Samsung Mobile South Africa is giving away 20 Galaxy Note devices. Dubbed the "Doodle for Charity" Competition, fans are invited to create an artistic masterpiece using a virtual Galaxy Note S-Pen to help raise funds for charity. Launched a month ago, the competition has created a platform for Samsung fans to show how creative and generous they can be.
For every entry submitted, Samsung will donate R5 to International Nelson Mandela Day, an initiative of the Nelson Mandela Foundation.
To enter, fans need to merely upload a picture and then edit it using a virtual Galaxy Note S-Pen to create an artistic masterpiece. Entries are then published and shared via Gallery where the rest of the community can vote for the best 'doodle'.
In addition, fans can also enter by viewing or sharing a video about the Galaxy Note with their friends on Facebook. Samsung will donate R5 to Nelson Mandela Day for every video viewed or shared.
Four devices have already been won and the competition is heating up as community members spur each other on to create more doodles and rally for more votes and video shares.

Are e-readers and tablets headed the way of the safety razor? King Camp Gillette is frequently given credit for pioneering the business of deeply discounting a platform product (the razor) in order to lock consumers into a recurring, platform-specific, revenue stream (razor blades). It worked for the shaving industry; it seems to work in the mobile-phone and ink-jet printer businesses; so why not for tablets and e-readers?
One of my favourite features of the custom rom MiUi has been the ability to have a thin bar that is constant throughout the UI showing your battery status, now thanks to this new application there is no need to be envious of MiUi users anymore.
