At BlogHer ‘11 in San Diego, I carried my PC around with me the entire time I was awake, and that made me appreciate technology more than ever. In fact, it also helped me to realize that one of the greatest things about technology is just how freeing it can be. If you are carrying around one of the latest and greatest Windows Phones like the Samsung Focus, you’ll be connected to the things that really matter: email, Facebook, Twitter and by design, all my friends and coworkers. If you combine that with the sleek and lightweight Sony VAIO SA, you’ll also find out that you have a great PC with up to 15 hours of battery life if you add the extra “sheet battery”. This means that not once would you have to search for a power outlet while everyone else around you is in one place recharging. Can you imagine the freedom?
Well, you don’t have to imagine it any longer because we are giving away* a Sony VAIO S Series (valued @ $1300) Windows PC with sheet battery and a Samsung Focus phone (value $400) Windows Phone on this blog post. Intrigued? This contest is a chance to win the freedom of mobility via the latest and greatest technology. Not to mention the phone was used to shoot a music video. Imagine what you could create. I’m rather jealous of the whole package.
To enter the Windows Giveaway:
1. Post your answers to these two questions here and include your twitter handle:
2. Next, go to the 5 Minutes for Mom website (whom we’ve partnered with for this giveaway) and answer two different questions posted on their website. They are a great resource for all things Mom and blogger related and without their tips and tricks, I would have never made it through BlogHer11!
If you answer all four questions correctly by Tuesday August 23 you’ll be entered to win. Winners will be chosen at random next Tuesday and alerted via Twitter from @Windowsblog. It is imperative that you include your Twitter handle when answering on BOTH blogs so that we know you fully completed the task. Again, winners will be chosen at RANDOM. Happy tweeting and make sure to stop by our #win7tech chat next week to discuss travel and great travelling PCs with extra-long hours of battery life.

1. No, the Sony VAIO SA sheet battery does not need to be plugged into a Windows 7 PC in order to charge. While it can be charged while attached to a PC, it's also possible to charge the battery independently so it's ready to go when you need it. As a bonus, it's awesome that Windows 7 features dual battery life reporting in the system tray.
2. Three major retailers that sell Windows Phones are Radio Shack, Best Buy, and Walmart. Below is a link to the Walmart website, where Windows Phone 7 devices can be explored by navigating to their electronics department, and visiting the 'cell phones & services' area. http://www.walmart.com/

#1 - The sheet battery can be charged separately from the laptop, that's a great feature.
