During some of February we ran a little competition in conjunction with Alister Cameron‘s visit to Mobile World Congress, thanks to LG.
Today we’re happy to announce that Indra Arifin (@scrypton) was selected as our winner! He followed the instructions, retweeted a few of our tweets, and finds himself the proud owner of a new-release LG smartphone. Congratulations, Arifin!
We’ll have to check back in a few months’ time and see if he’s been convinced to switch away from his iPhone4..!

We’re delighted to welcome guest blogger Alister Cameron as Mr Gadget’s roving reporter at large, at the Mobile World Congress coming up later this month in Barcelona. Alister is an accomplished “blogologist” and has Australia’s second largest Twitter following, as well as his own well-respected blog on social media at alistercameron.com. He’s going to be guest blogging here for the next couple of weeks.
Along with my good buddy and Twitter guru Calvin Lee (@mayhemstudios), Alister will be attending the Mobile World Congress as a guest of LG, so we can look forward to some in-depth coverage of LG’s upcoming announcements about their exciting new tablet and 3D smartphone. Be sure to follow Alister (@alicam) on Twitter to keep up-to-the minute with all he’s up to. Plus, he might just be giving some things away to a few lucky people…
Hi gadget freaks!
Alister Cameron here 
And first off, just let me say it’s a real pleasure to be blogging here on mrgadget.com.au, on behalf of my good mate Arnold Aranez and the Mr Gadget team. If you’ve been reading this blog for any length of time you know what an amazingly energized and capable guy Arnold is, so it’s going to be fun trying to match his passion and wicked skillz as I do the rounds at Mobile World Congress 2011 (MWC) over in Barcelona, bringing you all the up-to-the-minute latest news and analysis.
Even though CES was just a few weeks ago, a number of tablet, smartphone and gadget manufacturers have kept some big announcements and surprises up their sleeves for MWC; not least LG who are very kindly flying me over there to be a part of the action as a member of their “Twitter Team”. Their other two esteemed guests are Calvin Lee and Will Francis – both exceptional tweeps and tech-heads in their own right. It’s going to be fun!

A couple of weeks ago we blogged on how Ricoh had snapped up the Best Consumer Compact and Innovation Award for their Ricoh CX4 and GD4 range. What better way to celebrate this win, than by giving away ONE award-winning Ricoh CX4?!
Thank you to Ricoh Australia for being generous enough to provide us with a Ricoh CX4 to give to one of our valued readers.

The company wants to woo developers to create Motorola-specific Android applications to help it differentiate from the competition.
Motorola has been pressing hard to get developers to create content specifically for its upcoming line of Android devices.
The world’s fourth-largest cell phone maker has been sputtering lately, as it is recording massive losses, cutting thousands of jobs, and seeing embarrassing court disputes with former employees. One of the main issues for Motorola is that it has never been able to come up with successful follow-ups to the extremely popular Razr handset.
The company has not officially introduced any Android devices yet, but it said it will have multiple handsets that cater to casual and enterprise users. Motorola said some handsets will be focused on multimedia and messages, and the devices will range from mid-range to high-end.
Motorola hasn’t announced when its handsets will be released, but one is expected to be available by the end of the year. The company will be facing some stiff competition though, as Google expects at least 18 handset manufacturers to release an Android phone this year. By establishing a tight relationship with app creators, Motorola is trying to differentiate itself from the likes of HTC, Samsung, and other Android phone makers.
