Electric Car to hit the US, oh how about the Phils?

Reah — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 04:08:16 +0000

I wonder when will the Philippines be blessed with electric cars like this one from Think Global.

Called the Think City, this electric car is rumored to be sold for $25,000 in the US later this year. It runs on rechargeable sodium batteries and can run up to 65 mph.

Cloudbook Everex Now Available in the Philippines

Reah — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 02:03:46 +0000

Got this from John Te of ADVANCE MICROSYSTEMS CORPORATION . I got too excited that I had to feature this right away. I’ve been meaning to buy an Asus EEE PC 900 but the 4GB hard drive is just too small. I know about the Cloudbook Everex way before but I wasn’t sure how much it’ll be sold here in the Philippines.

But now, AMC is offering the Cloudbook Everex for only P19,999! Beat that Asus! With the Everex’s 30GB hard drive, I am certain that more people will favor this over the EEE PC.

Here are the specs:
1.2GHz, VIA C7®-M Processor ULV, 512MB DDR2 533MHz, SDRAM, 30GB Hard Disk Drive, 7″ WVGA TFT Display (800 x 480), VIA UniChrome Pro IGP Graphics, VIA High-Definition Audio, 802.11b/g, (1) 10/100 Ethernet Port, (1) DVI-I Port, (2) USB 2.0 Ports, (1) 4-in1 Media Card Reader, (1) .3MP Webcam, (1) Headphone/Line-Out Port, (1) Microphone/Line-In Port, (1) Set of Stereo Speaker, (1) Touchpad, (1) 4-Cell Lithium-Ion Battery (more…)

A Therapy(Bag) is all you need!

Reah — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 02:24:18 +0000

I’ve lost count of how many laptop bags I own because I keep buying almost every month. For this month, I bought 3. Well, it’s more like I buy bags big enough to carry my MacBook. The latest being is the Camiguin Carry-all bag from Therapy, a local retail online bag shop owned by Rochelle Montenegro.

Rochelle designs her own bags and distributes them to some of the big local brands in the Philippines. She later ventured on to selling her own line, thus, the birth of Therapy Bags. Right now, bags are sold over at Multiply and at Peppered Cherry at Serendra,Global City, which by the way, I visited some 2 days ago.

The Camiguin Carry-all bag is big enough to carry all my stuff including my MacBook, obviously. Haha! It’s just good to carry a laptop and all other stuff because it’s spacious inside. I think this will be the last bag I’d buy for the rest of the year. That is, if Therapy stops releasing more fab bags. After all, I already bought two. But I highly doubt since Therapy makes shopping more therapeutic for me.

Here are some more pics: (more…)

Metrolla Strolla: Baby stroller gets stylish

Reah — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 03:23:24 +0000

Lately, I’ve been thinking of my own baby. No, I don’t have one yet but I want to have one or two someday. Maybe in 2 years time. I mean, I just got married more than two months ago so no hurries.

But I promised myself I will be as stylish as ever, and techie too, when I become a mom. I’ll just ditch the baby pink and baby blue cutesy stuff and use bold colors like orange, red, or green for my baby. And yeah, black too!

Or maybe I’ll get a Metrolla Strolla. It’ll turn heads I know because it looks more like a push cart. Why, there are no bins, pouch, or storage mommies need to put their gear into. But still, I find it stylish. No bins or whatsoever, I’ll just get a really nice and big black diaper bag to go with this one. Makes me wanna sing…’Metrolla Strolla…olla..olla..strolla….”

Heart-shaped Mouse: Feel the Love

Reah — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 17:52:46 +0000

I’m getting bored with my black generic mouse. I couldn’t get a Bluetooth mouse for my MacBook because it’s just expensive and is way over my budget. I guess I’d settle for the red heart-shaped click mouse instead.

Heart mouse is available for only $12(less than P500). Now that is cheap. I might as well get my BFF the same mouse and give it to her next Valentine. Hehe…

Sarkar MP3 Playet: Yet another pink and blinged gadget

Reah — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 17:45:45 +0000

Sooo many pink gadgets are coming out. Not just lately, but I think since gadget accessories have started to go mainstream. Now this one here is pink and blinged at that! Some girls would definitely fall in love with this baby even it also features 512 MB of storage.

No specs and features yet were reported but rumor has it it won’t play songs downloaded from iTunes. Aww..sucks…

Opera brings Google search to your pocket

Reah — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 05:14:41 +0000

Opera Web Browser recently made Google its default search engine. For seven years now, Google has been the first choice of most Opera Mini users. And with the fast-rising success of this mobile browser, what better way than to make the collaboration official.

Opera and Google believe that mobile web will go mainstream soon so as early as now, it would be good if users are treated to the convenience and quality of search results, of course, from Google using the Opera Mini browser.

To date, more than 100 million users agree that Opera Mini is much easier to use. Viewing Google the same was as on your desktop but while mobile is perhaps a good modern experience. Now, I wonder where this collaboration will lead mobile web next…

Krell and MartinLogan ElectroKID iPod Dock: Impressive Sound Quality

Reah — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 05:11:30 +0000

So many iPod docks are coming out so the iPod users will never run out of choices. But looks like the Krell and MatinLogan ElectroKID can beat other iPod docks out in the market.

With the expensive Krell iPod dock, iPod-fanatics can experience superb sound listening experience for years. The Krell Kid features preamp circuitry of excellent quality and partnered with speakers with electrostatic panels from MartinLogan for a more exceptional clarity and pace.

The iPod dock and speakers can be bought separately but for those who have extra $7,500 (£3,740) to spare, a complete system might be the missing piece to your home entertainment addiction. So hey, does the price tag make you want to get one?
