Congrats to John D. of Fruitland Park, Fla., for winning a Crucial M500 SSD and copy of Iolo System Mechanic in last week's giveaway. This week, I asked you for help deciding whether to give away a mini action cam, a waterproof iPhone 5 case, or an ultraportable speaker. The speaker won by a few tweets, so here you go, readers. Ask and ye shall receive (and don't worry; those other prizes will be coming soon).

We're giving away a pocket-size Boombotix Boombot Rex, which connects via Bluetooth to smartphones, tablets, laptops, and any other device with a 1/8-inch standard headphone jack. It's got built-in voice control so you can ask the time, dial a contact, or play a song, all while keeping your handheld device in your pocket. How you'll look talking to your speaker? Well, that's your business.

The cute little water-resistant 2.1 sound system, which sells for $119.99, measures about 3x3x2 inches and weighs less than a pound. It packs custom-tuned, 36-millimeter full-range drivers and a matching tuned bass woofer and you'll get 6 to 8 hours of battery life per charge.

After a successful run on Kickstarter, the product officially launches June 7, with preorders on now, but you have a chance to get your hands on one early in your choice of black, white, green, or blue. For free. How do you go about doing that? Like this:

  • Register as a CNET user. Go to the top of this page and hit the "Join CNET" link to start the registration process. If you're already registered, there's no need to register again.

And here's the disclaimer that our legal department said we had to include (sorry for the caps, but rules are rules):
