Gadgetell is giving away a Logitech MX Air wireless mouse as part of our Gadgetell Holiday Blow-out.

To enable effortless in-air navigation, the new mouse combines three important technologies – Freespace motion-control, gesture command and wireless – so people can point, select and play media files with just a flick of the wrist. In place of a traditional scroll wheel, the MX Air mouse features a touch-sensitive scroll panel. Media functions such as Play/Pause, Volume/Mute, Back and Select can be easily accessed in the air by pressing the large, orange backlighted buttons with the thumb.

To enter: Via the comment form below, tell us who would give your Pentop to, and why (what will they use it for).

This giveaway will close on Tuesday, January 31 at 11:59pm EST, then we’ll pick the winner at random. MSRP: $149.99.

You really aren’t doing too much this Sunday afternoon, right? So why not sit down, break out of your box, and show some creativity. We are planning on doing some video-podcasts in the near future and our podcast theme song is getting a little stale. Doug and I are looking for something with a little more feeling that we can love. And come on, what is a tech blog without a theme song?

To enter: Email us your submission to “gadgetell (at) gmail (dot) com” or post a comment with a url where we can find the audio clip. We would never ask something from you if there wasn’t anything for you—if you win, you can expect to get a copy of Adobe Audition 2.0 ($349 value) and Shure E4c earphones ($319 value).

For all of the rule and a guide to entering click here.

We took in all of your feedback from the slogan contest and posted a few other easy to win contests since. This time the entry is harder, but we have faith in you, our readers, and will reward the winner handsomely (if entries are really good there will be a runner-up prize too).

Alright, you have had time to get accustomed to and offer feedback on the new design. We have come down from our birthday/redesign high and are ready for giveaway number 4.  Adam’s not too fond of the slogan, so we want you to come up with a new one for us.  What will we give you for the winning entry?  The much-hyped Samsung Trace (t519) from T-Mobile - valued at $200.

This handset sports a SLVR-like ultra-slim design, claiming to be the thinnest phone on the planet. It is wrapped in a champaign-colored plastic shell with a 1.3 megapixel camera on the backside.
