Oprah myTouch 3G $100 off promo ending soon!

As part of a promotion celebrating Oprah Winfrey's 24th year on the air, T-Moblie is taking $100 off the cost of the Google Android-based myTouch 3G. That brings the final cost down to $99.99 with a two-year contract.

The promo ends Sept. 24, so those interested need to act quickly. New customers who want to get their hands on the device can type in a special code--"KICKOFF24"-- when buying online.

The myTouch 3G landed (quite literally) in Justin Herman Plaza on August 6 (see write-up).  While the San Francisco debut was pretty amazing, what took place in Chicago was off the charts.

On September 8, T-Mobile sponsored the kickoff party for Season 24 of "The Oprah Winfrey Show."Check out the video with the Black Eye Peas singing "I Gotta Feeling" with what T-Mobile describes as a surprise flash mob of dancers on Chicago's Michigan Avenue. Of course, Oprah was dancing on stage while waving a myTouch 3G.

T-Mobile is certainly going all out to promote their growing Google Android offerings. Their ad campaign features The View’s Whoopi Goldberg, Los Angeles Lakers coach Phil Jackson and Jesse James of the Discovery Channel’s Motorcycle Mania series.

There is a lot of competition in the smartphone space right now.  It is clear that T-Mobile is committed to the Google Android platform.  Now developers need to get on-board to up the app offerings.
