ONE of my favorite shops is Cd-r King, mainly because it’s interesting to check out which cheap and cool gadgets will be available there next.
“Designer” tech brands are all well and good, but you have to admit there’s also a thrill in finding a bargain — cheap gadgets like the P80 card reader I got from Cd-r King. I’m actually mulling getting one of those MP4 players (not really sure why, though, ‘coz I can always watch movies on my phone) and DV cameras. If someone’s tried them out, maybe you could give feedback on these products.
In a world that’s increasingly becoming homogenized and dominated by malls (I call it the Ayala-fication of the Philippines, personally, heh), it’s actually comforting to go to places like smaller computer stores or Raon. Hey, no matter how seedy it was, I miss the old Virra Mall — in fact, the seediness was part of its cyberpunkish charm, now lost in the antiseptic V-Mall (though of course pirated stuff is still for sale there; why did they bother displacing the old tenants at all?).

have heard of the Chinese company that modifies almost every phone? Funny though, because I’ve heard that almost every one of them fones are on touchscreen. ^^,
even the N80 has it (well, it became N8x of course). Yun nga lang may mga orig features that were not copied.
