Winner: School counselor Christine
The three lucky winners of a brand new smartphone or tablet of their choice can finally be revealed. We asked you to fill out a short survey in return for a chance to win and over 17,000 of you responded.
Congratulations to Christine O from Kansas, US; Pradeep R M from Maharashtra, India and Gary C from Victoria, Australia who were all selected in the prize draw.
We’re busy crunching the survey data and will share some of the results with you soon. In the meantime, here’s what our winners had to say when they found out they were set to become the proud owners of new gadgets.
Christine chose an iPad 3 as her prize but says she’s a “devoted user” of SwiftKey on her smartphone as it helps her stay down with the kids.
Gary won a Samsung Galaxy S3
“I work as a middle school counselor,” she said. “SwiftKey allows me to keep up with my students and text almost as fast as they do. Winning this has me thrilled to pieces! Thank you so much for a quality product that just continues to get better and better and for this amazingly generous prize.”
Gary opted for a Samsung Galaxy S3. “At first I couldn’t believe that I was one of the lucky three who’d won… I’m absolutely ‘over the moon’ about it!” he told us afterwards.
“Since switching to the intuitive SwiftKey on my tablet and phone, I’ve found that effective communication is so much easier with its predictive texts and it cleverly learns from me through connection to my Gmail, Twitter and Facebook accounts – magic!”
Pradeep, who asked for an iPhone 4S, said it was of real importance to him to be able to communicate quickly and easily. He explained: “Typing is one of the regular things that I do, especially while messaging which I do a minimum of 30-80 times day.”
But he says the challenge remains for all touchscreens to be as easy to write on as qwerty physical keyboards. We think we’ve cracked it with SwiftKey, do you?
Last but not least, a big thank you to the editors and readers of our blog partners, Mobile Nations and Pocket-Lint.
