Big Winners: DonorsChoose.org via the TechCrunch Challenge

Hi Everyone,

We'd like to congratulate Scott on being the lucky winning bidder for the Android G2. It ended up being a fierce competition with 28 total bids, 1 ebay winner, 860 dollars donated... and an entire generation of students who will benefit.

The auction was a great success and we appreciate all the inquiries we received regarding the Android G2. At the moment, we plan to keep this as a limited special edition, but we hope that doesn't keep you from donating to DonorsChoose.org via the TechCrunch Challenge. It's a great way for people to donate directly to specific projects at public schools, and we're sure you'd be able to find a cause you'd like to support.

A Tribute to the G1: The Android G2 PC

Hi Everyone,

As a special tribute to the newly released Android G1 running on a Linux-based OS, we here at gOS are proud to announce the Android G2 PC running on, of course, gOS 3.0 Gadgets.

The Android G2 PC is a special custom-built desktop, designed in the image of our favorite new "Android". We're delighted that the Android G1 will introduce consumers to all the great aspects of Linux and hope the Android G2 PC will bring the same excitement to a lucky household.


We are auctioning off this special tribute desktop PC on eBay and all proceeds will be donated to DonorsChoose.org via the TechCrunch Challenge.

DonorsChoose.org is a great organization that aims to provide students with the books, technology, and supplies they need to learn. Teachers ask for needed material, Donors choose a project they'd like to contribute to, and the Students (as well as everyone else) wins.

We fully encourage you to bid on eBay to win this limited collector's edition desktop PC to brighten up your home while at the same time lending a helping hand to the many students and teachers that need your help. Or consider donating directly to DonorsChoose.org. Every little bit helps.

-Dave


P.S. Special Thanks to Eric for the great job he did in building the Android G2 PC. Pictures of the entire build process can be found here.
