Awhile back I had the chance to play with the new Nokia 5800, complete with access to the Nokia Music Store, and here are my thoughts (note this review is restricted to phone, music store and internet functionality as I did not have a working sim card):
Speakers
One of the first things I tested was the [...]

I got an email from Marc of Text 100 awhile back:
URL shortening services are great, especially for microbloggers. However they provide fraudsters with a golden opportunity to exploit the service for phishing and spamming. For example we now witness get-rich-quick schemes simply banking on the perceived legitimacy of the shortening service.

Singapore rose from 11th [...]

I was listening to the awesome podcast Marketing Over Coffee, and there’s a great tip in there for keeping track of who’s doing what with your email address. Or at least your Gmail address.
It turns out, Gmail addresses can be “customised” by adding a + (that’s a plus sign) immediately after your username, and adding [...]

Rewind back to the IT Show last month (where I bought my kick ass new desktop), I also got the Western Digital HDTV Media Player, which I have been enjoying immensely ever since.
What does it do? Very simple. You connect it to a TV via a HDMI (or RGB) cable, insert in a USB thumbdrive [...]

Windows Media Player does a good job of playing music, but not storing it as a library. Mediamonkey does the library function well, but doesn’t have enough worthwhile features [...]

These were a gift from the fiancee two years ago, and as much as I took care of them, they finally died a natural death after serving me well on many, many travels. Annoyingly, they chose to die when I was on a 3hr train ride from Toronto to Kingston, so I couldn’t watch as [...]

Yesterday was the HP TouchSmart PC Blogger’s Nite at Brotzeit and I have to say I had a blast. Hands down it was the best blogger event I’ve attended (yes, even over my own Social Media Breakfast: Singapore). And I’m not saying that because I organised it, but there was just something about a killer [...]

Remember what happened to my Ipod screen? Well, the feedback came in and an Ipod Touch it is.
Thanks to Wanida, I got it from Apple and saved some money and I’ve been playing around with it for today and here’s what I really like:

The screen – Wow. 3.5 inches makes a huge difference over 2.5 [...]
