HP 2133 Mini-note PC vs. Nokia N810
I know that both devices are on two different classes. One is a full laptop and another is an internet tablet. Yet both are very similar in one way or another. Both are ultra portable devices with a similar price range (around US$ 400++), both has WiFi, and both [...]


I’ve been back to my old and rusty T68i since I lost my Z710i last april. Finally, after months of struggling with the dying old keypad, I bought myself another phone: Sony Ericsson T250i, my third T series after T39m and T68i (both of them are still alive by the way).
No bells and whistles in [...]


I can’t decide which one is better, the release of Ubuntu 7.10 or the announcement of Nokia’s N810 Internet Tablet (QWERTY FTW!). It’s a good day for Linux (and Gnome!) indeed :)


Remember my old post about the iPhone clone from China? Well the phone’s not out yet but I actually bought a 4 GB model of Meizu’s miniPlayer (mine pictured above). Here are the main reasons why I bought it:

There is a great community.
Good Reviews.
Ogg Vorbis and FLAC playback (which triggers the F/OSS side of me). [...]


Meizu MiniOne (Link in Chinese): an iPhone clone inspired mobile from China! Can’t get any better than that. Here is the spec in short:
Dimensions: 105 (h) x 57 (w) x 11.5 (d) mm
Screen Size: 3.3 inches
Screen Resolution: 720 x 480 - higher than the iPhone!
Input Method: Standard touchscreen
Storage: 2 models at 4GB and 8GB non-removable [...]


Akhirnya beli juga handphone baru: Sony Ericsson Z710i. Mengikuti jejak handphone Sony/Ericsson saya yang sebelumnya: T68i dan T39m. Berikut ini fotonya:

Review Singkat:
Banyak feature menarik dengan harga terjangkau. Bila anda bingung mengapa saya memilih Z710i dan bukan kakaknya W710i, itu murni karena faktor tampang :)
Yang plus:

RSS reader, membuat serasa punya laptop mini. Harus hati-hati juga nih [...]


Before we move the management said that everyone would have a VoIP phone. What I had in mind was a regular looking phone that plugs into an Ethernet line instead of the regular phone line. I was wrong. Instead we were given a handset not unlike a cellphone but wired to the PC via USB. [...]


Beberapa hari sejak Fuji masuk rumah sakit, aku nelpon sama Pak Dokter (baca: teknisi). Katanya pak dokter, Fuji tiap hari bangun normal! Sampe bingung dia mao kasih obat apa, soalnya Fuji sama sekali nggak terlihat sakit. Dokter sempet bilang sih, berdasarkan gejala-gejalanya, kemungkinan ada sakit di tulang punggungnya (baca: motherboard)! Kalau mau ya dicangkok, tapi [...]


Gara gara dia, jadi ikutan ketagihan maen Solitaire nih. Game simple yang bisa dimainkan di hampir semua perangkat. Bisa di Ubuntu, Windows, iPod (repot sekali) bahkan (favorit saya) Handphone. Sekarang jadi sering main Solitaire di HP Sony Ericsson T68i kapan aja dimana aja. Waktu lagi nunggu dokter gigi, waktu di bis, bahkan waktu di kantor.
Anehnya [...]


Terakhir dikabarkan kalau Fuji kena koma. Segera setelah itu Fuji udah dibawa ke rumah sakit untuk diperiksa. Ajaibnya Fuji yang waktu itu udah koma selama tiga hari langsung bangun di depan pak dokter. Apa mungkin karena Fuji takut disuntik yah. Fuji dibawa pulang lagi deh.
Ternyata Fuji bangun nggak lama, malam itu juga dia nggak mao [...]
