This contest was dreamed up by me alone (and not Nokia) a long time ago. The original prize was going to be a NAVKIT, but not all those interested have an N800 so I decided to look around for accessories until I found the right prize to announce the contest. When I heard of the N810 coming down the pipes, I realized that it was the PERFECT prize because it would be something of value that no one yet had.

I have no sponsors yet and don't want to take money from Nokia directly as it would impact my editorial flexibility. I can still say when something REALLY sucks (like the camera and lack of Bluetooth A2DP and PAN!)

If I were to accept sponsorship, it would be from either retailers, mobile broadband carriers, or accessory manufacturers. Trust me - if I had sponsors, there would be a lot more prizes too. I have to go with the budget of what my limited advertising income provides.

Why am I holding this contest? Because I am curious. I've been in the internet tablet thing for two years now and have my habits down pretty well. I want to know how other real people are using (or would be using) them so I know which direction to take the blog. Without inspiration from you, I could easily have the blog wander off into it's own little world and eventually lose all interest. I don't want that to happen.

Does that clear things up?
