Vodafone UK today announces the launch of LiveGuy – an interactive game of cat and mouse using the power of the new Dell Inspiron Mini 9 ‘netbook’ with Vodafone built in mobile broadband.

LiveGuy will be travelling the length and breadth of the country taking in 11 cities in 11 days from Edinburgh to London. Each day LiveGuy will be giving away three Dell Inspiron Mini 9 Netbooks with Vodafone built-in mobile broadband to anyone who can find him and say the magic words "You're LiveGuy and I'm a Vodafone winner". Online users can also win a netbook by pinpointing LiveGuy on a Google Map.

LiveGuy will be on the move using his netbook to post clues and pictures as to his whereabouts through his blog which you can find at www.findliveguy.com, on his Facebook profile, his You Tube Channel, Picassa and Twitter.

Live Guy starts his mission today, Monday November 17th, in Edinburgh and then moves throughout the country completing the tour in London on Friday 28th November.
