Holy cow it’s out! Wait, how come the name is different? Well technically it’s not. Part of our efforts to make the magazine more recognizable is to expand the name of m|PH to its full name which is Mobile Philippines. When we came out three years ago, a bunch of folks thought we were a car magazine, for obvious reasons. Three years later, we’re still that same mag on tech you can take with you - but this time more visible, wittier, and we’ve become the preferred read for the geek community. Thank you for three years of support and we sincerely hope that you’ll accompany us on our geeky journey for several more.

On the cover is the elegant Cheska Garcia holding a Blue A737G laptop.

This issue is special for us editors. We take a look back at the 25 colorful covers of Mobile Philippines and also have full spread feature on the people behind the biggest tech magazine in the country - the past and present editors and editorial assistants.

This issue is also packed with gadget lovin! We’ve included new long term test feature articles where we take very popular devices and put them through the test of time’s wear and tear. This issue, we did the Nokia N-Gage QD and the Palm LifeDrive. We also have full length reviews of the new MacBook Pro, the eccentric Nokia 7380, the iPod Hi-Fi component, the swiveling Nokia 3250, the Dell Inspiron E1505, and many more!

We’ve also beefed up our “How To” section with many new interesting things such as how to back up your phone contacts using Plaxo, how to make your own LAN cables, and how to maximize MS Outlook.

We also have a special feature on popular geek goddess Kendra Castillo, a feature on the latest Mocha Blends BF Paranaque hotspot and a geek customs check: where we grab Howard Paw’s bag and see what’s inside on a regular day.

Also in this issue - Mobile Man meets his new NEMESIS! (egad!)
