Giving Tuesday and Sony XperiaIt’s been a long week of deals, deals, deals.  And that’s fine: we all need some level of tech in our lives, and there’s definitely nothing wrong with saving a few dollars.

The idea is that while we’re out spending money on gifts, we can also give a a gift to a worthwhile cause. There are a lot of great organizations behind it, like Donors Choose, the United Way and the United Nations Foundation. Plus lots of retail outlets are chipping in with matching donations and special offers. The best way to find out how to participate and what other organizations are doing is to visit their website, http://www.givingtuesday.org and check the #givingtuesday hashtag on Twitter. If there’s an organization you’d like others to consider donating to, definitely let us know in the comments!

Speaking of giving, we’re actually giving a little something away, ending today: a Sony Xperia Tablet.  Enter below by using the widget; we’ll be choosing a winner tonight at midnight.

We’ll pick a winner on Tuesday, once this whole Thanksgiving/Black Friday/Cyber Monday madness is over!

In case you don’t already know, the Xperia S is a 9.4″ touch screen tablet from Sony running Android, with access to all the Android apps in the Google Play store and 16GB of storage to use for apps, music and video. It also gives you access to the Sony Entertainment Store, and separate user profiles so the kids can safely use it too. Normally it retails for $499, so I’d say this is a pretty awesome prize!

Win a ZAGGsparq Portable Battery for Your Smartphone

zaggsparq portable battery for smartphones and tabletsWhen your cell phone runs out of power, the result can be anything from just annoying to incredibly dangerous. And try as we might, it’s hard to stay charged all the time, especially when you really need to make calls. It makes sense to have a backup battery for those times, which is why we’re giving away a ZAGGsparq Portable Backup Battery for your phone.

The ZAGGsparq works as both a backup battery and a wall charger, so you only need to carry one device to stay charged. The wall charging feature recharges your phone up to 4 times faster than a standard USB charger, while the backup battery will get you 2 charges on your device. The ZAGGsparq is compatible with just about all of the major iOS and Android devices (including tablets), so odds are it will work with your device.

If you think you could use a portable battery (and we think you could!) it’s easy to enter. Use the widget below and go to our main giveaway page to leave us a comment!

Proof of just how hard it is to drive & text: AT&T’s texting while driving simulator at http://www.itcanwaitsimulator.org/

Texting while driving is dangerous. It turns out that in the United States, someone is killed or injured once every five minutes on average in a crash that happens while a driver is texting and driving.

AT&T is looking to raise awareness of the problem with their It Can Wait campaign, where they encourage people to wait until they’re not behind the wheel to text. They also have an online pledge called “No Text on Board” with over 500,000 signatures at itcanwait.com.

We want to do our part to help you be safe too! That’s why we’re giving away a BlueAnt S3 car speakerphone. You can use it to make and receive calls, or to ignore calls while you’re on the road. The built-in vibration sensor knows when you get in the car, so you don’t even have to remember to turn it on. Just get in the car and go!

To enter all you have to do is follow the directions below to follow us on Twitter! But hurry, we’re only accepting submissions till Friday at midnight.
