The Dell Inspiron Mini 9! Is this the Perfect NetBook? Well, I can say this is the Perfect NetBook! And according to CNET's video review on "Finding the Perfect NetBook" this has most of the specs you should have for a NetBook like:

• Intel Atom 1.6GHz Processor
• 16GB SSD Hard Drive
• Windows XP Home Edition SP2 or Ubutu Linux OS
• 8.9 inches Screen Size
• Built-in Webcam VGA-Out
  
• Stereo Speakers
• Headphone/Microphone Jacks
• 3 USB 2.0
• SD card reader
• Ethernet, 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi, optional Bluetooth!
• Great Spacious KeyBoard!
  
• Good Battery Life!
  
• Priced Around $350.00 to $500.00

As like most of NetBooks, this one has no Optical Drive, but you can always get one to connect to your NetBook via USB.

Dell as far as I know is very flexible or configurable in terms of choosing parts or software to put on your PC, that's how I know Dell is. You can choose wether to get an XP or Linux, add a built-in Bluetooth/Webcam or not, the size of the Hard Drive, and some more, and all this will vary on how the price of the product will be. And because of this, Dell or you, can choose which ones to combine to create a personalized PC and for this instance "The Perfect Netbook"!

Color comes in Black, and also comes in White and Red.

Here it is! Nokia 5800 Xpress Music, Nokia's Touch Screen Phone, is this their iPhone killer? Well, first of all I really like Nokia, I've been using Nokia phones then up to now!

Here are videos of the Nokia 5800 Xpress Music:












There are lots of iPhone like competitors out or will soon come out in the market, like the G1 Google Android phone from HTC for T-mobile, Samsung Omnia SGH-i900 (I know this is UNLOCKED too), and more.

Here's Videos of Samsung Omnia SGH-i900:

Ok, I have made a post about choosing between two Great Digital Cameras. The Canon PowerShot A590 which is rated as the Best Budget Digital Camera for Consumers, small but a bit bulky for me; and the New Sony CyberShot T700 which is a Great Touch Screen Camera with sleek design. I'm looking for a Great Digital Camera with a fair price!


You can get great quality photos and videos plus great features from the Canon PowerShot A590 with a very good price of not more than $2oo.oo! but the downside for me, well not really a downside but, I was looking for a more sleek design.

I've been recently doing some searches on what kind new and great digital camera to get, there are tons to choose from! Like Canon PowerShot, Sony CyberShot, Nikon Coolpix, Kodak Easyshare, and more.

I was thinking of what kind of preferences to choose from. Of'course what I want is the one's that take great image quality, and I found out that its not actually by how much megapixel is better but by how it captures image quality. And there's also the size, whether I should get a slim and sleeker look or the not so compact size but great image quality. There's also the features, whether it has additional functions like cropping,red-eye removal, face detection, smile capture, touch screen, usb and av cable, shutter speed, manual and automatic focus, optical stabilization, video capture, memory capacity and more.

And lastly the price, I have two videos to show on whether I should get a Canon PowerShot A590, mid-sized but rated as the best overall digital camera with lots of feature and great image quality by consumersearch.com and noted by CNET as the best budget camera under $200 price; or the newer Sony CyberShot DSC-T700 which has great image quality and has integrated memory of 4GB, ultra-compact,and noted by CNET that it will satisfy those who like showing off their pictures as much as they like taking them and priced under $400.

What do you think?

CNET at the launch of T-Mobile G1 Android Phone.



T-Mobile press conference, here are what some experts think:

The long-awaited HTC Dream, the first commercial handset running Google's Android operating system, will be coming to T-Mobile as the G1 for $179 on October 22nd. Featuring a 3-inch touchscreen, internet navigation buttons and a full QWERTY keypad, the smartphone market has finally broken free of Symbian, Windows Mobile and the sweet clutches of fruit companies. Read on for the details, and you can decide whether or not the competition is a good thing.

Features:

Android Market
Similar to the iPhone's mobile App Store, the Android Market will allow downloading of various Android apps from the phone, to the phone.

Amazon MP3 Store
Amazon's MP3 store will be preloaded on every G1, allowing the download of 6 million DRM-free tracks with singles starting at 89 cents. Downloading music requires a Wi-Fi connection, previewing can be done over T-Mobile's network.

YouTube

Here's also an Animated Demo of the phone:

There has been recent searches for the "Google Android Phone - HTC The Dream" and news of its release was this September, but recently changed to 10th of this November, that's why I'm posting this update. And because they've been saying it's the iPhone competitor. I don't mean to say anything bad about this new software, but the iPhone is really a High-End Phone where competitors I think are still struggling to compete with. They say the iPhone Technology is lightyears away from other competitors. Let's wait and see what the Google Android has to offer.

No complete announcement, reviews or news of this product has been really made on the news or on the web. But I have these two recent videos form CNET and G4 that shows interviews from Google Company about the Google Android Phone.

It's really not a phone actually, its kinda like an operating system for a phone like Windows Mobile or Symbian. And its not just one phone, its many phones. Which will be released on T-mobile service and will run on phones like Samsung, Motorola, HTC and LG.

It's more like a Google Software for mobile phones. Google is reaching out in almost every way possible. Like their popular Google Search, Google Docs, Google Maps/Earth and will soon release the Google Android Software. They even own YouTube, the popular online video website, for those who didn't know, they also own Blogger (which I love by the way!), and FeedBurner (they own? or teamed-up with? whichever, but I love this one too!) and I think Mozilla. Wow!

It's like they're everywhere, watching you, knows what your doing, and I mean to say it in a funny way ;). Like the videos I watched on Cnet TV with Molly Wood an Executive Editor there, where I think she says Google is everywhere or owns everything. I find her fun to watch on her videos about her opinions on everything from Google to Ipods to anything. I'll probably make a post about her, her videos and her fun opinions on different products.

Watch the videos to find out more.

Cnet covered an episode about how to download YouTube videos on your PC using "Kiss YouTube". Its great but you download a flash version of the YouTube video which YouTube uses Flash for videos, and you have to convert it yourself. You can do this by simply adding the word kiss on the web address of the YouTube video your watching, and you will be directed to Kiss YouTube Site to download the flash video.

An example is:
http://www.youtube.com/watch=thisisasample to http://www.kissyoutube.com/watch=thisisasample

But now they have a new way to download videos thats already converted to MP4 format plus its in High-Definition! Nice!

The steps to download are:
First copy the web address or URL of the YouTube video your watching
Go to http://file2hd.com
Paste the web address on URL box
Select "Movies" on Filter
Check the box on the Agree to terms and conditions
Click "Get File"
Download the MP4 Youtube video link (Right-click on the MP4 link, and select Save Link As)

Its that easy! and Its Free! This is really awesome. Thanks as always to CNET!

We all know Max Payne! Right? Well as far as avid gamers are concerned, we do. Like all recent movies, that are based on comic books made to movies and the like, this one is based on a Video Game. A great third-person shooting video game might I add. With a great matured content story and all his cool moves like the "Bullet Time"! Which slows down time to make Max Payne fire bullets accurately towards enemies and easily dodges enemy bullets, you can even see the bullets flying around, it's like doing a Matrix style move! If you played the game, you know how awesome it is. And to those who have'nt played the game, try it, im positive you'll like it.

Here's a brief recap on the Max Payne Game:

PLOT:

The story begins with Max Payne returning home to find several drug junkies high on a new drug called Valkyr. He also finds that the junkies, who promptly attack him and are quickly dispatched, have killed his wife and newborn daughter. After his wife's funeral, he transfers to the DEA.

Three years later, he is investigating the Punchinello Mafia family, who is responsible for the trafficking of Valkyr. B.B. Hensley, a fellow colleague in the DEA, gives Max a message asking him to meet Alex Balder, another DEA agent and a good friend of Max's, in the subway. When Max arrives at the subway, Alex is shot by an unknown assassin. As a result, the police consider Max the prime suspect in Alex’s death. Additionally, the Punchinello family finds out that he is a cop and wants him dead.

Max seeks Jack Lupino, who oversees Valkyr distribution for the Punchinello family. After killing him, he meets Mona Sax, who laces his drink with Valkyr and leaves him to be found by the Mafia, who proceed to interrogate him.

Max escapes the Mafia and gains access to a shipment of guns belonging to the Russian mob. Max uses these weapons to infiltrate the house of Don Punchinello, the head of the Mafia. Max discovers that the Don is only a puppet in the Valkyr market when the Don is killed by agents of Nicole Horne, CEO of Aesir Corp., in front of Max. Horne herself then injects Max with an overdose of Valkyr and leaves him for dead.

When he awakens, he pursues his only lead, the phrase “Cold Steel”, heard just before he passed out. It leads him to a foundry with an old military bunker under it. He discovers that Valkyr was the result of a military project to improve its soldiers’ stamina; the project was halted shortly after it began. He also discovers that his wife accidentally found out about the project while working at the District Attorney’s office, so Nicole Horne let Valkyr junkies loose in Max's house.

After leaving the bunker, Max gets a call from B.B., who asks Max to meet with him at a garage lot. There, Max realizes that B.B. was the one that shot Alex, framing Max for his murder. A brief gun fight ensues in which B.B. is killed. Max then gets a phone call from a man named Alfred Woden, asking him to come to the Asgard building. Alfred is part of a secret society called the "Inner Circle". Woden informs Max about who Nicole Horne is and says the Inner Circle cannot pursue Horne because "their hands are tied." They ask Max to kill Nicole Horne in exchange for ensuring that any criminal charges against him are dropped. After the meeting, the room is stormed by Horne's agents. They kill every person in the room except for Max, who manages to escape, and Woden, who pretends to be shot.

Max enters the Aesir Corp. main office, where Horne is located. As he makes his way past security guards and mercenaries, he runs into Mona Sax again. She is shot by mercenaries after refusing to shoot Max. Max confronts Nicole and states that this whole thing started after Max's wife found out about the Valkyr project. Horne runs to the roof of the building, boarding a helicopter. Racing up to the roof, Max shoots the guy wires of the building's antenna; the Antenna snaps off the roof and comes crashing down on the helicopter.

The NYPD arrive at the scene, arresting Max. As Max is being led out of the building by the SWAT team, he sees Alfred Woden. Knowing that Woden will ensure his safe passage through the judicial system, Max smiles genuinely.

Bullet-time:

The gameplay of Max Payne revolves heavily around bullet-time. When triggered, bullet-time slows down the passage of time to such an extent that the movements of bullets can be seen by the naked eye — it is a form of slow motion. The player, although his movement is also slowed, is still able to aim and react in real time, providing a unique advantage over enemies. This makes avoiding being shot easier and enables Max to perform special moves, such as shootdodges where Max leaps sideways through the air while continuing to fire his weapon.

Occasionally, when the last character of a group is killed, the viewpoint switches to a third-person view of his falling body with the camera circling around it.

And Here's a trailer of the upcoming movie:

The Cast:

Mark Wahlberg as Max Payne, a cop haunted by the murder of his family and who disregards rules to investigate their deaths. Wahlberg described his role, "It's probably one of the edgier roles I've played but also the most layered. Here's a very happy guy who worked a dismal job, had a beautiful family. But the beauty in his life was taken away. He just goes on a rampage. It's all driven by emotion."

Beau Bridges as B.B. Hensley, a former cop and Max Payne's mentor.

Mila Kunis as Mona Sax, an assassin who seeks revenge for the murder of her sister.

Ludacris as Jim Bravura, an internal affairs agent.

Chris O'Donnell as Jason Colvin, an executive and Nicole Horne's "right-hand man".

Nelly Furtado as Christa Balder, wife of Alex Balder.

Kate Burton as Nicole Horne, CEO of Aesir corporation.

Donal Logue as Alex Balder, Max Payne's partner and best friend.

Amaury Nolasco as Jack Lupino, a mafia boss who becomes insane due to the drug Valkyr.

Well in my opinion based on the movie trailer, I guess it looks pretty good, I usually like movies made from comic books or video games to look and feel just like the comic book or video game as it is. Like Transformers Movie , from which I know that the makers of the movie based it mostly on the original series and asked fans on how they would like to see it the big screen, they probably responded to see the movie like how they see it on the original series.

The only thing that makes me wonder about the Max Payne Movie is that what's up the the flying things, picking up people? I dont remember seeing those creatures from the game. I think some of the reviews i've seen says that those creatures are from Max Payne's Dream Sequence. Well there are Dream Sequence's from the Max Payne Video Game, I guess that makes it ok. Like other movies made from comic books or video games, there are some little additions and some little differences made for movies, but still addresses what the viewers would like to see.

All in all, we'll just have to wait until the movie comes out and hope wee see what viewers and fans would like to see. I sure hope they have a lot of "Bullet Time" action moves on the movie too!

There has been a number of UMPC - Ultra Portable Personal Computers and Mini-Notebooks/Netbooks that has been made and more upcoming new and better ones since the launch of the popular "Asus Eee PC". I have read and watched reviews of some of these products courtesy of CNET. And almost every video review on these other UMPC's and Mini-notebooks are compared to the Eee PC. So Asus Eee PC is still probably the best one out there. Mainly because of its low price and also of its good performance for basic functions of using a portable computer.


Here are some of the UMPC's and Mini-Notebooks i've looked at, there are a lot of new ones but I only focused on the ones that grabbed my attention from their design, functions and performance. I'll put some of my brief comments about these products.

Fujitsu LifeBook U810 - According to CNET, this device is the best Ultramobile PC keyboard but I guess not good enough because it has some important missing keys like the Tab Button which is double-mapped on the Spacebar. Meaning the Spacebar is where you also use the Tab Button, and also other keys that are double-mapped. It also has a swivel screen for watching and easy viewing and its touch screen capable. But for me as I saw the video review, it looks too small for me. And it's priced around $859.00 - $999.99, pricey.

The first three ones were great UMPC's but they're way too expensive. These next ones I'll show are also great Portable Computer Mini-Notebooks/Netbooks but much less expensive and also has good performance.

Mini-Notebooks/Netbooks

Everex CloudBook - I didn't find much review on CNET about this product But there was specifications on Everex CloudBook. Which are the basic but important ones; built-in webcam, WiFi, Ethernet, card reader, 1 GB RAM, large 60 GB Hard Drive, and priced for $424.99 - $449.99.

HP 2133 Mini-Note PC - This product from Hewlett Packard has a solid consruction uses magnesium alloy shell and has a stylish design. And one of the best part about it is it has an almost full sized keyboard unlike other mini-notebook. The downside on the review says it has a weak performance and umipressive battery life, and misses out on new Intel Atom CPU which are now used for newer mini-notebooks. The video review says its priced around $499.00 for xp version and $599.00 for linux version.

Asus Eee PC - There are newer and better versions of Asus Eee PC.

Asus Eee PC 4G - This is the first version, it has a 7.0 inches screen, 512MB RAM, 4G Hard Drive, Built-in webcam, 3 USB 2.0 and SD card reader, Ethernet, and WiFi. The Downside is it has no DVD drive, cramped keyboard, very little Hard Drive space, and low screen resolution. But offers an impressive package for portable web browsing and basic productivity. Small, light, fast and efficient and priced for less than $400.00. "It's a near perfect choice for a highly portable second or backup laptop."

Asus Eee PC 1000 - The latest version for Eee PC. It has no clear review yet on CNET. Same basic functions and improved 1 GB RAM, 80 GB Hard Drive, and Intel Atom. Still inexpensive, around $560.

All in all my first choice is still the one I like, which is the Asus Eee PC which has improved performance in newer version and still reasonably priced. Has all the basic functions that I need for a portable mini-notebook.

I like mobile phones, we all do right? I bet each and everyone has their own cellphone by now, especially on this generation of technology, electronics, the web and all kinds of communications. Some people not only have one, but two phones. Like me, I use one for calling and texting, and I have another phone mainly for receiving text messages from the Philippines using a "Roaming" sim card and a Quad Band phone. It can also be used for texting, but I use my first phone for that. I bet most Filipinos in the United States and other countries abroad does that too. I also use the web for texting, you can access a website that offers free texting like the service Chikka based in the Philippines.


Back to the main topic. A Great Phone. There has been a lot of added features on some new phones out on the market, and more features to come I bet on High-end phones or Smartphones. A Great Phone would basically have the following Specs:

Wi-fi capabilities
Large Internal Memory
Expandable Memory (using Memory Cards)
High Megapixel Camera, for Photos and Videos (about 5 Megapixel is good enough)
Flash for Camera
Large Screen Display
Symbian OS or Windows Mobile Operating System
TV Out
TV capable (local TV reception is good enough)
3.5 mm stereo headphone plug (I think this is the general size for all headphone jacks)
Stereo Speker
Radio
Bluetooth
USB capable
Pre-Installed Maps
Web Browsing
Email & IM
Touch Screen (a big plus)
Qwerty keyboard (also a plus, should be spacious)


Well, I guess that's most of it. That's not too much is it? of'course not. Most of these features are already on some new phones that are in the market today. But probably not all in one phone.

The closest one I've wanted was the Nokia N82. Its almost the same as the Nokia N95 but in a bar shape. It has most of the specs I've wrote, I wanted to get that phone, but the downside is i think it has no WiFi! And a WiFi is a must! So I though to myself, I'll just have to wait for a phone like that with WiFi and probably more.

Nokia N82

I recently liked the Blackberry phone, specifically the Blackrberry Curve 8300. Mainly Because of its QWERTY designed keyboard. I never did like a qwerty phone, but its like every time you see and hear about it its like you begin to like it, i dunno. I always see it on television and on the news, like its really popular mostly used by business men or lawyers as they say, but also used by almost everybody. And I like to have one now because I would like to use it for easy typing, like on making a draft about blogs or make notes, and it now has WiFi capabilities.

Blackberry Curve 8300

But I usually like Nokia phones because they are very User Friendly. I think that's their slogan. I've been using Nokia phones from my first ever mobile phone, and I loved their phones since then.

Then there was the iPhone! The most popular high-technology phone that was ever made, so far. But I don't think nothing will surpass this phone, i mean based on its style on using it. It's like a futuristic phone, well it is. Plus its basically a smartphone where you can add and install other types of applications, programs, games and a lot more.

Apple iPhone

But I have some things that I don't like on th iPhone. I'll put it in bullets so everyone can see, especially makers of new phones:

No Flash for Camera and No Video
No Text Forwarding
No Bluetooth sharing for files like photos
On-screen keyboard much better on landscape
Headphone plug does not fit most headphones jack
And most of all its LOCKED for one carrier only!

(Update: there are new available Apps for iPhone like Video Capture and Copy-Paste for forwarding and/or texting, and probably more to come.)

And Now The Breaking News! There has been a report of a new phone called "The Dream" powered by Google's Android Software on HTC phone. Which reports that it will match many capabilities of the iPhone and all other phones, and perform computer like functions.

"The high-end phone is expected to match many of the
capabilities of Apple’s iPhone and other so-called smartphones that run software from Palm, Research in Motion, Microsoft and Nokia
to access the Internet and perform computerlike functions."

"The HTC phone, which many gadget sites are calling the “dream,” will have a touch screen, like the iPhone. But the screen also slides out to expose a full five-row keyboard. A video of the phone has been posted recently on YouTube. A person who has seen the HTC device said it matched the one in the video."

By: The New York Times

Here the video of HTC's "The Dream" powered by Googles Android Software on YouTube.

Well, is this the phone i've been waiting for? "The Dream", a great Phone? I hope so, and I hope it has everything I wanted in a phone, and I'll definite get one. But I know there will always be new and better phones that will be made, but this will probably be the closest one about "A Great Phone" (I think, because there are new upcoming phones based on the iPhone Technology).

I've been searching and surfing the web for years, and there has been a recent increase of famous sites. Some of these sites you probably already know from social networking sites, video sharing sites, famous search sites, helpful research sites, and some are my personal picks from free download sites, like free programs for your pc, ipod, psp, and mobile phones to free games, free movies, and everything that is free!

Like they say "The best things in life are free". And all of these you can access on the web for free. Feel free to comment about my picks and some of your own picks.


Social Networking Sites:

Friendster
MySpace
MyYearbook
Facebook
Multiply
Hi5
Tagged
Blogger

even blogsites like Blogger is a social networking site. You can communicate via comments and search for other blogs.

These sites have revolutionized the way people use the web, and the world wide web has never been more popular especially in these technology based era. I just have something to say about having an account for these sites, i mean dont get me wrong, these are great and popular sites, but shouldn't you just choose one? or make an account on other sites too? You have to make new friends and old friends again on other accounts right, and probably not all of your friends have another account online, probably just one.

Well personally i have a Friendster account, I guess most of my friends and people i know have one on friendster. I also read that Friendster is the biggest social networking site for Asia. And thats probably true especially in the Philippines, as far I as I know. And the biggest competitors are MySpace and Facebook, mainly more popular in the US. But I have friends who also have accounts on MySpace and other sites. I tried making some accounts on these other sites, but I think i wont be able to keep managing my account if i keep signing up if another new site comes along. I guess in my opinion its better to stick to one social networking site than create a new one again and again when another new social networking site opens up. But then again, it entirely up to you, right?

And I would like to say one thing about MyYearbook, what is this? Is this a Hybrid of MySpace and Facebook?? Probably is.


Online Video Sites:

YouTube
Google Video
Yahoo Video
Imeem
Metacafe
Gmanews.tv
Justin.tv
Hulu
Watch-Movies.net
Tailedfox
and a lot more..

These sites has also revolutionized people see information and share their videos. The most popular one is of'course YouTube. YouTube has even been featured most of the time on the news from their online videos and viral videos. And of'course everyone probably uses YouTube.

Some video online sites i've posted is where you can watch not only online video but also free channels, tv series, sitcoms, even free full-length movies like in Hulu and Watch-Movies.net. And Gmanews.tv is where i watch news on whats happening in the Philippines. And Tailedfox is where you can watch the Anime Hit Naruto Episodes. All of these for free!


Helpful Tool Sites:

There are a lot of sites you can download free programs, but this is where i get most of my programs and helpful tools for pc and the web. This sites offers most stuff from electronics, laptops, pc's, mobile phone, cameras, camcorders, mp3/mp4 players, and of'course free programs.

Programs that i've used and tested are the following:

AVG antivirus
YouTube to iPod converter
Cleanup - Protect your Internet privacy, clean up garbage data, and improve PC performance
Startup Inspector for Windows - Manage start-up applications and improve your system performance
DTMC2 Screensaver - Means "Dont Touch My Computer". Set an amusing trap for people who try to use your PC. Which is great when you leave your pc for awhile and you dont want anybody using it, because it is guarded by a dog

Cursor/Desktop of the Future - Make your desktop look futuristic and interactive. http://dissoluteproductions.com/downloads.htm

I also liked the google photo collage screensaver, but you usually get it on their google pack where you choose to download programs like google earth (which is a pretty awesome program of a satelite map anywhere on the world for free), Norton Security Scan, Firefox, Skype, Spyware Doctor, RealPlayer, and Google Photos Screensaver on http://pack.google.com/pack_installer.html

But if you want just the Google Photos Screensaver you can get it on this link http://pack.google.com/pack_installer.html


PSP (Playstation Portable) Sites:

Psp-hacks
Pspiso


Online Game sites:

Gametap
AdultSwim
Miniclip
Armorgames
Newgrounds

These are great game sites online. On Gametap you have to download their program to play their games, but its worth it, because they feature premium and popular games like some games you can play on a console.


Flash Sites:

Newgrounds
Liquidgeneration
BrokenSaints

These are awesome flash sites ill tell you. You can watch tons of flash or animation videos, and there are also flash games on Newgrounds. Liquidgeneration feautures some flash for pranks you can show and send your friends. And BrokenSaints is an award winning flash site that shows their episodes of BrokenSaints Series.

Well these are most of the sites i've visited and tried so far, if not all of it. Hope this post helps you when browsing the web. And you can comment, post and let me know sites you recommend worth seeing!

And I will continue browsing and searching the web for more!
