GEE, is there no escaping spam?
Take a look at this text spam I received while surfing using PLDT WeRoam. Click on the thumbnail.
I guess it’s just to be expected since mobile phone spam is unfortunately still a big problem.
Anyone else experiencing this on PLDT WeRoam or Globe Visibility?
A FEW days ago, I blogged about the iPhone launch in the US and included an Agence France-Presse photo of Jonathan (not John, as he was identified in the AFP caption) Mariano, who was first in line at the Apple Store at The Grove shopping center in Los Angeles, California.
In that blog entry, I wondered aloud if Mariano was a Filipino, and guess what? He is! He posted a comment on that blog entry simply saying, “Pinoy ako (I am a Filipino)!” and included a link to his blog that documents the iPhone launch in LA and his unexpected brush with fame when he turned out to be the first in line.
How cool is that?
SO, think the Apple iPhone will eventually be supported by Smart, Globe or Sun in the Philippines?
I’m not going to lie — the iPhone looks incredibly sexy and I’m drooling with technolust.
How about you, do you have an iPhone already? How are you loving it so far? And to those who are here in the Philippines, would you buy one once it makes its way here?
Of course, based on past experience, our resident geniuses in Greenhills and other shops in the Philippines will probably unlock the iPhone so that it can be used on our carriers’ networks, but it would be great if it would be officially supported and if we would be able to access all the features. Like launching the iTunes store here already, Apple.
ASK people what’s the one gadget they can’t live without, and chances are the answer will be the mobile phone. That’s what I would answer too.
What I’m interested to know, however, is what applications you like using on your mobile phone. We obviously use our cell phones for more than just making calls. In fact, in an age when mobile phones are also cameras, videocams, GPS devices, TV sets, computers, and what have you, it’s almost an afterthought to say, “Oh, by the way, you can also use it to make phone calls.”
How do you use your mobile phone for non-voice applications? Do you regularly check your e-mail using your cell phone, say, using the Gmail mobile app?
WHITE BEACH, Puerto Galera–We’re still at sea, actually, on our way to this resort.
I’m with most of the INQUIRER.net editorial team. But though we’re out of town, that doesn’t mean we’ve stopped bringing you the news.
Using their BlackBerries, the reporters here are filing breaking news stories, while the editors on this boat are working on these articles.
And yup, I’m blogging this using my N90 mobile phone via Smart 3G.
And we’re still on the boat, heh.
Long live the mobile office!
