Update: And just like that, Microsoft has decided to do the right thing and award Sahas his prize.

Microsoft concocted a brilliant marketing campaign where they challenge mobile users to complete various tasks faster than a Windows phone. Any contestant able to “smoke” a Windows phone with their current mobile phone will be awarded a Hunger Games Special Edition PC worth over $1000. Even if you lose the challenge (which Microsoft has made certain of), you will win the opportunity to trade-in your current phone for a free Windows phone (excluding the Nokia Lumia 800). The contest has been hit heavily with accusations of Microsoft rigging the contest via various methods including deliberately throttling Wi-Fi speeds for non-Windows Phones. Despite the many unfounded accusations, one challenger has come forward claiming Microsoft blatantly denied him his prize after legitimately “smoking” a Windows phone with his Samsung Galaxy Nexus.

Sunday’s here, and we’re dying to give away some cool new Android swag. In last week’s Swag Sundays we were giving away a rockin’ Android t-shirt and today we’re going to announce the lucky winner as well as give you a chance to win some new swag. This week we’re going to give you a chance to protect your precious device in style. Up for grabs are four Cruzer Lite Androidified cases. We have two cases for the Motorola DROID RAZR MAXX and two cases for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus to give away. There’s no cooler way to protect your device than with one of these Bug Droid packing TPU cases and you can check out what I thought of them HERE.

One of the first accessories purchased by mobile consumers happens to be a protective case. Consumers certainly have good reason to protect their investments and nothing’s quite as depressing as dropping a brand new $600+ naked device onto concrete (I should know). Now if we were your normal local brick and mortar mobile carrier or accessory store, we might suggest a “cheap” $20 silicon cover to protect your device. Since we’re anything of the sort, we’ve found you a case that will not only protect your device, but will Androidify it!

There’s a pretty sweet deal going for anyone looking to pick up an unlocked GSM Galaxy Nexus. For about 13 more hours, the Daily Steals site is offering an unlocked 16GB GSM Galaxy Nexus for the insanely low price of $459. Okay, it’s not “insanely low,” but it’s still a heck-of-a-lot cheaper than the usual $700 price tag.

Anyone up for another Samsung Galaxy S III rumor? Even if you’re not, you’re getting one since there’s not much else to talk about. According to Korean publication DDaily, the Samsung Galaxy S III will have a built-in inductive charger capable of receiving a charge from a power source up to 2 meters away. Why they stopped at 2 meters is beyond me, I mean it’s a rumor, they should have blew our minds with something like 10 meters away. Now that would be a rumor! While inductive charging isn’t a new concept, this would be the first device able to pull a charge from a couple meters away.
