The Cheaper Mobile TV

If the Chinese phone manufacturing market boosted their global marketing, they would come up with hit phones such as this one. We’ve seen the fake Nokla phones being scattered throughout Asia so here’s part II of the scenario. Though the label says that it runs on Windows Mobile, well, it doesn’t. But there’s every right […]

The trick is to make them cheaper. The Nokia N77 is the second phone from Nokia to come with an internal DVB-H antenna. This module allows you to receive a mobile television broadcast. So there really seems to be a market for mobile television as mid range phones such as these boast mobile television in […]

Is Apple trying to revive the Newton? iPod touch says yes.

Back in 2001, the “in thing” was having a mobile phone with Bluetooth and a personal digital assistant. The latter allowed you to keep schedule, listen to music and view photos while your phone simply allowed you to send away text messages. You could sync both devices wirelessly, and this was the beginning of how […]

Although the Nokia Go Play event ended several hours ago (we took a post event trip to Equinox, a bar located at the highest peak of Singapore), there are a lot more things happening tomorrow.

Pantech IM-U410

Pantech has unveiled their latest multimedia phone and from the looks alone, this is a sure winner in design. Toting identical buttons and speakers on both ends, the U410 makes for a symmetric piece of tech that most multimedia fans will come to love.
With a bumped up 3MP camera, Pantech has decided to include a […]

Creative MuVo Vidz

I had about five minutes with the Creative MuVO Vidz - the miniature media viewer of Creative. Aside from playing MP3 and WMA, it also plays MPEG4 videos and displays JPEG photos.

For such a small device (roughly the size of my thumb), I wonder when a 1.18″ OLED widescreen can be augmented for maximum viewing […]

Sprint announces Mobile Movies

So the never-ending quest to appreciate film on small screens is still alive.
Sprint has announced their new service that allows users watch movies, clips, and their favorite TV shows from their mobile phone. Now why would anyone want to do this? A possible reason could be the flat US $6.95 rate they will charge over […]

Missing the point: Samsung DMB cameras

I love Samsung. They make great phones. They also make fairly okay point and shoot cameras, but nothing compared to what Olympus and Sony have to offer.
So while I was browsing this entry in Engadget, I couldn’t help but put an imaginary letter “u” somewhere between the word “DMB.” It gets even DMB-ER when you […]

The Nokia N92

I’m giggling like a kid now. I can’t wait to show this post to my friend who bought a Nokia N90 last week. Maybe I should start off with a nonchalant gesture - “hey have you seen the replacement of the Noki — oh.. err .. yeah the N90 is good too….” Or maybe i […]
