ZunePhone Coming?

Since the release of Zune HD, everyonce is shouting for a ZunePhone, a statement from Mr. Bach of Microsoft makes many believe that the only roadmap where the ZuneHD is going is to GSM. In response to a question about how Zune fits into Microsoft's mobile strategy, Bach had this to say:

"Now, your other question was about I'm getting old. Zune, so Zune has been critically successful. And the way Zune is going to be successful for us in the future is you should think of that as our media service across multiple screens. We'll continue to have the Zune device screen. But, we now have Zune on Xbox. We have Zune on the PC. There are other places where Zune logically could go that we don't get to talk about yet. And I think lots of different screens with that capability can go."

The question now is whether Zune will come to Windows Mobile or live as its own brand remains to be seen.

Samsung Corby S3653 Review

The latest trend nowadays for mobile phones is having a Touch Screen LCD without having the help of a stylus. I can say that Apple iPhone started it all then boom, the rest is history and major mobile companies now are following that trend. Samsung is being aggressive and focus on bringing in affordable phones that features touch screen. Who would thought that Samsung Star is already cheap, now they released the most affordable touch screen, the Corby S3653 (price starts at Php 7,000).

The S3653 looks hip and fresh just like its target market, the teenagers. This phone is also for those who are in tight budget but still wants to be in. Perhaps one of the Selling Point of this phone is the interchangeable back cover. It even comes with two extra back cover to make it even more personalized.

What's in the box?

Package includes, the Corby S3653, battery, charger, 2 extra colorful covers and a in-ear earphones with mic adapter. What is missing: Memory Card and Data Cable.

The User Interface

Corby offers three different homescreen that you can alternate by selecting the small dots on the bottom of the screen. What I like most of these Samsung Touch Screens are those widgets, which you can fill every homescreen.The Main Menu Displays 3 by 4 grid icons, the design is somehow similar to iPhone.

Another unique features of Samsung Phones is the feature Smart Unlock, allowing to make a call, open a menu item and application by drawing a letter on the unlock screen. This phone also supports multitasking. This also has a social networking integration (facebook, twitter and myspace) so now you can chat and add friends with a click away using you mobile phone. Radio and Mp3 players can be used as widget, its like a compact media player on you desktop.

Corby 3653 is equipped with a 2 mega-pixel camera with smile detector. Badly is doesn't have an autofocus. Video recording is QVGA @ 15fps. Connectivity lacks 3g and wifi, but with bluetooth A2DP support.This phone can support up to 8GB of micro SD card according to the box but haven't tried it.

In the end you'll get what you paid for, a Php 7,000 touch screen with all the basic features of a mobile phone without something unique. Overall this is a great buy with a 2mp camera, touch screen, mp3 and neat interface. This is recommended for those who are youngster who always wants to be connected in social networks at the same time who wants simple, affordable and trendy phone.

Products, Services and Techonology That Defined a Decade

Thanks to this technology our life will never be the same again..

Google - What is internet without google? The most accurate search engine in the world IMO. We can also call this thing a brain hehe.

Apple iPhone - This gadget transformed on how we look at cellphones. Apple's iPhone already sold more than 30 million world wide.

Apple iPod - This redefine music players and MP3. Completely replace the good ol walkman days.

Facebook - Second largest visited website today. Cool games and applications plus additional privacy that Friendster is lacking. Over 350 million users today and still counting.

WiFi - Let's go unwired! Nowadays most of the mall here in the Philippines, coffee shops, and even McDonalds offers free WiFi access that puts the Information right in the palm of you hand almost everywhere (with WiFi enabled gadgets of course).

Broadband Internet Access - Remember dial-up days? When you have to wait for 12 midnight before you can have a unlimited internet connection which can go as fast as 56kbps? Cool! Hehe. Those days where gone. An Always-on broadband connectivity made the internet essential.

Windows XP - Still holds the 62% market share. For me the greatest Operating System that has ever made. A big step from Windows 98 and Windows 2000, even the latest Operating System from Microsoft offers a XP mode application and Apple also added a BootCamp application to run this OS with their Macs. Does it make an impact or what?

Apple iMac - An insanely great all in one computer. The marriage of Computer and Monitor in one box. Now tell me who of us don't want to own this Box?
