Nokia 7290 and my ideas

I have this great idea that will make the Nokia 7290 become remotely useful. Notice how these “72″ series phones are looking more and more like flash drives? I really must write this down quick for the effects of evening alcohol are dissipating fast!
When the phone enters ‘flash drive mode,’ it automatically shuts down the […]

Motorola’s sub $100.00 mobile phones

Everyone’s riding on the $100.00 bandwagon, so it’s good times for everybody. Motorola is showing off their line of sub $100.00 phones. The five models (C118, C168, C139, C257, C261) can call, send SMS, and have a long battery life. Some have FM tuners and their high end model (C261) has a VGA camera and […]

Nicholas Negroponte’s $100.00 notebook computer

This one I just had to post because it almost sent my tears rolling. Countries that have been left behind by the technology handicap will be able to catch up with the $100.00 laptop. Just to give you an idea how poor is poor, several Asian countries have a disparity of people (~ 90% of […]

Japan: mobiles and landlines merge?

It’s true for several Asian countries - that the price of riding the wireless wave is getting way cheaper than being wired. And it’s just not a matter of price - but convenience and peace of mind as well. Applying for a landline can take days. Disconnecting it can take even longer.
With mobile phones getting […]

Samsung’s hottest phone

The last one and a half years in phone history has brought about some creative as well as bizzare mobile phone concepts. There was the kinky phone attachment that made “phone sex” truly possible. There was the finger receiver phone concept that made it truly possible for your “fingers to do the walking.”
Now Samsung […]

Treo 700w launched: The case of the Mondays

You get a funny feeling down in your stomach when Palm launches the new Treo and the press says that Palm was dealt a huge blow, conceding the handheld platform war to Windows Mobile. You know something went wrong in spite of the successful launch when you get comments like:
“It’s about growth and about […]

Digital Photography and weddings

I thought I’d share with you an insightful article from Kelly Turner of Macworld. This is a piece on the changing mindset that film dominates the wedding photography industry. Now I always thought that film photography was proliferating in the ginormous poster slash billboard niche. But hey, times change and the change might just be […]

Nikon DSLR exploding frenzy

Remember the medieval times when people just spontaneously combust due to unstable gases in the food they prepared? Well the same can happen to your Nikon DSLR. If you want to create a mini 4th of July show inside your camera bag, all you need to do is follow one simple step: buy fake li-ion […]

iPod nano screen scratches easy

Uh oh, looks like Apple’s engineers made a boo-boo with the iPod nano’s screen. It seems like this piece of tech wear isn’t “wear and tear.” Small, flat products with a screen that takes up a considerable amount of real estate are really prone to getting damaged.
Which is what happened to my iPAQ 4350 one […]

Motorola RAZR V3x

There’s a lot of hype with the Motorola’s new RAZR. A rundown of its features will reveal nothing earthshaking to the industry - 2.0MP camera, dual cameras for some 3G action, and memory expandable to 512MB Transflash.
One thing to note though - the V3x will be compatible with a huge range of media formats including […]
