Your not done yet with your mission just quite yet, you will also need to start 5 new substantial threads over at the notebooks.com forums.

Here are the details of the contest:

Today we’re launching Notebooks.com Forums, with the contest being its very first entry. To win you’ll need to register for Notebooks.com Forums and complete the following tasks by 3PM (PST) on May 23, 2008 :
1) Register for a Notebooks.com Forum account above. Reply to this post with your story about what you’ll do with the HP HDX if you win it. How will it change your life, or the lives of others you live or work with? Why do you deserve it?
Effort counts so be honest and be creative. Upload a video or send us a slideshow to illustrate your story. Feel free to link to your organization’s Web site. We want to hear substantial stories here- please no one-liners.
2) Tell your friends and family what you’re trying to win and have them comment on your entry and tell us more about why you deserve the HDX. Again, be creative and resourceful- ask your Facebook, MySpace, Hi5, Bebo etc. friends to check out your entry and comment. You need at least 5 replies to your entry to win.
3) Show us you’re a tech enthusiast, or at least eager to learn by starting at least five substantial, non-contest related threads at the brand new Notebooks.com Forums. Write substantial replies (at least 50 words) on at least 10 other threads. The more activity you have on the Notebook Forums, the more we’ll know you really want/need the HDX and that you won’t ditch Notebooks.com once we send you the computer

Rules
1) Only one entry per person. We’ve got fancy tracking software that can detect if you’re registering multiple times. We’re looking for quality, not quantity here.
2) Your story (Task #1) about why you deserve it and how you’ll use it will be weighted the most, but you cannot win without completing task #2 and #3. If you have no friends, try to make some or hope that someone else will comment on your entry
3) The winner will be selected by Notebooks.com and its decision will be final.
4) If we find your entry to be fraudulent we’ll delete it. If we get tricked into awarding the prize to someone who lied to get it we won’t ship you the prize and choose someone else that really deserves it.
5) The winner must agree to use the HP HDX for the purpose(s) stated in his/her contest entry and not sell it for at least two years.
6) Winner will be required to provide HP with his/her social security number and personal info for tax purposes BEFORE the HDX will be shipped (U.S. residents only).
7) If you win you must provide Notebooks.com with a valid street address (No P.O. Boxes), phone number and email address. The winner must agree to confirm his/her identity and anything/everything mentioned in his/her entry.
8) This contest is open to everyone, but it’s your responsibility to check your local laws and regulations. As much as I’d like my wife to win the HDX, Notebooks.com contributors, HP employees and their immediate families are ineligible to enter.
9) We reserve the right to adjust contest rules if anything goofy happens.
