iPhone Pic in Manila

via [iLounge]
It’s nothing new but I saw this picture of an iPhone activated in Manila posted on iLounge. A lot more people are sporting iPhones here in Manila.
I for one am still in the deciding process. The iPod Touch will be available here in Manila starting next week. At least that’s what I was told [...]

Office vs. iWork, Which Side Are You On?

I’m not really a heavy Office or iWork user. I hardly do presentations and the only software from any of these two suites I use is Word. However I was spurred by this discussion over at the Philippine Mac Users Group forum. For you Mac users, which software suite do you prefer?
Microsoft Office is the [...]

Hands On With Pixelmator

After blogging about Pixelmator last June, it’s finally available to the general public. A couple of months late but who’s counting? When I found out that Pixelmator was available already, I went to the web site and downloaded a copy of Pixelmator to try out.

Yet Another iPod Touch Interview

1. You’re one of the first people to get your hands on the iPod Touch. Where did you get it? How did you find out it was on stock?
I got it from Best Buy last Sep 15 here in the US.
I never knew that it’s already available not until I saw the demo unit and [...]

iPod Touch User Interview

I recently interviewed one of PhilMUG’s member who was lucky enough to get his hands on the iPod Touch before the Sept. 28th official release. By sheer luck, Byerly (Miguel Villalon) of PhilMUG was in an Apple Store in Hawaii just in time when the first shipments of the iPod Touch came in.

I feel really bad. The latch on my less than 6 month old MacBook Pro looks severely worn out. The paint/coating peeled showing a very ugly looking latch on my otherwise pristine laptop. My question, is Apple’s build quality going to the dogs?
Now why did I say that? In my own personal experience with the [...]

3rd Gen iPod Nano: Not As Bad As It Looks

Features aside and just focusing on aesthetics, the 3rd Gen iPod Nano is not as bad as it looks. My previous post “iPod Nano, Love It or Hate It?” I was inclined to hate the Nano’s looks. It just didn’t look very nice in the photos.
I had chance to see one live yesterday when I [...]

iTouch Links Roundup

A part of me is pissed that some people have gotten their hands on the iPod Touch earlier than Sept 28. A big part of the reason why I’m pissed is that because no one is selling it here yet. So… I can’t get my hands on one. That being said, I’m glad some stores [...]
