Nokia Photo Mosaic and Nokia Philippines Facebook

By

-

January 24, 2011

I just saw a while ago on Facebook the Nokia Philippines Facebook page which I think was newly created. As of this posting they have 1400+ likes on their page. They’re also launching a new phone on their Facebook page and they’re giving it to 3 lucky people.

You can have a chance to win that phone by just simply joining the Photo mosaic contest at http://apps.facebook.com/nokiaphotomosaic/ . Just register your contact details and be sure to read the full mechanics first.

I’m still figuring out the phone that they will launch on their facebook page. How about you? what phone do you think they’ll release?

Hey Nokia Philippines, how about a twitter account?

Many people ask this question, “Where can we find the cheapest iPad in the Philippines?”. iPad & the upcoming iPad 2 or some people say, “the giant iPod touch” is listed as number one on my Gadget Wishlist. Because of this magical device, a lot of companies was inspired to make one too. Some of those tablets fail, some of them are too cool and some of those tablets mixed up with a landline. But most people still prefer the Apple iPad because.

#1 It uses iOS which offers a lot of apps and games on the appstore.

#2 It is made Apple, Bragging rights baby!

Now the question is, where can you find the cheapest iPad in the Philippines. There are a lot of stores selling cheap iPads but I still prefer Kimstore. I bought my iPod touch there a few months ago. Aside from Apple products they’re selling Game Consoles, Cameras & a lotta more.

In Apple Online Store the Apple iPad starts at P23,990.00. Apple Resellers sells iPad at the same price too. I don’t know if Charlie from PhilMUG sells iPad but if you want a discounted Mac, just send a private message to Charlie and you can get a little discount from him.

Kimstore sells Apple iPad at these prices:

Apple iPad (WIFI ONLY)
16GB P22,300
32GB P26,300
64GB P31,000

Apple iPad 3G with WIFI
16GB P29,000
32GB P32,600
64GB P37,200

ePad Android Tablet hands-on review

By

Jam Ancheta

January 9, 2011

I’ve got a chance to play with another gadget again. This time it is the Android tablet ePad, a 10″ inch Android Tablet and a iPad knock-off. As you can see from the design this one is truly inspired by Apple iPad but this one has many different features.

BODY & HARDWARE
When you hold this one you can feel that the body is made up of pure plastic. The back of the ePad is not aluminum but a plastic too. But because of this it made the Android cheaper and affordable for all. But because of the resistive touch screen the device lacks multi-touch. The iPad is way better than this because of its capacitive screen.

SOFTWARE
This device is using Android 2.1 a.k.a. Eclair and I don’t think that there will be upgrade to Froyo or Android 2.2 anytime soon. The device has it’s own marketplace called slideme. Some of the games and applications are free while the others cost $0.99 and up. This thing is too slow and if you are an impatient guy, I think you will throw this thing because it is too slow.

One of the problems that I’ve encountered is that some of the games and applications that I’ve downloaded is too small. and you can see it on the video that the game only uses a small part of the screen and the applications crashes most of the time. Some of them are stretched and there are only few apps and games that uses the native resolution

CONNECTIVITY
This thing has Wi-Fi, USB Port and a LAN port. So if you can’t find any access points, this one is useful :D. Too bad, 3G is not present in this device.

CONCLUSION
The Android ePad is just a waste of money. This thing is so slow, The resistive screen is a crappy one and it is just a iPad KIRFed.

Rating: 3/10
