Today I return the goodies lent me, namely, the Motorola e680i and it’s sidekick, the Bluetooth headphones HT820, the Panasonic EB-VS3, the fabulous Motorola ROKR E1.
The subsequent write ups (can’t really call them reviews in the strictest sense as I wrote with a ‘lifestyle’ bent), are here for the ROKR E1, and here for the e680i and the ht820.
Yep that comely lass (with no name though, first time the cover didn’t mention a name), represents m|ph.com’s Ms. December, I mean, the cover for the month, quite comfortable dressed, imho, in appropriate attire (another first) for our nippy December weather.
Something went right today. Well, mostly at least. My article re the 2gb. iPod nano came out, (http://news.inq7.net/lifestyle/index.php?index=1&story_id=57430), and it came out exactly the way I wanted it too.
Me and Digital Exchange finally got our collective acts together to have all the gadgets I’m supposed to review over the following weeks delivered in one go. Not an easy task granted time and distance (they’re in Makati and I’m in Antipolo), the reported difficulty in dealing with the stores involved, occasional deadline issues and other nitty gritty details. Again, this is part of a 9 gadget writeup-fest to promote Digital Exchange (Glorietta 3), and so far I’ve finished with the Samsung SGH-e730, the Fujifilm F-810, and the iPod Nano 2gb, which should come out next week.
So anyway, here are they are!
The 2nd of supposedly 9 gadget reviews have come out today, you can check it here: http://news.inq7.net/lifestyle/index.php?index=1&story_id=55946, the first one being the Samsung SGH-E730, here: http://news.inq7.net/lifestyle/index.php?index=1&story_id=54497
Maybe it’s just me. I still think of blogs as nothing more than a blank piece of paper on which one would write his thoughts and to hell what anyone else would think or do about it. At this very moment, that is in fact what I’m doing. I’ve an opinion, I use Microsoft’s Notepad to write it down, after which I’ll log onto my wordpress blog, paste it on there, edit a related pic or two on Photoshop to enhance it, publish, sit back and appreciate what I have done, then go back to work. Blogging is just writing. Plain and simple.
Quick post to note the articles came out, since I still havent gotten round to making my Articles page. See that “Articles” link on top of my blog? Yup, dead link city.
Anyway, here’s the one about the Samsung phone, and here’s the other one about the Digital Exchange at Glorietta 3.
ok so I got the first two gadgets last week, the Samsung SGH-E730 and the Olympus c-4000 Zoom.
Does that mean to say that Bluetooth is completely useless? Of course not. However, I’ve personally not seen an application in popular use that makes use of its capabilities as intended to be, but more to the point, I’ve yet to hear a local conversation amongst friends and other ordinary users that has to do with Bluetooth without involving the nocturnal talents of some starlet, model or hapless student (Which may also serve as an indication of the type of people I hang out with).
