SlashGear BlackBerry PlayBook Giveaway!

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 Lazaridis

The 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!

*Reviews may be edited or modified before publication and are considered works for hire under the 1976 Copyright Act. Submissions will be ineligible for payment or remuneration.

Competition is open to residents of the US over the age of 18. One entry per contest per person. Family members of Google, Office Depot and SlashGear/Android Community are not permitted to enter. Competition entries are only accepted via the specified SlashGear Facebook page; entries left in the comments section of this or any other post will not be recognized. One entry per person (and yes, we check).

The winners will be announced on SlashGear and will be expected to contact SlashGear via the following email: chris@slashgear.com ; they will be expected to respond within 24 hours else their prize may be forfeit and another winner selected. Editors decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into. Winner agrees that their name and details of their entry may be used for promotional purposes by, but not limited to, Office Depot and SlashGear.

Prize consists of one BlackBerry PlayBook WiFi tablet. There is no cash alternative or any other alternative for prize winners unless this prize should become unavailable, in which case SlashGear and Office Depot reserve the right to substitute another prize of equal or greater value.

Contest provided by SlashGear. Prizing provided by Office Depot. Any questions regarding this contest should be directed to chris@slashgear.com.
