Philippines, Technology News & Reviews
When WikiPilipinas officially launched last week, the proponents of the project explained how they envisioned to carry the idea of a free online encyclopedia and cook it into something that will have a Filipino flavor.
What those ingredients are to make it truly Filipino that we can call our own is something I can’t still fully imagine. But my questions which hasn’t yet been answered is –Will WikiPilipinas redefine what is notable?

While we’re still talking about phones this week, let me point you to another leaked picture of the rumored Google GPhone.
Is this the one, really? See picture after the jump.
One of the items in my long list of Mobile 2.0 capabilities is Ajax support especially because I’ve been using Netvibes more and more each day. My current Samsung SGH i600 cannot load the site properly just like many other mobile phones, despite using more advanced web browsers like Opera.
There were a lot of reactions from the crowd when Nokia showed their video presentation about the future of UI in the mobile phones. Before any of the new phones were introduced, the video showed a familiar picture of a full screen, touch screen Nokia phone.
See a copy of the video here:
Nokia announced OVI yesterday during the Go Play! launch. With the expansion of their core business from mobile devices to services and applications, here’s an overview of the Nokia OVI roadmap.
It’s a newly coined word, this bacn. Been reading a lot about it lately and first thought it was a new Web 2.0 service. Turns out it’s just another fancy word for an email spam that quite isn’t.
Four new phones were launched today, dedicated mainly to mobile gaming, music and entertainment — a new Nokia N95 8GB (Black), the super slim Nokia 5310 Xpress Music, Nokia 5610 and the N81 8GB.
More details and specs after the jump…

We’ve just wrapped up the day for the Singapore leg of Nokia: Go Play! A lot of announcements were made and too many new mobile units to check out.
Will try to cover everything I’ve got so far.
Now, this is really interesting. The Manila Standard Today announces that the infamous columnist Malu Fernandez is back in their roster or writers. This, after an earlier report that she submitted her resignation letter to two publications — MST and People Asia.
In a recent copy of the Manila Standard Today, a section displays a picture of Malu with the headline — Divalicious will resume next Monday. See picture after the jump.
I never realized express couriers could be so uptight about shipping some harmless USB flash drive. We had to return 3 times with three different packaging types to get the things approved for shipping. And they charge as much as the drive itself. Anyway, here’s the last USB drive I’ll be giving away. Ever.
All you gotta do is guess what’s the capacity.
There’s a plot to release the iPhone unlocking software into the wild, wild web. A prize of $100,000 is in the offing. Several individuals and companies have actually solved the AT&T unlocking dilemma but threats of lawsuits prevent them to move forward.
Reports say that unlocking the iPhone invites DMCA complaints from AT&T and Apple. As usual, Apple will fiercely try to lock this down to protect their contract with AT&T. But what if they can’t?
It’s all about the money…
Taiwanese computer manufacturer Acer Inc. announced yesterday that it’s acquiring US-based Gateway Computers.
Once the acquisition is complete, it will put Acer as the no. 3 PC-maker worldwide.
A reader emailed today about the recent Globe rebranding and points me to their recent DSL package upgrades. Obviously, we’ve all noticed that every time the other ISP upgrades their offerings, the other responds with the same.
That’s healthy competition that benefits the consumers.
This just in — Yahoo! Mail beta is now offering free text messaging to mobile phones. According to DownloadSquad, this service is only available for US, Canada, India and the Philippines. You’ll need to switch to the new Yahoo! Mail in order to send messages to phones in those four countries mentioned. Your contact should also have a valid mobile phone in their profile. Yahoo! Messenger is also integrated in the new Outlook-like interface.
The press release for this has been out since late June so this news is not new. I’m just way behind it. According to announcements, apparel manufacturer Levi’s Strauss is coming out with a branded mobile phone.
And the the name? Just Levi’s. The Levi’s mobile phone sits just beside that expensive and completely touch-screen Prada phone at the fashion-brand-comes-to-tech lounge. So what’s inside the hood?
I’ve been struggling with several crashed servers early this evening from what could have been a massive amount of traffic coming in from search engines looking for the 2007 PRC Nursing Exams Results.

About 2 weeks ago, Nokia quietly launched a new Windows Live rich client application on several N-Series Nokia devices. The initial line-up included series 60 devices such as the Nokia N73, N80i, N95, N76 and the N93i.
After several weeks mulling over the CSS reboot of this blog, and after considering several of the earlier comments and suggestions, I’ve finally decided to roll out a minor tweak to the theme.
Some of the more obvious changes are the background (I wanted to be a little artsy this time), the logo and some font sizes and colors. Hope the improvements are appreciated by the reading public.
