Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT

When the EOS 300D was released, many complained that it was too slow and not suitable for serious photography (until the firmware hack was created). The digital rebel XT looks like it was designed for the 300D photographers who want a bit more.

Bluetooth iPod

I'm not a big fan of the iPod. Hard drive based players are too delicate compared to flash based ones and I don't need the huge capacity of the iPod to carry my entire music library. However, this article from engadget got my interest: imagine playing tunes from your iPod on your car speakers through bluetooth. Who needs head units these days?

Stainless steel clamshell phone

Another example where form meets function. Phones that look this good usually dont have much under the skin. This one proves to be an exception.

Be careful about what you write in your blog

Mitsubishi Launches Mini DLP PocketProjector

Holy smokes batman! Is that a projector on your palm? Now if they could only make these things affordable, we wont have to spend on buying transparency film for overhead projectors or bring around heavy LCD projectors bigger than our laptops.

Another exploding cellphone story

This should be enough reason for us to stop buying fake batteries, otherwise called "class-A" batteries by our phone tindera friends in greenhills.

Battery free six device universal remote


This is one of those devices that make me say "Why didnt I think of that before?" Just wind it up and you can use it for a week. This device is rated to operate at the nano-ampere range. If we could use the same technology to power low current or rarely used devices like clocks or emergency flashlights, we could minimize the usage of alkaline batteries that pollute the environment.

Epox BT-HS02 headset

Ive decided to buy this headset after reading these reviews and user opinions on other sites. Its really nice according to the reviews: small, simple, has a loud speaker, pretty loud microphone, user replaceable battery (IF you can find one), customizable fit, and most of all, really cheap! Click on these links for the reviews.

HP Ipaq hw6500

Marc from iPAQabilities has posted details on the first Windows Mobile device that has a square screen. Is this the Treo killer we've been waiting for? Personally, I wouldnt shift to windows mobile until they've fixed activesync and made it run on par with Palm Desktop.

T-mobile MDA IV

The first ever clamshell PocketPC phone device has been announced by T-mobile Germany. Wait a minute, isnt the first ever clamshell the Motorola MPX? Here's the news from Brighthand.

Asus Vento 3600 PC Case

I have long looked for a case that matches the aesthetics and function of the Alienware desktop cases. I think we have a we have a winner here. The ASUS Vento 3600 kinda looks like a certain car, dont you think? ;)


Tom's Hardware tests AMD's Socket 754 Sempron 3100+

Tom's Hardware has another reason for you to upgrade to Socket 754. I just might give in to the upgrade itch if Socket 939 takes too long to become mainstream.

The Treo 650 is available in the Philippines for P39,900

Something exciting for palm fans and smartphone owners who want to take mobile computing to the next level. Looks like they're going to make it compete with the HP Ipaq 6300 which is available here for around the same price. Honestly, I'd go with the treo for its sheer simplicity and small size. Tell me what you think. Post a comment! :D

iTECH Bluetooth Virtual Keyboard Review

Remember the nice holographic interface they used to manipulate the computer in "Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within" and "Minority Report?" Well, we aren't quite there yet, but the iTECH VKB is a step in the right direction. Dave's Ipaq has a review of this cool gadget.


It's a videocam! No, it's a cellphone! It's the Pantech PH-L4000V!!

We've seen phones that record video, but this one takes it a step further. It actually looks like a video camera! I doubt if many can afford this when it's released, but those who can will surely have a lot of fun with it.
