Yes, I switched back to the darkside again a few weeks ago. No, I haven’t give up on my Macs but playing WoW on Powerbook for the last few months, the conclusion is: Sorry, it just didnt cut it. So alas, time to went shopping for a notebook with enough juice. Sad to say, none […]

Thanks to a friend1 who gave me a Razer Viper last year, my wife is so used to the 1000dpi high precision mouse that she cannot stand any normal optical mouse anymore. So when I was shopping for a new mouse two weeks ago, she warned me ‘nothing less then 800dpi’. Now, when your wife […]

Nokia comes out with a Internet Tablet Nokia 770. This is not a surprise to me but … erm, let me ask: “what’s so special about this?” Other then a better resolution, it is inferior in everyway compared to a Sharp Zaurus C3000. I know it is cool Nokia, a mobile handset maker going into […]

Siemen is working on a phone which can project the screen and a keyboard onto the table (see left pic) (via BoingBoing). This sound very much like an extension of the Virtual Keyboard (see right pic). Unfortunately, the Virtual Keyboard does not work so well, at least for me. But good to see they trying […]

*Drool* (via Joi) I want one! I haven’t seen one from Nokia which makes me drool so much after 8850. I just met a director from Nokia last week and complained to him about the lack of nice phones from Nokia lately. ‘Just hang on’, he said. I am glad I waited.

Via Yam i519也是OKWAP第一支無天線設計折疊機，主螢幕為26萬色、三頻通訊、重量105公克，130萬畫素照相功能、數位及光學變焦、180度翻轉上蓋拍照、手寫輸入觸控螢幕、免學習聲控、來電簡訊過濾、JAVA遊戲、FM收音機、MP3音樂、MPEG4影片播放、擴充RS MMC記憶卡、1000組電話簿等多種功能，顏色有黑、銀色兩種選擇，建議售價1萬2900元。 Lets see..260k color, triband, weight 105grams, 1.3megapix camera, twirl-able screen, stylus-input, message filtering, java games, fm radio, plays mp3 music and mpeg4 video and cost ..hmm..US$500. (Yes yes, it still remember it is a phone!) 另外，OKWAP昨天也發表一支直立式H105「寶貝機」，鑑於今年初其他業者推出玩具熊造型，只有4個按鍵不夠便利，結果市場反應欠佳的經驗，OKWAP這支「寶貝機」保留了一般手機原有的功能及按鍵，再加上SOS簡訊快撥、通話時間限制、貼心學習、國語字典、英漢字典等功能，單機建議售價5880元。 Okay, another one which comes with (Traditional) Chinese-English dictionary at US$200. Hats off to Taiwanese […]

My new toy – Zaurus C3000 which comes with a 4Gb hitachi harddisk on the right. The C3000 is slightly thicker then my C760 (on the right) and a bit heavier but otherwise, almost the same. The keyboard feel is also much better. I love this series of Sharp Zaurus which unfortunately only sold in […]
