Sony NEX-5N replaces NEX-5, adds 16.1 MP sensor, 25,600 max ISO, OLED viewfinder option (video) -- Engadget

i've always wanted to shoot professional looking pictures. I kept on convincing myself that it's just a matter of practice to get those kinds of wonderful photos.

The 1st thing to do is to get a decent camera, so I looked at those entry-level DSLRs...was excited to own one initially but it eventually wore off as it became affordable & lots of people are going into photography (not that I'm saying it's bad), it's just that i don't believe that everyone can become one...oh and they all looked so funky and ehm cheap hahahaha (sorry guys).

Then came the micro four-thirds camera...they's small yet they pack the same picture quality as their DSLR cousins. The one that attracted me was the NEX series from SONY. Well, they're very attractive! The body is tiny and dwarfed even more by the lenses. I handled one a couple of months back and it was gorgeous. Though no viewfinder, but the screen is awesome. I was really going to get it, until.

Until a friend of mine offered me his CANON EOS 550D at a very affordable price, less than a year old and was just used as a back up camera. I'm not the type of person who buys 2nd hand things, but with the price he's offering it, heck I couldn't resist.

Maybe, just maybe on the side note. It was a good thing that I took the camera. Even though I look like a dork, walking around the mall with it around my neck. It forced me to learn the basics of the camera controls and how it affects the shots. Maybe, it's a good start that I begin on a full-sized DSLR and eventually move to these micro four-thirds camera. These are just MAYBE's.

ICONIA SMART

If they will price this at the sub-P20k mark, I will definitely consider getting this as the replacement for my barely-year old LG Optimus One.

I like the looks, the form factor oh and of course, I'm already familiar with the OS.

Although the rumored "affordable" iPhone that is set to be announced this September is also a tempting thought.

ICONIA TAB W500

I'm interested with this. At this price point, it will attract a lot of buyers considering it's running a full windows 7 OS, and productivity apps which most people are used to.

My tablet experience

I've always wanted a tablet, a computer that I can bring around...in the house, while watching TV, something I can use to glance at what ever is new in the internet. A computer that I don't have to wait to boot, something that will give me instant gratification tech-wise. I guess the time that I was waiting for has come.

Though not yet fully satisfied, mainly due to limitations on the present set-up, like I want to use the tablet for my presentations, for my lectures, which I can't at the moment, not because the tablet is incapable if it, but because it's too difficult to connect to projectors thru VGA cable, the current "standards" on the displays.

But I am more satisfied than not with my tablet. Instead of firing up the desktop in the morning to read the news, now I can do it, even when I'm still in bed. As I eat breakfast, I can read the news. I can check emails and respond to it right away (although I can also do this on my BlackBerry phone), and I too can check updates on social networking sights.

With the advent of digital photography, I don't have to ask the people I want to show my pictures with to come with me to the desktop or laptop just to show them the photos, neither will they feel awkward to ask me to slow down in changing pictures because I can hand them the tablet and they can leisurely flip thru the pictures themselves at their own pace.

I say, what ever tablet one is using right now, be it an iPad, an Android tablet (I'm using a Motorola Xoom) or a BlackBerry Playbook, the playing field is changing and it's changing for the good.

Acer Iconia Tab A100 review - Engadget Galleries

i'm excited with all these tablets coming out. Especially the 7-inchers...although I'm not sure now with this 7-inch honeycomb 3.2 version cause I'm used to the 10 inch screen of the Motorola Xoom...with this Iconia A100 price point, i'm guessing it's going to be a seller.

Globe lowers 30-Day SuperSurf for BlackBerry Max to Php599 | GLICH'S LIFE :: Blogging by Glenn Ong

This is very good news! I'm hoping that this won't mess up my billing set-up on their side.

Good choice for Globe since recently acquired by Smart rival SUN Cellular is offering a better package of P999/mo which includes everything (BIS, Call & Text) except for the kitchen sink.

This move will prevent migration of subscribers to other networks. Though Globe should step up services to their loyal subscribers.

Updates for Froyo

Teen girls choosing BlackBerry over iPhone in the UK | CrackBerry.com

this is what I am talking about, that teenagers are increasingly using the BlackBerry...and most probably because of BlackBerry Messenger and the QWERTY keyboard

Increasing use of BlackBerry in the real world

People have been saying that the downfall if RIM is inevitable because of it's performance lately, I beg to disagree.

Locally, BlackBerry users are constantly increasing and it's coming from the unlikely users...students...younglings. While the professional crowd is using the iPhone.

This is the same is the US and UK markets. Probably because of the cheaper plans and the QWERTY keypad. And also because of the exclusivity of BlackBerry Messenger.

Perhaps Nokia's redemption? Though still a bit sluggish (as seen in the video) even if it's using the "modern" Anna Symbian OS. But if priced right...might bring back Nokia into the top post.
