I am please to be able to tell you that TheDigitalLifestyle.com is part of one of the biggest giveaways I have ever seen. Together with 30 other sites (see list
below) we will be giving away 31 HP HDX Dragon Entertainment Notebook and software worth over $4500 and I don't even think it's available in the UK yet!
Each site will be giving the laptop and software bundle on a set day starting May 9th and finishing June 8th. TheDigitalLifestyle.com's date is May 16th. You will have to be alert, I am going to be posting how to win on Friday 9th and drawing the winner May 16th. The best way to keep up to date is subscribe to the RSS feed so you don't miss out. I will also be giving a preview to how to enter on The Media Center Show so keep listening.
