As in previous Nexus competitions, entrants will have to answer either a puzzle, a photo challenge or an essay question. Puzzles should be answered as soon as possible if you want to win, since they’re first-come, first-served, but other winners will be chosen by Google judges. You may only enter once for each day, and multiple entries may disqualify you. The first question will be posted tomorrow at 9:00 AM Pacific Standard Time, with the following days at these times, also PST:

Google didn’t mention whether they’d be sending out Verizon phones only in the US, or whether international unlocked or HSPA+ versions would be available. OF course, since we still don’t know when Verizon is planning the Galaxy Nexus launch, winners might get their phones well before anyone else in the US. Puzzle answers should be awarded fairly quickly, but essay and photo challenges may take some time – a full list of winners will be announced on December 5th. You can read the full rules here.

We had thousands of entries over at Google+ and you can see plenty of those comments over at the Google+ Giveaway Thread, we even cleared Google’s comment limit and had to open new threads a few times. We loved reading all the comments and appreciate each and every entry, but the time has come to announce the winner and that person is:

Josh Oman Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!

Congrats Josh, you are the winner of the Android Community Tabletpalooza Giveaway Week 3 of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Wi-Fi. I think the fact that you were willing to bow to my greatness might have influenced our decision making so congrats for being our winner!

Our sister site SlashGear has partnered with Spotify and we now have an official landing page over at www.spotify.com/us/SlashGear and everyone can get an invite thanks to SlashGear and Spotify. Make sure you thank Vincent over on Google+ and feel free to comment in this post. Our wonderful friend Deanna from Spotify set up the awesome landing page you see above just for us. So make sure to tell your friends or family and everyone else you feel like sharing with.

Spotify is currently available in the U.S. by invitation only, but SlashGear asked us to set aside some of the very first invites for friends. All you need to do is enter your email address in the box to get an invite.

It’s really simple just head here for the invite: www.spotify.com/us/slashgear/

That is it folks. Now wasn’t that easy? For all of our coverage of Spotify head over to our Spotify Portal. If you want to know everything about Spotify and not just about the Android side make sure you read SlashGear’s Spotify 101. Once again don’t forget to thank Vincent Nguyen at the via link below over on Google+.

I haven’t seen much advertisement regarding this sweepstakes but it starts on July 26th, and from what I’m reading they will be giving out 15 grand prizes. That grand prize is they will pay your AT&T bills for an entire year. Sounds pretty awesome right? It looks like the limit is $300 a month so if you have a large family they will only be helping with the bills, not paying them completely. Each week they will choose a winner.

They are also giving away 15 gift cards in the amount of $100 dollars for people that share this sweepstakes with more than 5 friends on Facebook and or Twitter. Make sure you look over the Official Rules so you don’t get anything wrong. I have T-Mobile and somehow I doubt I’d be able to talk them into paying my bills for a year, even though they are supposed to be buying T-Mobile here soon. But hey it’s worth a shot right? I’ll go ahead and enter anyways.

[via AT&T]

Spotify streaming music service is one that not only allows you to upload your own music to the cloud, it allows you to play music from the Spotify archives: thousands and thousands of tracks, old to very new, all for that one monthly price. Spotify launched in the U.S. by invite only just last week, feel free to read our Spotify App Review to get the lowdown. The contest we’re running here is all on Google+ be sure to check out our Google+ 101 Guide, and don’t forget the Android App for that as well.

Now for the rules! All you’ve got to do is the following:

1. Add +Vincent Nguyen (url: vincent.tv/+) to your Circle(s) on Google+*
2. Comment in our Spotify+ thread [a new post each time the old post fills up!] with some witty banter
July 18 URL: https://plus.google.com/103911183408644149411/posts/aYUYXLFYYw7
3. You’re entered into the contest!

*if you don’t already have access to Google+, send your name and email to giveaway @ slashgear.com

You’re already well on your way to getting Spotify for yourself – hours and days of magical musical entertainment for all!

Once we’ve picked you, the following will happen:

1. Vincent Nguyen, Chris Burns or Cory Gunther will ping you on Google+ to let you know you’re a winner.
2. You respond to that post.
3. We give you your invite code!

Each of these entries were made either on Facebook or Google+, where the entering party had to have had both in place to have earned a chance to be pulled for the contest. If you made a post on Facebook and submitted your name and email to get an invite to Google+, you’re in the contest as well, no worries! We picked all winners at random, made sure they were attached to the week and site they entered for, then went back and found our favorite comment (of the two they made) and pasted them here.

NOTE all ye contestants listed below, if you do not respond to us at Giveaway @ slashgear.com within 24 hours, your prize will be recycled into a week later on in the contest. If we’re already in contact about this winning entry and we’ve exchanged information, you’re good to go! Now without further ado, the winners!

First is Hampton Lepig (whose name, actually Hampton, has been veiled by us upon his request,) and a fine fellow he is! He’s the proud winner of a brand spanking new Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, a tablet of some note! Check out what he submitted as his Facebook entry right here, and wish him luck in his tabbing adventures!

Next there’s Paul Hammond, a fellow who may or may not be a weapon nut who also has an Android fetish, and certainly enjoys the occasional hot sauce and Guns N Roses party. This wild and wacky entrant won himself a lovely Asus Eee Pad Transformer and will be sitting pretty soon!

Finally there’s Alex Hernandez, a user who entered for the newest contest on SlashGear, that being for the G-Slate. Alex will be using the tablet to find a brand new pair of pants, ordering them from the internet on this 3D tablet with all sorts of red and blue visions for the future. Good times!

Remember now, this is only a roundup of the winners we’ve got already. We still have a couple of tablets to give away due to a complication with our first contest, that being for the Acer Iconia Tab A500. Because of this, the tablet will be the final prize offered by SlashGear, while here on Android Community we’re giving away our first Galaxy Tab 10.1. What an awesome way to finish up such a fantastic giveaway! Get to entering and remember – one per site!

The original post with all the details can be found right here. The rules are simple, just follow these few easy steps and you could win that tablet you’ve been waiting for.

1. “like” us on Facebook: facebook.com/androidcommunity.com
2. Comment on the wall so we can see you’re connected
3. If you don’t already have a G+ account, submit your email and name to Giveaway @ SlashGear.com so we can connect to you with Google+!
4. If you’ve already got a G+ account, add Vincent Nguyen (right here) to your SlashGear Circle and share with him and the Public a message so we know you’re in!

Make sure you stay tuned both here and at our sister site SlashGear because we have a few more exciting giveaways that will be following shortly. While we have you here, did anyone notice we are also giving away Spotify invites for free also? If you missed that make sure you check out our Spotify Invite Giveaway post as we have plenty to go around.

Android tablets are on the rise and the Xoom just got Android 3.2 Honeycomb, with the 3G Xoom and Transformer next in line. Perfect timing for you to win it courtesy of Android Community and NVIDIA huh? One more time for full instructions and all the rules head over to the original Tabletpalooza Giveaway post.

If Android phones are awesome, then free Android phones are awesome-er. The Droid 3 is being given away via Motorola’s Twitter over the next week. To enter you just need to re-tweet one of their tweets telling you to, and include “#DROID3win”, before 11:59 pm (EST) on July 12.

The Droid 3 is worth a tweet or two for its 4″qHD screen, TI OMAP4 dual-core processor, and world phone powers. Unfortunately it does have a signed bootloader, and if you aren’t already on Verizon, you won’t be able to get unlimited data. For a free phone (that doesn’t even stick you with a contract) I’d be willing to look past that though. So, keyboard fans, follow @Motorola and tweet your thumbs off!

Again, for all the details you can see the original post by clicking here as well as heading over to our sister site SlashGear. I know you guys don’t want to miss out on this opportunity so you better check those links out. We have sent out as many Google+ invites as our hands could handle over the past few days so you should be seeing that invite in your inbox soon hopefully.

The Acer Iconia A500 has seen some traffic as of late. It was just updated to Android 3.1 Honeycomb, as well as a beautiful port of the Samsung Tab TouchWiz UI so if you’re lucky enough to win you will have plenty of fun things to try.

Feel free to read over all the rules again by clicking here

If you follow @SamsungMobileUS on Twitter you would have seen the tweet a few minutes ago. It takes you to another neat video and you must share it with all your friends for a chance to win. Here is the link to that video as well.

You can enter to win, but they aren’t the only ones giving things away. Your good friends Android Community and SlashGear are also giving away a few tablets for the next few weeks so feel free to enter our Tabletpalooza Giveaway. For more information on the Samsung $500 giveaway check out the Samsung Twitter source link.

You have all probably seen plenty about this amazing tablet but in case you’ve missed it check out our full review. Samsung has a great video they have put together and it shows all the beautiful multitasking aspects of Android 3.1 Honeycomb as well as the enhancements coming from the Touch Wiz UI update. They have updated many widgets and bring some sweet changes to make things slick, and pretty.

Don’t take my word for it, check out the official video below. Oh and while you are here enter to win your own 10″ Android Tablet in our Tabletpalooza Giveaway.

For the original post here at Android Community you can click here as that gives you all the details and rules, it also explains the few easy steps you must take to enter and win. The first week we will be giving away the blazingly fast Acer Iconia Tab 500, and our pals at SlashGear are sending out the Galaxy Tab 10.1 to one lucky person.

We have 5 Nvidia Tegra 2 dual-core tablets we will be giving away over the coming weeks so I’d be checking out both AndroidCommunity and SlashGear daily if I were you. We will also be on Google+ and you can find us by clicking here.

Stay tuned and good luck!

I spent a few minutes over at the Taco Bell/Pepsi/Samsung official page and it looks as if they will be giving away 936 Samsung Galaxy Tablets, yup 936. The promotion is already started and will end on July 31st and all you must do is drink or pour out that large beverage and find a code imprinted on the bottom. Then text or email the code to be eligible to win. You can input the code here if you don’t have a cell phone.

You Del Taco fans might have to spend a few dollars at Taco Bell over the next few weeks and hopefully you’ll win a new tablet. For me my favorite thing from either taco joint isn’t a taco at all, but the Bacon Double Del Cheeseburger at Del Taco but I’m not a big fan of any fast food although In-N-Out sounds good now I think of it. More details available at the source.
