.
give us a chance too
@AndroidPolice Thanks for giving Malaysia a chance to win the G Slate. I'm into Android development so hopefully I have a chance to win this tablet. =)
How do "competition laws" make it illegal in Victoria (Australia)? I've never seen an exclusion for Victoria ever. Shame we can't enter if that's the case.
Yay free stuff. Signed up ! heres PROOF = http://twitter.com/#!/alucard3131/status/76743622913044480
