Just a friendly bump/reminder! Less than two weeks to go...
This is not your average t-shirt giveaway, not that there's anything wrong with t-shirts.
In association with Google Apps and Virgin America, we're giving away a new HP Mini netbook to help celebrate the launch of Virgin's in-flight WiFi service, which will allow you to use Google applications such as Gmail, Google Docs, and Google Search from all your favorite altitudes of and around 36,000 feet. Conveniently, it also works for the rest of the Internet, too.
This item is known more exactly as the HP Mini 1110NR and contains an Intel Atom N270 processor (1.60 GHz), 8GB solid-state drive, 1024MB of DDR2 SDRAM, and an 8.9" screen ideal for Peggle. But wait! You also get a handsome teal (or is it seafoam?) laptop sleeve emblazoned with clouds. This laptop sleeve technically fits 13-15" laptops, so inserting the HP Mini in there will be akin to throwing a silicon hotdog down a neoprene hallway, but whatever.
So what do you have to do to win? Read on.
The laptop sleeve: a vision in teal.
OK. This is not one of those comment-below-to-win operations. We will choose a winner at random from among users who make one or more blog entries on Bitmob between the contest start date, August 10, 2009, and the contest end date, September 10, 2009, with the following caveats:
• Multiple posts will count as multiple entries
• We will not count any posts we consider, at our sole discretion, to be spam or spam-like -- only substantial (doesn't mean "long") posts only
• Posts that appear in a Bitmob Spotlight or Bitmob Reviews Spotlight article will count as three entries
• Posts promoted to the front page of Bitmob will count as five entries
The HP Mini box again, because I got a new camera.
We will announce the winner on September 14, 2009. You must be registered on Bitmob with your full name and a valid email address to be eligible. Bitmob staffers and their families are not eligible. Void where prohibited, free shipping to continental U.S. residents only, sorry! Non-U.S. residents will need to cover shipping/handling/insurance via paypal.

I don't know if I have the writing chops to pull this off but, I will definitely give it my best shot.
(PS I'm okay for using my name, right? My actual login name is old-habit pseudonym, but once I got going on the sight I changed my display name to be the real one)>

I'd like to make the suggestion that you let writers know when you're not counting one of their posts, so that everyone has a better idea of what standard we're being held to. Of course that standard can't be very high, "only substantial posts only" .
Not something like here is my post, but i have nothing to offer or even remotely care about. This way discussions about games can go on even if it is repeated.
That way over all it makes for more community involvement which is the ultimate goal is the Community.
This encourages me to hustle up and finish a review I'm writing. Nose to the grindstone time.
@Omar - yeah dude, serious business.
@Demian - gotta agree with James on this one. That case is Blue. Ultramarine, if you want to get all art school about it.
Can't wait to use it
One of those little guys would make it obsolete that I carry my big 17" everywhere with me.
I'm hoping that the WIFI has filters to limit what some pervert can view.
I'm hoping that airlines don't try to tell me what I can and can't look at.
I've been looking at netbooks as an entertainment option for when I travel, and other than the new Nokia that was announced a few days ago, it was between this one and the HP that Verizon offers.
I'm hoping that airlines don't try to tell me what I can and can't look at.
As much as I'd love for this to be true, I doubt the airlines will go unfiltered. Their PR department would go into fits the first time some guy gets caught by the helicopter mom sitting behind him, because her kid wanted to know why those people on his screen had no clothes on.
