The Voting Has Begun!
So here we are folks – we’ve widdled it down to five finalists and you now get to choose who will win an Apple iPad.
Starting today you can vote for your favorite 7 Words Contest entry and we will continue to take your votes up until Friday, March 19th. After that, we will close the polls and will announce the winner on Monday, March 22nd!
Don’t feel too bad about choosing one over the other though – at this point, they will all walk away with a prize! However, only the one (Neo?) will walk away with an Apple iPad.
Who should that person be? That’s our question for YOU - so get out there and get voting!

Win an Apple iPad?

We’re giving away an Apple iPad!
Ooooh... Shiny!
So what is an Apple iPad? Just in case you’ve been living under a rock (or possibly a very large pine-cone), let’s review why the Apple iPad rocks:
- Features a large 9.7 inch multi-touch display which can work in any orientation.
- On the iPad, you can watch anything from HD movies and TV shows to podcasts and music videos.
- It can run almost 140,000 apps from the Apple App Store.
- With the iBooks app, you can read and buy books using the iPad’s high resolution, LED-backlit screen display.
- It features an impressive email, photos, notes, calendars, and contact apps.
- Only 1.5 lbs (no, that means pounds – not location based services)
- Do you seriously need more reasons??
The winner will also receive a 12-month subscription to TeleNav GPS Navigator for their cellphone (not the iPad) and an Arkon Universal Phone Mount. Four runners up will receive a 12-month subscription to TeleNav GPS Navigator for their cellphone (again, not the iPad), a Arkon Universal Phone Mount, and a TeleNav t-shirt.
So We’re Giving Away an Apple iPad- Now What?
Here at TeleNav, we’re all about getting you to the places you love. With that in mind, we thought it would be fun to run a contest that allowed you to showcase your favorite place while allowing you to have some fun. Hence, the idea for the 7 Words Contest was born.
How To Enter The 7 Words Contest?
Starting Monday, February 22nd until Sunday, March 7th, all you have to do is (1) take a photo of yourself at your favorite place holding up a note (can be handwritten) that clearly starts “Dear TeleNav,” and in the following seven words state why you love that place! Then (2) submit the photo directly on the wall of our TeleNav Facebook Page. All entries must be received by 11:59PM PST on March 7th.
For example, if you’re at a coffee shop, you might hold up a sign saying, “Dear TeleNav, I love their really big blueberry scones!” or if you’re at a restaurant, you might have a note that says, “Dear TeleNav, they have the most incredible pepperoni pizzas!”
Need some more help? Look at this example.
I really enjoy poo poo platters.
On Wednesday, March 10th, as judged by TeleNav’s most esteemed photo panel, on our blog we will announce the top five photos based on creativity and overall quality.
Make Your Voices Heard!
After the top 5 photos are selected, we will then open up the final stage of voting to you and the rest of the people of the interwebs! On Friday, March 12th, we will post the five finalist’s photos on our blog and voting will continue until Friday, March 19th.
The winner of the 7 Words Contest and the Apple iPad will be announced on Monday, March 22nd!
If you have any questions, please email Kenji at KenjiO@TeleNav.com. Good luck!

TeleNav Celebrated its 10th Birthday This Week!
Sep 11th
Tweet
I’m not sure how many of us who’ve now grown far beyond our childhood days can remember our 10th birthdays, but I’d bet that at the time, it was probably a big milestone for everyone. The first year you hit double digits, you had officially lived an entire decade and could now accurately make the statement “remember the 80′s (or 70′s, 60′s, you name it).” I’m sure my 10th birthday consisted of ice cream cake and a new Nintendo (yes, the original NES) game.
Well, this past Wednesday, on 09/09/09, TeleNav turned 10 years old and just like a little kid, we certainly see this as one of the major milestones in the history of the company. A few people have joked that in tech company years, we’re probably closer to 70 years old, but we’d like to think we still have the energy and passion of a young kid.
We celebrated internally with a great lunch and a chat with our CEO, HP Jin. HP talked about the early days of the company and recalled some of his first presentations that made reference to TeleNav having a strong team of 16 or 17 people. We now employ more than 800 people globally. Things have certainly changed in 10 years.
It was a great celebration and we all had a wonderful time, but we don’t want to keep the celebrating all to ourselves. We’re extending our birthday celebration into next week and will be posting videos (with cameos from some of your favorite tech journalists), interesting bits of information on the mobile industry and last but not least, one of the biggest contests we’ve had on our blog to date.
So, stay tuned and be sure to visit the blog often next week and join in our celebration of a great 10 years. We’re certainly excited for the next 10.
