Did some black friday shopping and went into a Verizon store to check out the new Blackberry Storm. Played with it for a good 10mins, I must said, it’s a very sleek machine. The built is fantastic and the screen is beautiful. The OS is a bit slow at time, actually, the OS is quite slow, when you hit the “phone” button, it takes a good 5 sec before the keypad shows up. It seems that you have to wait abit for every app to start whenever you hit a key. The auto-correct is not that fast either. The new screen button is interesting tho, I don’t really mind it, it sort of makes it more realistic when you press a ”key”. Overall, not a bad phone, until they improve the speed of the OS i would’nt put money on it yet. I can see great potential but I think we need to wait abit longer before the phone fully matures. Here’s a great review from Engadget.
Now that almost every PC manufacturer have released a netbook, the competition have gone to have better innovations. Here comes Asus who was the first to market the Netbook from the Eee Pc series. They have released a “high end” Netbook call the S101. I must say it looks beautiful, very sexy indeed, kinda pricey, starting from $699, but still very affordable. If you can’t afford an Macbook Air, this will definitely be a great alternative. Check out the review here.
CNet’s got a video review of the upcoming Black Berry Storm. One special feature is that the whole screen is a button, you have to press down to register a click. The usual features are there but there is no wifi!!! Oh well, you can’t win ‘em all.
If you’re a gmail user, you would have noticed a new tab call “Themes”. Now you can change the look and feel of your gmail UI. I love it!! I’m using Ninja at the moment.
In just 2 months, a software programmer made $250k from a game he developed for the iphone. The game is Trism and plays like a puzzle game but makes use of the accelerometer. Sigh.. I wish I could programme, well, I wish I could do alot more other things too. Check out the story here.
