We’d like to congratulate jod09 who was the first to post on our Black Friday Appstore article when he saw Mobi holding the iPod Touch!  Jod09 would have won a brand spakin’ new iPod Touch but you lazy bastards didn’t get enough of your friends to enter, so he just gets a pie.

Ok, seriously though, we know MobiRiot is new so maybe 50 entrants was aiming a bit high.  (You’re still lazy bastards, though!)  Jod09 does win $100 cash via PayPal so that and shoveling a few driveways will get him the Touch.

Congrats to Jod09!!  Be sure to spend the hundred on yourself because in this economy we doubt you’ll have anything else under the tree! 

Stay tuned for our MobiRiot Holiday PrizeFest which will be announced soon!  Many more prizes are coming so tune in and skip sending Santa a list.  He doesn’t like you anyway.

Our MobiRiot iPod Touch Contest is LIVE!

To celebrate the launch of MobiRiot.com, we are giving away a free iPod Touch 8 GB… just in time for the Holidays!

This contest is our way of getting the site off the ground while giving back to our growing user base.  We’re looking to continually build an intelligent, interactive community to keep the forums active and to contribute to the quality of user interaction.

It’s FREE and anyone can enter (except Mobi and his staff) so anyone can win.  Here’s how!

1. Sign up for a free account here at MobiRiot (Be sure to use an email where we can reach you.)
2. Type “I am registering” in this article’s post section
3. Post 15+ comments in our forums section. (Nuked comments don’t count.)

Now you’re qualified… here’s how to win!

Be sure to follow each post as you never know when Mobi will show up and make you a winner!  Remember, we need 50 entrants for the iPod Touch (otherwise the prize is $100 via PayPal) so get your friends and follow your headquarters for mobile gaming!

Good luck to everyone!  Thanks very much for supporting Mobi and his love for mobile gaming!

All of us at MobiRiot have decided we’d like to open up a live chat to our community.  We’ll also be running a live camera of our founder, Jason Lake, at work in his home office.  From time to time we’ll be doing live App Reviews as well, so tune in!

Now you’re qualified… here’s how to win!

The contest is open to registration beginning today, October 22nd, 2008 and remains open until we have our winner.  During the period of November 15-30, 2008 we will randomly place the special Mobi image (here) inside a front page article.  The first person to comment on that article wins the iPod Touch 8GB, assuming he or she is properly registered as explained above.

Therefore, the best way to win is to actively follow MobiRiot and participate in the forums.  (Now you see what we get out of this!)  Perhaps set up a RSS feed so you’re the first to know when new posts hit the site.  Regardless, this is a first come, first win contest, so be on your toes!

Thanks very much for entering and thanks for your support of MobiRiot.com.  We are dedicated to creating the very best mobile gaming (and application) website in the world.  It’s our goal to be your “one stop shop” for all things mobile gaming.  We’re always open to your feedback and appreciate your support!  This contest is just the very beginning of some big plans we have, so stay tuned!
