We attended the Samsung Smart Camera launch that was held yesterday at the Rockwell Tent. The event was hosted by none other than Ms. Iya Villania with guest appearances from Ashley Rivera (a.k.a Petra Mahalimuyak), Laureen Uy and Sam YG. Each of them has demonstrated some of the featured smart camera’s functionalities by telling it to the audience themselves or by showing a short video clip. The event featured entry level, mid-range and high end cameras that are affordable but are packed with features.

The Sony-Ericsson Xperia Arc S did not deviate much from the original Arc except for the bump in processor speed (and the additional colored variant) so it’s not really a huge improvement, in my opinion. Nevertheless, those extra clock cycles will certainly be of help once your handset needs it. Check out our full review after the jump.

Over a year ago, I blogged about this little power-saving device which promises to lower electricity usage in the household. I thought it would be wise to look at all the data points and review the performance of the device.

After over a week of playing around with the HDX 1000 Media Player, I am convinced that this is a great device to have especially if you’re mostly watching downloadable shows. It has some quirkiness but let me share why I think this media player is worth considering.

This is more like a wish list rather than a prediction for the year 2009 with specific focus on the Philippine tech landscape. Hopefully, we’d be able to see some of the items on the list become a reality before the year ends.

Every Tuesday, I’ll be posting tons of links from people sending in emails and requests. These are the ones that didn’t quite make it to my regular posting schedules but nonetheless deserve some TLC (tender linking care).
- Gail & Connie launches the Pinoy Pet Network.
- FredytheFilipino emailed asking if I could feature his “Taco Bell” video on YouTube. Other Pinoy blogs have featured him but he
thinks says they’re not that popular. Now, now Fredy, that’s no way to treat a fellow blogger giving you links.
- The blog is mightier than the sword, goofing around with plastic swords at the Inquirer.net office last Friday before the interview.
- You want more pictures of the Pinoy Bloggers’ Galera Getaway? Check this one out with Marc doing the yoga by the beach. Gandhi is alive!
- Firm develops multimedia ads for the mobile phone. More text spam? No way!
- Retz emailed me with a picture of him and his 6-figure cheque (ala-Shoemoney huh?). The real surprise was that it did NOT came from Adsense! Yes, there is life without Google Adsense after all.
- Joey Alarilla emails asking for opinion if ABC5 and GMA 7 marauding the Inquirer.net office is unethical by media standards. I know exclusivity and privacy are things MSM value the most, but in the realms of the blogosphere it’s the other way around (i.e., the more bloggers linking to you and covering your story, the better).
- Minic has officially launched The Pinoy.TV, an online video festival for the Filipino.
I will add more later as I’m digging up old emails I haven’t checked nor replied to.
I was looking for games installed in my new N6233 the other day when I bumped into an application called Nokia Wireless Presenter.
I just heard about this so I Googled it. To my surprise, this is one software I have been wishing before and why did I knew about this just now?
Wireless Presenter
Use your Nokia phone as a remote control for your PC with Nokia Wireless Presenter. Using Bluetooth wireless technology, this software allows you to control your Windows desktop applications, such as:
* Slide presentations: Compatible with Microsoft PowerPoint, the Nokia Wireless Presenter lets you browse presentation slide titles.
* Music and DVD player applications in your PC
If your phone is a Nokia, you can download a copy of the software at their site. So, after installing the software and tinkering around with the COM port and I’m all set.
Moving slide from to slide using the phone as a remote control is so easy and you can also navigate the mouse within the desktop as simple scrolling the phone’s navikey up and down.
This feature works if your phone and laptop both have Bluetooth connectivity. I heard somewhere you can install a software into your phone so it functions as a TV remote control.
