Samsung partners with Intel, MeeGo for 'Sing to Win' tilt

MANILA, Philippines - Samsung Electronics Philippines Corp. (SEPCO) recently partnered with Intel and MeeGo for the “Sing to Win,” a make-your-own-music-video contest.

Banking on the Filipinos’ passion for singing and enthusiasm in social networking and video-sharing sites such as Facebook and YouTube, which introduced international Pinoy singing sensations Charice and Arnel Pineda, among others, the Sing to Win contest invites consumers to sing, direct, and edit their way to stardom.

The mechanics of the contest are simple. Just catch the Sing to Win roadshow in SM Pampanga, until Sept. 21, and SM North Edsa, Sept. 29 to Oct. 5, and choose a song and perform it at the Intel-Samsung booth.

Then, at the end of the song, say why or how the PC has/will change your life. Jazz it up some more by editing the video using Intel-powered computers on-site, and then upload it to YouTube. The video that has the most number of “likes” receives a Samsung N100 netbook.

Also as part of the Sing to Win contest, Samsung is giving away exciting freebies for every purchase of Samsung mobile PCs.

There’s a free MeeGo netbook sleeve for every purchase of N100; a Samsung E1080 handset for the Samsung NC110 series, NP300, and RV420 series, and a Samsung ML-2525 printer for the RC418 and RC420 series.

This promo is valid in all of the participating IT shops on the following dates: up to Sept. 21 at SM Naga; until Sept. 30 at SM Baguio; until Oct. 14 at SM Pampanga; and Oct. 1-31 at SM North EDSA.

Customers just need to present a photocopy of any valid ID and sales invoice to the designated redemption areas to redeem their free items.

The Samsung N100 is the first netbook with MeeGo OS powered by Intel Atom Processor. Perfect for people on the move, it ensures efficient and enjoyable user experience with a fast boot-up process, energy-efficient design, and easy access to online and offline contents, making it easier to stay connected.
