Starting tomorrow at 10AM ET, Verizon will launch a “4×4″ Twitter contest that will reward 14 (or is it 16?) lucky souls with brand new Galaxy Nexus devices. As the must-have Android device of the last year, you won’t want to miss out on this opportunity if you have yet to pick one up. From the 24th (tomorrow morning) through the 27th, you will have multiple chances to take home a brand new G-Nex, however, VZW is going to make you work for it a bit.  

The rules:

1.  Follow @VerizonWireless on Twitter.
2.  Each day for the next 4 days, an entry period will be announced that runs from 10AM ET through 11:59PM ET.
3.  Each day, a different mode of entry will be announced as follows:

4.  You will need to complete each task depending on the day.
5.  You can enter each entry period up to 10 times.
6.  Winners will be picked and announced by January 31 – notified via DM on Twitter.

Cheers Droid Insider!

Koush’s Tethering app is all the rage these days in Android. It has given those that aren’t interested in rooting, an opportunity to tether from their phone to a computer with little hassle. Tato has actually given it some good run here at CES and would definitely recommend it.

To celebrate its official release this week, Koush handed us 10 premium redeem codes to get a set of DL readers up and taking full advantage of their data packages. After all, you do pay for it, so why not use it however you want, right? That’s probably a conversation for another day.

So here is the deal. To enter to win, all you have to do is tell us how much data you consume on average each month and if you use any sort of tethering service on a regular basis. Simple enough?

Later this evening when we leave the show floor, we will pick the 10 winners.

The NFL’s regular season has come to a close, and with that we have a winner for this year’s DL NFL Eliminator Challenge that was hosted over at ESPN. Over 1,500 of you attempted to win the grand prize, which was a phone of your choice. Unfortunately, not all of you were able to last the entire 17 weeks – many of which were eliminated back in week 1 (like me). Two players did crush the competition though, choosing correctly for 17 weeks straight and bringing the title shot down to a tiebreaker.

Players therealjohnmark and lookingup24 picked the Eagles and Bears respectively in week 17 which were both correct, however, the Eagles put up more points (ESPN’s tiebreaker rule) giving the win to therealjohnmark. Nice work, boys.

John Mark’s prize is a phone of his choice, which he has decided should be the DROID 4. Obviously the phone is not out yet, but he is willing to wait until that time to get his hands on the first truly powerful 4G LTE slider on Verizon.  Congrats!

Thanks again for playing, everyone!

The final day of Two Weeks of Holiday Tegra is here! It has been quite the ride over the last couple of weeks – 9 of you have already won brand new Tegra 2 powered tablets from NVIDIA. But, to finish this contest with a bang, we are going really big and throwing out an Asus Transformer and its accompanying docking station to take you from tablet to laptop in seconds. The original Transformer has probably been the most popular Android tablet of the last year, so what better way to celebrate that than by giving it to one of our readers just before X-mas.

Let’s do it!  

And the winner of the Asus Transformer and docking station is…

Eduardo S who simply wants to spend more time with his wife next year.

Congrats Eduardo!  And a huge thanks again to everyone who participated.

Even if you picked up a Galaxy Nexus, Rezound or DROID RAZR some time in the last few weeks, I’m sure you wouldn’t say “no” to a free phone, would you? Motorola kicked off a new contest that will reward 6 people on Twitter with a shiny new white DROID RAZR as we get closer to X-mas. In order to enter, all you need to do is follow @Motorola and tweet something to your friends while including the hashtag #WhiteRazrXmas. Winners will be chosen on 12/27 – you can enter as many times as you’d like, as far as I can tell.

Oh, and if you live in Los Angeles, you can find a special white RAZR that Cee-Lo has hidden. Follow him on Twitter to get the clues for that.

Rules.

It is now Day 6 of DL and NVIDIA’s Two Weeks of Holiday Tegra. You still have five days to win yourself a nice present this holiday season that runs on Google’s Honeycomb OS all powered by NVIDIA’s Tegra 2 processor.
