Nokia N8 was already used in creating a short film starring Dev Patel and now it was used to shoot a cover for a photographic magazine. Very impressive!
We wanted to show that it is not the hardware that makes a good photographer but rather the technical execution of an idea.
Right!.
What’s next?. A movie shot by Nokia N8?. If you want to know more about Nokia N8, just visit Nokia N8 page. If you want to buy one, this thing costs around PHP21,000 – PHP 25,000/
Few days ago, I posted about the PLDT Telpad, a Android Tablet sporting Eclair (2.2) and a 1GHz A8 cortex processor. It also comes with a landline and myDSL and Trish Aguirre commented on how to get a PLDT telpad for 2011. (Thanks Trish!)
It is the world’s first landline + tablet all in one oh and did you know that you can use the tablet to receive and make call?. cool huh.
If you already have a myDSL + Landline at your home you can just add PHP500 to your monthly bill and you can get one of this. You can still get this even you are not a subscriber yet. Just subscribe to PLDT and apply for a reservation for the PLDT Telpad
Trish also said that if you reserve now, you can get the unit on January 2011. If you want to reserve for a unit you can contact sales.pldt@gmail.com with your full name, complete address & contact numbers or you can reserve at www.facebook.com/pldt.telpad . Too bad PLDT is not available in our area.
There are a lot browser nowadays and one of the fastest browser on earth is Opera. And here are some new features of Opera 11. You can download Opera 11 Beta here
1. Tab stacking
Opera pioneered powerful tabs. In Opera 11, tab stacking lets you drag one tab over another to create a group. Now, you can keep dozens of webpages open, organized and under control.
2. A safer address field
Opera’s new address field hides the complexity of long web addresses and gives you better control of your security when browsing. Click on the badge for the website to see information about the site you are visiting. You can even get information about Opera Turbo data savings.
3. Extensions support
You can now browse Opera’sextensions catalog to add new functionality easily and customize Opera just how you want it.
4. Visual mouse gestures
Mouse gestures are another Opera innovation that has been made easier-to-use with the addition of an interface that guides you. This allows new users to discover the speed and power that mouse gestures offer.
5. Better performance
Our developers have been hard at work fine-tuning our browser engine to put Opera even further ahead in a number of benchmarks. In Opera 11, pages load faster and complex applications run more smoothly.
6. Enhanced HTML5 support
Support for new standards and HTML5 technologies means that rich, dynamic web applications and multiplayer games can be supported by Opera 11.
7. Extended auto-update
A new auto-update system ensures that your extensions and Opera Unite apps are always up to date with the latest enhancements.
8. Search predictions from Google
Search suggestions predict queries as you type, making searching quicker and easier. Google search predictions are now built into Opera. When using the search field or searching from the address field with the ‘g’ search keyword, Google search predictions will appear.
9. Plug-ins only on demand
An option has now been added to have plug-ins such as Flash content load only when clicked. This is especially helpful to speed up browsing on computers that have difficulty handling lots of plug-in content.
10. Enhanced email in your browser
A new mail panel gives you control over the order in which your accounts and mail items show up. You can just drag items where you want them. The mail panel can also show your mail panel when you are using it and hide when you leave a mail tab.
11. Faster installation
Even with its many new features, Opera 11 is 30% smaller than Opera 10.60. That means that Opera downloads more quickly and installs in fewer steps. Getting Opera on your computer is easier than ever.
I just saw this a while ago at New Media Philippines, A tablet that runs on android 2.2 and a whooping 1 GHz A8 cortex processor, the processor which is also present on the Samsung Galaxy Tab. PLDT Telpad is a landline + MyDSL service. This thing comes with a special handset and a charger on it
Well the pricing starts at Plan 1849 (1Mbps), Plan 2099 (1.5Mbps), Plan 3095 (2.5Mbps), and Plan 4100 (3.5Mbps) and just add P500 to your monthly PLDT bill if you already have an existing PLDT myDSL plan to get a PLDT Telpad.
Interesting huh?, this may change the landline industry here in our country. Hope that other companies will offer the same too.
There are a lot of games revealed this VGA 2010 and one of them is Prototype 2. Some of the games announced are Mass effect 3, Uncharted 3, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Batman: Arkham City, Resistance 3, Thor, Forza Motorsport, Portal 2, SSX: deadly descendants, Insane and Mortal Kombat

Do I want a Nokia C7 for Christmas?, hell yes!. Oh when they ask questions like this, I remember the day I bought my cellphone that I’m using right now (Sammy’s flagship phone 2 years ago) and I hate that day!. Why?, because I didn’t choose a Symbian phone. Yes, I still prefer a Symbian phone even a lot of people love to hate the Symbian OS.
Why do I find Symbian OS still cool?, well there are a lot of reasons why I like it, anyway the question is why do I deserve to get that phone and not about how cool Symbian is. Well, here are the reasons:
Nokia C7-00 is Sexy
Whenever I look at Nokia C7, I remember Nokia E66, a slider phone which was my dad’s phone 2 years ago, unfortunately he lost it at the LRT station. I love the stainless steel design of Nokia E66 back then. And now, Nokia C7, made up of polished stainless steel and glass plus those curves!. I just love to have this phone!
8 Megapixel + HD video recording at 720p = Awesome
I can’t live without a camera phone because almost everyday at school I use it to shot the notes on the white board, Yes, I am too lazy to copy the notes written on the board and I can fully understand the lesson when I’m not copying the notes. The problems that I’m encountering is when the shot was too grainy, blurred or being out of focus. Fortunately, 8 megapixel full focus camera is present on Nokia C7. No shooting lag, greater depth of field & a lot more. A camera phone that I just need. I love capturing videos too, especially when I’m with my friends. One of my problems with my current phone is that the videos are too grainy at low light and it can only handle 15 fps and it is NOT in HD. Watching those videos on a HDTV in HD will be awesome.
Social Networking is sweet
We are now living on a Social Networking age. The generation where some people need to be connected on Facebook or twitter all the time 24/7 and I am one of those people who is tweeting and checking out Facebook every hour and sometimes every 10 minutes. And Nokia C7 can get me connected all the time because Wi-Fi and HSDPA is both present and with social networking integration on the home screen, I can easily access my SNS.
Apps and games on OVI
OVI store, the place where we can get the latest applications and games for Nokia. One of the things I like on this phone is the availability of hundreds or even thousands of applications for Symbian^3. There are also podcasts (yey!, a podcast!) that can be downloaded on the store too, so I don’t need to watch TV for the latest news (which I always need for school).
Nokia C7 is just the smartphone that I really need. If I won this contest I will immediately give the readers an unboxing video followed by a review since this is a games and gadgets blog.
I just had my birthday last December 8, so it will be great if Nokia can give me this phone as a birthday and Christmas gift LOL.
