HTC Evo 3D Review

The HTC Evo 3D separates itself from the rest of the smartphone pack by including two 5MP rear cameras to produce stereoscopic 3D images and videos. Like the high-end LED TVs we’ve seen lately, the 3D rendering is either regarded as a gimmick or the next big thing in entertainment. Check out our full review of the HTC Evo 3D after the jump.

Mede8er MED500X2 Media Player Review

We’ve had a good month or two using the media player from Mede8er, the MED500X2. It handily replaced all my other media players at home (Apple TV, HDX 1000 and Popcorn Hour) and not really missing them a lot as the MED500X2 basically does almost 99% of the job.

Smart WiFi Chronicles on GMANews.tv

I just found out about this story on the website of GMA News (www.gmanews.tv) which talks about my comsumerist blog, Smart Wifi Chronicles.

There were actually two stories published on the same day (June 13, 2006) which linked to the blog:

- Irate Smart Bro subscribers vent angst in cyberspace

- Smart: Facilities upgrade causing internet service woes

The first story heavily quoted posts from people submitting complaints on the blog. (I manually review each one and oftentimes edit them before publishing, usually due to text speak)

What surprised me though was that one of the articles quoted a Smart Public Affairs Executive saying:

Sought for comment, Ramon Isberto, head of Smart public affairs, told GMANews.TV that they were unaware of the complaints posted on the internet.

“We will look into it,” said Isberto, concurrently spokesperson of Smart’s parent company, Philippine Long Distance Telephone Co. (PLDT).

That ain’t right. I know they already knew of that blog. Some of them even registered as a user in there. If my memory serves me right, that’s one of the reasons why they launched the Smart Bro Big Bro campaign.

So ok, short term memory loss?
