If you hadn’t already noticed, SlashGear and our sibling site Android Community are in a tablety-mood at the moment, with a handful of Motorola XOOM slates that we’re simply desperate to give away to our readers. Office Depot has generously given us a BlackBerry PlayBook WiFi tablet to give away too; check out exactly how you can win this QNX slate after the cut.
It’s a prize worth $499.99, and features a 7-inch touchscreen, WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS, along with Adobe Flash support. There’s also two cameras, and RIM has thrown in Android app compatibility so that the PlayBook won’t be short on software to run when it hits the shelves.
Hands-on with no less than RIM founder and co-CEO Mike LazaridisThe BlackBerry PlayBook goes on sale April 19, and is available to pre-order from Office Depot here. One lucky SlashGear reader will get a PlayBook of their own for doing nothing more than checking out the SlashGear Facebook page, however. Full instructions are below…
To stand a chance of winning the BlackBerry PlayBook, you must:
1. “Like” us on Facebook: facebook.com/slashgear.com
2. Comment on the wall saying something nice like “SlashGear and Office Depot are re-writing the PlayBook with this brilliant giveaway. #PlayBook” – you can change the text, but you must include the tag “#PlayBook”
Contest begins April 13, 2PM PST, and ends April 18, 2PM PST. The winner will be announced here in the main news feed and at our official Facebook page.
WINNER will be given the opportunity to submit a review of their BlackBerry PlayBook and have it posted on the front page of SlashGear.com!
