Are you jealous of the Verizon employees who were offered a limited edition of the Droid RAZR? Starting tomorrow, Motorola will be giving away a special edition “Red Carpet” Droid RAZR MAXX to five lucky people who retweet the hashtag  #RedCarpetRAZR.

As you might have guessed, this giveaway is to promote the 84th Annual Academy Awards. Motorola says that nominees for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress will receive the phone within a gold sequined pouch and nominees for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor will get the device with a high-end shaving kit.

It’s officially the middle of the week and that means it’s time to give stuff away in an attempt to get you over the hump. Some of our friends just released a new Android mashup tee we thought might be relevant to some of your interests. Starting today, you can order Dark Knight Andy (along with some other Android shirts) over at darkknightandy.com.

To get things started right, they’ve given us a half dozen shirts to give away to you, the loyal reader. We’ve even got a couple ways to win, meaning the crafty entrant can score multiple entries to the contest.

First, you can leave a comment on this post. Tomorrow, we’ll pick three winning comments at random. To leave a comment on this post, you’ll have to be registered here at Android and Me, but you probably already knew that was coming. We’ve got plenty more user-only contests coming up soon, consider this a warning (an awesome warning that comes with free stuff).

Second, you can tweet to win. All you’ve gotta do is tweet the hashtag #DarkKnightAndy and you’ll be automatically entered to win. On Saturday, we’ll pick three random tweeters. To make entering easy, we’ve included a tweetbox below:

You can feel free to change it up, just make sure you leave in #DarkKnightAndy, as that’s how we’ll be tracking the entries. As always, we’ll be using RowFeeder to make sure we catch every single one of your tweets.

If you don’t win, don’t worry. You can always score the shirt at http://darkknightandy.com, which begins shipping tees next Tuesday, November 8.

To celebrate the long-awaited release of Shadowgun into the Android Market, we’ve paired with @NVIDIATegra to give away an awesome tablet prize pack, featuring the ASUS Slider, a Jawbone Jambox Bluetooth Speaker, and a $25 Amex gift card to get you started in the Tegra Zone.

To celebrate the long-awaited release of Shadowgun into the Android Market, we’ve paired with @NVIDIATegra to give away an awesome tablet prize pack, featuring the ASUS Slider, a Jawbone Jambox Bluetooth Speaker, and a $25 Amex gift card to get you started in the Tegra Zone.

So how do I win?

Since we are nearing Halloween and we are a community of do-it-yourselfers, we figured a costume contest was in order. And not just any contest, but a DIY costume contest.

Hello, I'm from the internet.

We’re talking cardboard, foil, duct tape- anything you’ve got laying around the apartment or in the garage that can be strapped together to potentially win a brand new tablet.

The theme? Futuristic sci-fi bounty hunter, of course! Take a look at our Shadowgun review to get a sense of the game. The protagonist is a hulking badass who runs around in flack armor shooting stuff with large guns. We figured this would make for some awesome costumes.

To enter, simply build a ridiculous costume and submit a photo here on this post, as a comment. You can post it to Twitter, Flickr, Google+, Facebook- anywhere! In case you want to actually rock the Shadowgun look on Halloween, we’ll leave the contest open til Nov 1st. Just make sure you come back here and share the link with us. The Android and Me editors will review all the entries and select a winner the day after Halloween.

I like free stuff and all, but even I have limits.

If you want to participate but aren’t in a cardboard cutting mood, we’ve still got something you can win. Just for tweeting a link to this contest, you could win a limited edition Android and Me t-shirt. We’ve only got a handful left and we usually don’t print a design twice.

You can tweet whatever you’d like, just make sure to mention @androidandme and Shadowgun (that is how we are tracking entries). If you’d like the latest updates on future contests, make sure to follow @NVIDIATegra.

Happy Halloween and good luck!

We look forward to seeing all your DIY costumes and hope everyone has a very happy (and safe) Halloween. Make sure you eat plenty of candy and play plenty of Shadowgun. Then come back here to see all the entries. PS: This contest is open to anyone, regardless of geographic location.

To get the creative juices flowing, here is a high-res wallpaper of the main character in Shadowgun. Click for full size. Or click here for one with the logo.

You know the old adage, “Two is better than one.” Well, we’re following [...]]]> Update: The contest is closed! We have our winners! Congratulations to our first winner through Twitter, @theasiansteve and our second winner Karla (KarBar) from the comments on this post. Check your emails for further details. Hope you both enjoy your new G2x!

You know the old adage, “Two is better than one.” Well, we’re following that advice for this week’s contest. You’ll have not one, but two chances to win an LG G2x!

Big shout out to NVIDIA, again, for coming through with an excellent prize to pass on to you readers. This contest will be open until Friday at 12PM CST when we will announce the winners. Read on after the jump for details.

How to enter

This contest is closed!
Normally we ask that you either tweet or leave a comment to win, but this time we’re doing both. To win the first G2x, we ask that you tweet a link to this page with the hashtag #MidweekMadness and mention @androidandme. The winner will be chosen at random via RowFeeder monitoring. You can enter once per day. For your convenience, you can tweet using the box below:

Please follow us, so that we can send you a Direct Message to make sure you know you’ve won. We had a winner in the past who missed the Mentions we sent and ended up forfeiting the prize. Let’s not have that happen to you!

For the second G2x, the winner will be determined by a random draw from the comments on this very post. All you’ve gotta do is leave a comment below. Make sure you use a real email address, so we can contact you if you win. We’ll announce a winner on Friday at 12PM CST. Check the site for an update, or keep an eye on Twitter to see the results. Good luck!

Sorry, but we have to restrict the winners to US participants only!

We have a feeling most of you know [...]]]> Good news, everyone! NIVIDIA has been awesome enough to ship us a box of four brand new, WiFi-only Motorola XOOM tablets featuring the new NVIDIA Tegra 2 dual-core processor. We’ll be giving away all four over the next few weeks, starting today with a simple Twitter contest.

We have a feeling most of you know exactly what this beast is capable of, but for those not in the know we’ll run through the specs. The XOOM is running Android 3.0 (Honeycomb), has a 10.1 inch screen, has dual cameras (5MP rear, 2MP front), and of course is sporting a dual-core 1ghz NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor. Because it’s got a Tegra inside, it’s also got access to TegraZone, a curated mini-market featuring the newest and best 3D games Android has to offer.

Check the video below for our poolside unboxing (it was a nice day out) or scroll down below for contest details!

Win a XOOM on Twitter

To be entered to win our first XOOM, all you’ve gotta do is craft a tweet with two key pieces: the hashtag #iwantaxoom and the Twitter handle @NVIDIAtegra. For example, you could tweet,

Man! #iwantaxoom with the @NVIDIAtegra 2 for the awesome games.

Or you could say

I’m a nerd so #iwantaxoom with an @NVIDIAtegra to do homework. And to adjust my glasses with the front facing camera.

The key to remember here is to include #iwantaxoom and @NVIDIAtegra. If you do so, you’ll be automatically entered in a random drawing, to be held Monday morning (5/2/11) for a free, brand-spankin’ new WiFi-only XOOM. You can use the tweetbox below or you can tweet to your heart’s content through your own apps/channels, just make sure to include the key phrases. Good luck!

If you’ve got any questions, please leave a comment here and we’ll get you an answer. If you don’t use Twitter, stay tuned! We’ve got more XOOMs coming soon and they will be given out through non-Twitter channels!

Contest provided by Android and Me. Prizing provided by NVIDIA. Contest is US residents only (sorry, legal request!). Any questions regarding this contest should be directed to clark@androidandme.com

We have a winner! With almost 3k entries counted, the lucky XOOM-owner-to-be is Jacob Stroop, aka @israel941. Congratulations Jacob! And the rest of you, stay tuned, we’ve got more XOOMs coming your way soon!

Slacker allows you to listen to free personalized radio on your mobile phone, with millions of songs from 1000s of artists. The services are similar, but Slacker offers 4x the music catalog of Pandora. This is because they work with the labels and they constantly provide fresh content.

The application is free for anyone to download(see QR code), but users can also sign up for a Radio Plus account with premium features.

The benefits of Radio Plus include:

• No ads: Upgrade and you’ll never have to hear an audio ad or see a banner ad again! You’ll enjoy unlimited and uninterrupted listening with Slacker Radio Plus.
• Unlimited skips: With Slacker Radio Plus you can skip as many songs as you want. Basic Radio listeners are limited to 6 song skips per hour, per station.
• Complete song lyrics: Want to sing along? Slacker Radio Plus subscribers get complete lyrics to all available songs. You can read the lyrics as you listen to your favorites.
• Unlimited song requests: Create perfect custom stations by requesting an unlimited number of your favorite songs. Simply search for any artist and pick the songs you like to add to your station.
• Station caching: This let’s you enjoy your station whether connected or not and gives you about 5x the battery life vs. streaming.
