Back in the day…

Kids these days have it good – mobile dvd players, notebooks, portable media players, portable game consoles. My son, for instance (who’s only 6) has never seen a VHS or Betamax tape, let alone Laser Discs, vinyl disks, 8-track tapes, casette tapes and whole lot of other classic tech. Here’s one ad that never aired [...]

N97

I once had a Nokia N70 Music Ed. but sold it after several months’ use. Never really though the N series was anything great, but Nokia’s flagship N97 looks to be not only an iPhone-beater, but an Xperia X1-beater as well.

Finds on Ebay.ph

Was trolling through ebay.ph for deals in time for Christmas and found two interesting ones (besides my earlier find with the HP 2133 MiniNote) – a Canon Digital Ixus 860IS for just Php14,000 and a Samsung i780 (with 2GB SD Card) for only Php15,600 (of course, it’s just available in red, so it’s not very [...]
