Verzio Duplii Review: Dual SIM done right?

The Verzio Duplii is one of two phones (the other one is the Twinn) launched in the Philippines. It is the first “looks good like it ain’t hacked” phone that holds two SIM card slots active simultaneously.
Real estate shows off a fantastic phone design as the Duplii was engineered by former Sony Ericsson and […]

Unlocking frustrations turn Apple into a jaded company

Watch this video. It shows off the frustrations of Apple iPhone third party developers and their cry to keep the iPhone free. For me, the most successful campaign of Apple was their “Think Different” slogan. It made Mac users feel that they were special.

It’s a bit scary that the new NFC technology is slowly gaining momentum. I say this as a good thing, but it is scary at the same time. For one, we can get all clumsy with our mobile phones. With the phone slowly taking the place of the credit card, we can lose more than […]

The difference between a computer and a phone

This ad caught my eye. It is a vertical banner ad for eatoni.com which is a product that simulates something close to the BlackBerry SureType mode of texting. What it does is reorient your numerical keypad into a QWERTY keypad design. By pressing the number “1″ for instance, you get to choose between the letters […]

The video has spread over the Bluetooth airwaves and thumbdrives across Internet cafes and social gatherings. The people of Iraq, according to CNN have been spreading […]

ICUE: A better eBook reader?

After listening to the latest podcast of The Cranky Geeks, I decided to Google over a Java app that they’ve been talking about that lets you read eBooks on your mobile phone.

Well what’s so new about this? Nothing - except for the peculiar technology that flashes one word at a time on screen. Yup you […]
