Quest for the ultimate techgadget


I've been wanting to have a hand-held for myself since like forever... but I've never really given it a go...
 
What I really really wanted to have though is a mobile music... recently, more and more people around me have been turning autistic distant within their own world with their mobile music... I want want for myself that's for sure...
 
Now that I've decided to get one... I need to learn more about mobile devices... that is... if I want to be a smart buyer...
 
Ok... number one the list... Portable Music... I know I won't be using it everytime I'm around people... and It's like 80% of my time daily... but hey... when I'm alone, I want to enjoy my solitude... relax and be lost in your own world while standing on a crowded train towards home or home...
 
As soon as I review my options... I noticed that most of the tech gadgets out today have more than one purpose... It's the trend I guess... I mean... why stop with Mobile Music... when you can also have Mobile Internet... eBooks... Camera... Games...
 
So the solution... no more iPod or any rediculously expensive good for Music Only device... and Hello PDAs...
And I've trimmed down my options to these two lovelies:
All I need to do now is to go to the nearest tech shop and try them out myself... The latest Dell Axim using Windows Mobile 5.0... which is good because I already have a few eBooks in my Microsoft Reader at home...
and then I stumbled upon this 3G phenomenon... apparently, It has already boomed across all countries except the Philippines 2 years ago... which explains why tons of the last releases of Nokia boast of Video Conferencing features... and it also gives you the added perk of being able to download music files and streaming videos faster than even our fastest narrowband [which reminds me... i need to follow up on my DSL]... also, you don't need look for WiFi hot spots... you're connected ALL the time.
 
So a re-evaluation was needed... I searched for 3G compatibles devices... and I didn't get a PDA... only Mobile Phones.. apparently, this is designed for Video Conferencing and Music/Video Downloads... so it figures only Mobile Devices cater to this new technology... however, what with the badnwagon of having these techgadgets getting more and more "added features" pda slash radio slash walkietalkie slash celphone slash organizer slash office applications slash camera slash cigarette lighter slash swiss knife slash everything... I won't be surprised if I see pda with 3G in comming days... either that or I get Treos
Now also, I need to review if this 3G thing is available locally... and here is what I found...
SMART Telecoms recently released the 3iG... which they say is the next big thing... good... but problem is, I'm on Globe Telecoms...
 
sigh... Should I wait for the upcoming Palm Treo 700w Instead? or should I content myself with Sony Ericsson W900i  and wait for a Sony Ericsson P990i... I wouldn't want to spend my moolah on something that would be obsolete in a few months...

Excerpt


God is dead. Meet the kids.

When Fat Charlie's dad named something, it stuck. Like calling Fat Charlie "Fat Charlie." Even now, twenty years later, Charlie Nancy can't shake that name, one of the many embarrassing "gifts his father bestowed - before he dropped dead on a karaoke stage and ruined Fat Charlie's life.

Mr. Nancy left Fat Charlie things. Things like the tall good-looking stranger who appears on Charlie's doorstep, who appears to be the brother he never knew. A brother as different from Charlie as night is to day, a brother who's going to show Charlie how to lighten up and have a little fun…just like Dear Old Dad. And all of a sudden, life starts getting very interesting for Fat Charlie.

Because, you see, Charlie's dad wasn't just any dad. He was Anansi, a trickster god, the spider-god. Anansi is the spirit of rebellion -- he is able to overturn the social order, create wealth out of thin air, and baffle the devil.

Exciting, scary, and deeply funny, Anansi Boys is a kaleidoscope journey deep into myth, a wild adventure, and a fierce and unstoppable farce, as Neil Gaiman shows us where gods come from, and how to survive your family.

I got this for a gift just now: -->

And I just got here in the office and bought some apples... but I forgot to bring a knife... soooooooo... there... I didn't want to use it... but i had no choice... after enjoying enjoying the apples with my beloved... I learned that the pommel I used is called "Isis Fertility Knife".

Nike Clima-fit Cap

Abbey and I just finished a healthy meal at a favorite Japanese Restaurant... walking leisurely and talking about buying gifts for friends and officemates... when suddenly, she asked me to go ahead of her back to the office because she needs to buy a a certain gift for a friend... at first I thought it was funny... and immediately felt there was something fishy... well i was correct wahehehehehe...

 

Got the one in all black... these moisture management thingy really works... I mean last month I bought a mesh cap... thinking it would help scalp manage the moisture in my head and still be able to protect me from the sun...

Anyways... this cap is lightweight, flexible [I can imagine having to shove this thingy at the bottom of a back pack, pull it out and still be able to sport it without it loosing its shap], and best of all, you wont feel the heat being trapped at my dome... I just hate it when I have to wear and cap to protect my shinny smooth dome from the sun and then have to wipe my head off of all those sweat and oil trapped up there as soon as I get to a shade...

  

     Water-resistant microfiber polyester is windproof yet extremely breathable. You get freedom of movement and protection from the elements provided in this lightweight, supple fabric that keeps out the rain, wind and snow while allowing excess body heat and perspiration to escape. Clima-FIT turns the weather into merely an excuse, not a factor. 

 

hehehe... this is one of the best gifts I received so far... A must buy for all skinheads who are forced to walk under the sun... I would have given this item 5 Ankhs... but that would make everyone and their uncle rush to Nike Stadium and get themselves a cap... lol...

I just heard our 13th month pay has been credited to our individual bank accounts... I just hope that i don't get too much witholding tax...

 

If witholding tax exceeds the half of your 13th month pay then your withholding tax is the half of your 13th month pay

 

Well... tomorrow I need to start shopping for gifts... ::sigh:: gifts for myself ::evil grin::
