Turned Table

It's been a while and the whole world was bombarded with gazillions of gadget news. I remember writing about Symbian and how much I love the OS. But the tides have turned! I am now an Android user and it is superb for someone who hasn't used other mobile OS! And why is that if someone would ask? My Nokia phone (It was a hardware issue) gave me so many reasons to dump their phone and move to the next best selling brand, Samsung (I'll get an HTC next time but Samsung is A-OK). About Symbian, I believed in them and I thought that the OS will mature and will be better than that of Apple or Android or Palm. But heck they had 3 years to innovate and Symbian^3 is all they can pull out of their sleeves! I know I haven't used the dang brand spanking new OS, but I saw their video and it sucks! It looks like the OS I used for eternity!

Maybe it's just the eye candy that I want.

Zune HD Announced

A lot of my colleagues haven't heard of the Zune brand. Zune is Microsoft's answer to Apple's iPod. Zune, like the iPod, is a portable multimedia player which Microsoft does not release on this part of the world (only in US and Canada). I was lucky to get a Zune 8 first generation in Dubai and I use it more than my iPod 30GB.


The real point of this post is to show you guys the newest Zune which I bet won't show up in the Philippine market but is still worth a drool. The Zune HD! There it is above. So pretty! So iPodtouchee with the edge.

Zune HD specs:

HD Radio - the Zune will have an integrated HD Radio receiver.

HD Video Out - it will support 720p HD movies via the AV Dock (dock sold separately).

Touchscreen - the Zune HD has multi-touch navigation, a 3.3-inch screen and 16:9 OLED display (480×272 pixel resolution) screen.

Microsoft just launched the official Zune HD microsite.

Leaked: Finally A New PSP! PSP Go!

Sony's new portable media player leaked (intentionally?) in the Internet before the rumored E3 announcement. A slider device which resembles Sony Mylo (Picture below). It's the new PSP Go!


According to a reliable source, PSP Go is 43 percent lighter than the PSP-3000, has 16GB internet memory and bluetooth. Now kids can really hang it on their neck with its size and weight unlike the PSP Slim which I always see dangling like a pendant on everyones neck!

Here are other info:

• 3.8-inch display (resolution is undisclosed)
  
• 43 percent lighter than the PSP-3000
• 16GB of Flash storage
• Bluetooth built-in; supports handset tethering and BT headsets
  
• No UMD drive
• Memory Stick Micro slot
• New Gran Turismo, Little Big Planet and new Metal Gear Solid (!) on the way
• Full PlayStation Network support (movie and TV rentals / purchases)
• Integration with PlayStation 3 (works the same as the PSP-3000 does)
• Sony views each of its products as "10-year lifecycle products," so the PSP "needs to live on."
