SINGAPORE – A top global mobile industry player on Wednesday announced its top end entertainment unlimited handset bundled with more advanced technology and more diverse content.
 
Sony Ericsson formally introduced the “Satio” to members of the press from Asia Pacific during its media launch held at the Red Dot Museum last Wednesday.
 
“The top end entertainment Satio is 12.1 megapixel camera and then 3.5 inch, HD full touch display,” said Hirokazu Ishizuka, Sony Ericsson’s Corporate Vice President and Head of Asia Pacific Region.
 
First introduced as “Idou” in Barcelona , the Satio promises its users ultimate multimedia experience.
 
Ishizuka said that the company is confident with Satio’s success against its competitors in the industry.
 
“I think we are very confident of our own solution–entertainment unlimited. Not only music entertainment experience [but] also imaging, cyber-shot technology and we have a 12.1 megapixels camera. On top of that, you can enjoy your PlayStation games so therefore this product is so powerful and we are very confident [of] this product’s success,” he said during the press conference.
 
Busy people who missed out on their favorite hit movies or television series can watch these anytime and anywhere with the use of their Satio phone.
 
“Currently, we offer blockbuster movies, music videos and games. Basically, we have the option for the consumers to choose from a library to download three free of charge,” Ishizuka said.
 
Peter Ang, Sony Ericsson’s Vice President, Marketing Asia Pacific Region said that the Satio can get access to the internet through WIFI and 3G network.
 
“You can access to the internet very easily just one click and you can get into that,” he said.
 
Ang added that Satio will be made available in the early part of the fourth quarter in the home region.
 
Sony Ericsson Product Planner Maiko Ishida said that experiences and lessons learned from consumers’ feedback from the walkman and cyber-shot phones have been combined into the Satio.
 
“We have gathered all of the entertainment unlimited experiences that we have gained from the past cyber-shot phone. So, face detection, yes it’s there. Smile detector and the panorama, Bestpic, its all there. Everything that we have gained from the previous cyber-shot is in here,” said Ishida.
 
Ishida demonstrated to the press some of the features of the touchscreen phone. She also showed photos she personally took using her 12.1 megapixel Satio.
 
“So we have worked very closely [with Sony] to get the quality of the pictures. We also have this Xenon flash which allows you to take very bright pictures,” she said.
 
The Satio, she said, is based on an open platform, Symbian, allowing its users “great freedom to download zillions of applications”.
 
Satio is also the first Sony Ericsson phone to offer ninth High Definition (nHD) gaming that gives its users the best in mobile High Definition TV.
 
The Satio phone which will be available in three colors—black, silver and Bordeaux –also comes bundled with an expandable 8-gig card to store more movies.
 
The Satio also comes with the popular Asphalt Road and Prince of Persia games available in nHD format; a choice of three movie titles from a selection of more than 50 blockbuster movies; and a pick of three music videos from a library of up to 300.
 
The extensive content library of downloadable games, movies, music videos and latest tracks are exclusive for Asia Pacific consumers only.

Don’t underestimate the power of blogging. It creates unimaginable waves that can probably make or break a brand. Blogging is the new media and bloggers are gaining the advantage to it. Question is, blogging is not yet regulated therefore, you must be wary of what you read. Not all are true except for those blogs that are already known. This is because it’s up to them to maintain their blogs credibility.

Well, an example of a company using bloggers/ blogs as a medium is Dove. Check out what they did here > http://dove.ph/LM/realthoughts~blog/Real_Thoughts.html
(watch their cool shower remixed video while you are there :p )

Blogging is getting noticed more and more. They have tv shows for it, they are featuring bloggers from time to time and now, blogging events are quite famous. If you do not know where to find someone who will organize a blogger’s event for you, why not send chef_tonio@yahoo.com an email? Maybe he can help you.

Blogging rocks!!!

I didn’t buy it because it just has a 1.3megapixel resolution and that would mean that my camera phone takes better photos and videos than that one.

Just a few minutes ago, I saw this Flip HD in engadget. BOY! Did I make the right decision not buying that!

(For the unboxing of the Flip HD, click here)

I’m going to wait for awhile and check out feedbacks of this gadget first before purchasing this

Yes, this is one of the most common questions people ask regarding travelling and SLRs.

To tell you the truth, the answer differs because it all depends on what you would like to shoot. For instance, if you are shooting landscapes and sceneries, of course, the best choice would be the 10:20 lens.

If you are going to take pictures of people, I suggest you take the 24:70 f2.8 lens. This is an all-around lens and is recommended for shooting just about anything while travelling.

Since I have no budget for those drybox with dehumidifiers, I opted to make my own drybox!

1) I bought a HPL500 locknlock airtight container for 549.75 pesos (roughly 11.31 US dollars)

2) I am going to buy Silica Gel later.

Silica gel can adsorb about 40 percent of its weight in moisture and can take the relative humidity in a closed container down to about 40 percent. Once saturated, you can drive the moisture off and reuse silica gel by heating it above 300 degrees F (150 C).

Voila!!! My own drybox with wheels! :p

SMART subscribers in the Philippines can send a photo or video via MMS to family members abroad by keying in the country code + area code + mobile number.  International MMS costs P20 per message for prepaid subscribers and P15 for postpaid subscribers.

The recipient abroad immediately receives an SMS notification that allows him to retrieve the MMS via mobile phone or an Internet-connected PC or laptop. The SMS notification contains the sender’s mobile number, a URL where the MMS is embedded as well as the MMS’ ID number.

To retrieve the MMS via mobile phone, the recipient abroad can click on the provided URL directly, where he keys in the ID number.
