We've already given away a few BlackBerry PlayBook IOUs to lucky CrackBerry contest winners, and as we approach the April 19th launch date we're giving our audience yet another chance to win a BlackBerry PlayBook. This time we're going to get fancy and do it up social media style on the twitters.
HOW TO ENTER: For your chance to win a BlackBerry PlayBook, all you need to do is login to your twitter account, make sure you follow @crackberry, and from there tweet/retweet the following phrase:
Follow @crackberry and RT this message for your chance to win a BlackBerry #PlayBook! http://crackberry.com/win-playbook
PRIZE: The lucky winner will get a 16GB Wi-Fi BlackBerry PlayBook!
OTHER DETAILS: The contest is open from now until April 19th, 2011. We'll announce the winner the day the PlayBook is released. Entry is open worldwide. Only non-private accounts can participate (need public tweets). We're using a tweet contest service provider to administer the tracking, and the lucky winner will be pulled at random.
That's it. Easy peasy. If you're already on the twitter go ahead and tweet the magic phrase and you're good to go. And if you're not on twitter yet, well, now is the time for you to register (click here to download Twitter for BlackBerry). You'll have beginner's luck on your side. Good luck to everyone, and spread the word!
