The Amazon Kindle Tablet

The Amazon Kindle Tablet

So another tablet will be on the market soon but this time, it is from Amazon. They’re the one who introduced to us the Kindle E-reader. Now, they have created another tablet base on Google’s Android.

According to Gizmodo, here’s the information about the Amazon Kindle Tablet:

Hardware• Full color 7-inch touchscreen.
• Unlike the iPad, it will probably only support two finger multi-touch, not ten fingers.
• It apparently has one single-core processor.
• Maybe only 6GB of storage—possibly more cloud oriented
• No physical buttons on the front
• No camera
• Rubberized back, like the BlackBerry PlayBook.
Software• It’s built on a forked version of Android (apparently older than 2.2), but there are no visible Google apps of any kind—you’ll be able to get Android apps through Amazon’sappstore• It has Apple Cover Flow-ish user interface, with all the content—books, movies and music—showing in a carousel. The UI is “very responsive,” unlike the Nook Color.
• In portrait mode, it has a dock where users can add their favorites. It hides in landscape mode.
• The book reader app is much like the iOS and Android Kindle app.
• The music app connects to Amazon Cloud.
• Logically, the Amazon Kindle will provide a storefront for the whole of Amazon (I imagine this looks a lot like the Amazon Window Shopping application on the iPad).

Samsung Galaxy Note Specs, Reviews and Price in the Philippines

Samsung just made another interesting product, this time it’s a Smartphone + Tablet + Notebook. Yes, a notebook, they just brought the stylus back to the touch screen industry. It’s kinda interesting because most companies already decided to dump stylus. With the 5.3″ screen, I think Samsung Galaxy Note is planning to take on the Dell Streak 5 which has a 5″ screen with smartphone capabilities.

Beyond the box launch at Resorts World Manila

Remember Beyond the box?, yeah, I won an iPod Shuffle a month ago from them. I was so excited last week, when I was invited on that event but unfortunately, I wasn’t able to attend because I need to go back to the province.

Janeena Change & Elbert Cuenca
The event was hosted by Janeena Chan and Elbert Cuenca, the Chairman of Philmug. Some celebrities were in the event too like Kelly Misa, Sanya Smith, Ornusa Cadness & Tessa Prieto-Valdez. 
Sanya Smith and Ornusa Cadness
So if you’re looking for an Apple reseller, you might want to check out Beyond the Box at Resorts World Manila. The store is big and they have demos of Macs, iPods, iPad 2 and iPhone 4. They also have a lot of accessories like headphones and speakers inside. Oh and don’t forget to follow their twitter account and like their facebook page

ChatOn: Messaging service by Samsung

UPDATED: Messaging apps are so popular nowadays. Some messaging apps that you might know are BBM, iMessage, Kik and many more. And today, I just saw another messaging app from Samsung called ChatOn. IMO, its features are so cool.

There are a lot of features that you can find in ChatOn. You can do a 1:1 chat or even a group chat. You can also share your multimedia files, even location and calendar. Trunk is an another feature that lets you see all images and videos that was sent in the chatroom. You can comment on the image/video in trunk or even share it. And my 2 favorite features of ChatOn are Animation Message service and Interaction rank. Just watch the video below to see its features

ChatOn will be available on different platforms such as Samsung feature phones, Bada & Android. It will be available on Smartphones, Tablets and laptops after the showcase at IFA 2011 in September 1. Nice Move Samsung!. Now, If ChatOn will be available in the Philippines, I hope that carriers can offer some good rates for this like the BB services

Update:  ChatOn will also be available on different devices like iOS, BB OS and PC. You can check out their site at http://www.chaton.com/

Case logic VNA214 Laptop Bag Review

I’ve been looking for a new laptop bag last week at SM Makati. And I’ve came across to case logic bags at the department store. I notice it immediately because of the 10% discount and the bag is specifically made for 13.3″ Macbook Pro and 10-14.1 inch laptops. The bag looks good, it is made of nylon and just the perfect size for my laptop.


It has an attachable shoulder strap with pad so it really feels comfortable when I carry it on my shoulder. The pockets of the bag was separated by soft pads that’s why you’ll feel safe when your laptop is inside the bag. The bag is so slim too, some people won’t even notice that you have a laptop inside. There are also some pockets that you can put your external hard drive, cameras and more. If you have a mobile broadband, you might like the USB Drive Pocket.

The USB pocket

I put my External Hard disk in there

Case Logic’s Logo in the Nylon Fabric 
All of this fits on my bag
If you always have a lot of gadgets in your bag (especially when you’re a techie guy) you might like this bag. This laptop bag will only cost you P1800.00. A great deal =)
