Raffle: Intex-YugaTech Giveaway

The folks from Intex Philippines were very generous to send us a couple of items to give away. It’s supposed to be a graduation giveaway to students but since I was out of the country, it did not make it. We’re still raffling them off anyway.

Sony Xperia S Review

So the Sony and Ericsson affair has finally ended and the mobile tech world is waiting for Sony to reveal its pure blood offspring the way they would for the next pope. What Sony has released from its labs is far from anything that resembles a PlayStation-loving teenager. Carrying a 4.3” HD screen under a piano black glass that is mounted on a poly-carbonate black-matte body, they have sent out a man in an Armani suit. Check out our full review of the Sony Xperia S after the jump.

How many SMS greetings did you get this Christmas?

Huawei E5 “Pocket Mifi” Review

There was a time when mobile Internet was considered a luxury service. It was only limited to corporate executives who needs mobile Internet to access Outlook emails and SharePoint files. Globe’s Visibility and Smart WeRoam were still uber expensive and you’re locked with a contract. Prepaid 3G or even EDGE connection is non-existent.

Why MoBlogging isn’t hot in the Philippines?

This was one of the questions asked during the afternoon session of the 2nd day at the iBlog3 — what’s slowing mobile blogging in the Philippines?

Actually, Globe Telecoms (G-Blogs) and Smart Communications (AMBlog) have already entered into mobile blogging years ago. An old friend who works for Smart’s Marketing department approached me 2 years ago asking how much we would sell PinoyBlog for. I told him it wasn’t for sale. He then asked how much (monthly retainer) do we want for it to be re-branded as a Smart property allowing us to retain editorial control while the mobile company gets access to the content. Nonetheless, Connie and I didn’t push thru with the deal as we feel it doesn’t add much value to the service we’re doing. Obviously, Smart and Globe were already looking forward to the time when moblogging will be a hit in the country. Why it did not, I’d like to share a few thoughts.

Moblabber Philippines launched

Here’s a new local networking service which ties both web interaction and mobile connection – Moblabber.

Basically, the service allows you to interact among peers and people with the same interests via the web or your cellphone. Think YahooGroups or GoogleGroups for the cellphone. The only difference is that you can manage everything on either the website of your mobile phone. The web is free but any outgoing messages you send via your phone will be charged Php2.50. Registration is confirmed/verified via your inputted mobile number. You can call this Twitter on steroids although blog/step integration is still in the drawing board.

The highlights of the service allows you to send a text message to your group via the web or via your cellphone, so you’re only charged for one message. However, those who will receive the messages via their phone will carry the charges (again at Php2.50) instead.

Disclosure: Moblabber PH was developed by the same company (FeedText) (which granted license to Axis Global) that sponsored the last Blog Parteeh and BBN partner Sasha also works for them.
