Calling all devs! If you have a few minutes to spare, take a few clicks and help complete the App Developer Survey. The survey will be used to help understand the current mobile apps ecosystem as well as the thinking of mobile developers. You'll need to have developed mobile apps already as you'll be asked questions along the links of type of app and number of downloads. The survey only takes a few minutes and upon completion you'll be entered to win a BlackBerry PlayBook. So if you're a developer then spare a few minutes to help the community and chime in with your answers.

We love our communities! Each of our individual sites -- Android Central, CrackBerry.com, iMore, WPCentral and webOSNation -- has its own incredibly passionate and knowledgeable community of forum users. Each has its own strong identity and we never want to compromise that. Which is why we went with Mobile Nations as our community network brand. It allows us to continue to respect the culture of our individual communities while continuing to push all of the sites forward and making it more welcoming for users who switch between platforms to find their way into another Mobile Nations site. All combined, we truly are the United Nations of Mobile!

Help Us Improve Our Forums: We want to continue to make our communities even stronger. We've put together ten quick questions that will help guide us on that mission. Whether you visit the forums often or just casually lurk, we want want to hear from you. The survey will only take a minute or two, tops. Thanks for participating!

The tablet wars are heating up! Apple is getting set to announce the iPad 3 next month. BlackBerry is going to release a major PlayBook OS update any day. The Kindle Fire is hot as is the Transformer Prime in a sea of Android tablets. And Windows 8 tablets are getting ready to enter the battle.

Pardon the interruption in our regularly scheduled cracktastic programming, but we need to pause for a few minutes to better learn about you! We know all readers and members of CrackBerry.com are interested in BlackBerry Smartphones (why else would you be here?!), but in an effort to better understand our site visitors and their needs and to make way for future site improvements, we want to know more.

If you're up for the challenge, it'll only take five or so minutes of your time and will help us pave the way for an even bigger CrackBerry.com that is better serving your needs. Much Thanks!!

It's been a little contest crazy around CrackBerry lately, but that's ok.... we are mixing the giveaways in with a bunch of quality content and I haven't heard anybody complaining about chances to win free stuff yet :) That said, there are a couple deadlines approaching we wanted to make quick note of again here on the blogs:

• The Developer Survey we mentioned last week is still running but will end this weekend. Interpret is putting together an exciting set of data about mobile app development and needs your input. Take the survey here and be entered for your chance to win a BlackBerry Curve 8520/8530. Heck, if those phones aren't your style, you can also opt for up to $550 to purchase the phone of your choice.
• Since not everybody will qualify for the developer survey prize, one more reminder: the Smartphone Round Robin contest is still running, but will end on Thursday. You can enter to win the BlackBerry Smartphone of your choice by posting in this thread (or any of the other SPE editors' Round Robin threads in the forums). Everybody's been asking so here's the news: we are announcing the winners on Friday!

Developers take note: The folks at Interpret are looking to find a bit more about you and they have a brief survey to do just that - finish that, enter your info at the end, and be entered into a drawing for a free BlackBerry Curve 8530 or 8520. Non-developers, feel free to take part to be entered as well. Either way, go on and let 'em know how you're feeling about mobile apps these days.

* Keep in mind this survey is being run by the folks at Interpret - not everybody who clicks to take the survey may be elgible to complete it (based on criteria chosen by Interpret). If you don't qualify for this one, no worries, there's always lots of chances to win stuff at CrackBerry coming your way....
