Size does matter.
This is so true in the world of gadgets and technology as more and more device are becoming smaller while managing to incorporate more features despite its dwindling size, and it seems that Toshiba wants to make a statement by announcing the availability of the first 32 GB SDHC card due January next year, and 16 GB SDHC card set for October of this year. Of course, to use these sweet babies your device has to support SDHC cards. But don’t worry, most of the latest digital cameras are already SDHC compatible. If those weren’t enough to blow your mind, then maybe their 8 GB microSDHC card will. Yup, you heard me. An astounding 8 GB in that all-so-tiny package of a microSDHC card will be released in October of this year. Now, this is probably where you might encounter some problems since, to my knowledge, most gadgets that makes use of microSD cards are usually mobile phones. I haven’t heard of any mobile phone supporting SDHC cards yet. But, hey, I bet it won’t take long before they do.

Looking similar to its Prada phone ancestor but a bit softer with its rounded edges, the LG U990 maintains the touchscreen-dominant face but ups the ante by packing in a whopping 5-megapixel camera with image stabilizer, Schneider Kreuznach optics and video frame rates of up to 120 fps. It also includes 3.5G connectivity and 170 MB internal storage. 
Large LCD monitors are a dime a dozen these days - or make that maybe P10k each. A far cry from the old days when they cost an arm and a leg - this editor can attest to that: I once bought a 17" Apple LCD six years ago for almost P60K. Dumb, yes, but true. Today they are cheaper than ever. And more advanced than we think.
Would you believe an LCD monitor that connects to your computer via USB?
Yeah, really. No video cable, dude. Just USB.
Check out the Samsung SyncMaster 940UX 19-inch LCD Monitor. It's got all the usual bells and whistles, and the usual connections to your computer (analog and digital), plus the USB thing, which is a first. This'll be great for laptops with no video out and other similarly challenged machines.

Unfortunately, among the three models, this is perhaps the weakest model. Nevertheless, it’s still an impressive upgrade from its ancestors. Sporting a much thinner and elegant profile, it packs in a fast 500 MHz processor, a large 2-inch multifunctional external touch screen, Bluetooth, EDGE, 2-Megapixel camera and runs on a Linux OS. Due to the improved processor, it should be more responsive and faster, and the external multipurpose touch screen is an innovation that I bet others will soon follow. Specification wise, it seems like a decent upgrade, that is, if you still own the early batch of RAZR phones.
This model lacks the now common 3G connectivity and secondary camera which recent RAZR models such as the RAZR Maxx come equipped with. It’s priced a little short of P 20,000.00 and for that price; I feel a little ripped off due to the lack of modern features. I’d rather wait for the 3G-enabled V9 instead.
It's all over.

While the Wiimote is most notably associated with the popular gaming console Wii, it is not known to many that it does have other uses aside from being a gaming paraphernalia. For instance, you can use it as a portable remote control for your presentations, provided, of course, that your laptop has Bluetooth communication. How is this possible? With the help of some ingenious software like

I think this marks the first time underwear is prominently featured in the Mobile blog - legitimately, mind you.
A company called Cramer Japan has created peek-proof underwear for women. In recent years night-vision features on today's cameras have been modified to be able to see through dresses and clothes to get a peek at underwear, and is a popular mobile geek-perv pasttime in the land of used-underwear-vending machines. This is done using special filters and lenses that attach to video and digital still cameras that work in conjunction with the infra-red light that modern cameras emit to enable people to see in the dark - or in this case, see through clothes.
While the resulting pictures are dark and unclear and not titillating at all, some folk still find a cheap thrill in achieving this dubious trick. In Japan, women are constantly on guard against sexual harrassment of this sort, especially in crowded trains or lonely city streets.
Cramer Japan has developed ShotGuard Inner Shorts, beige-colored panties made of a special polyurethane-nylon material impervious to perverts. The cameras are unable to penetrate the clothes and distinguish between outer and inner wear.
Cramer Japan is now working on a similar brassiere to protect the upper regions of the fairer sex.

The Smart Money PayPass card be purchased at MetroPass booths at selected MRT stations and can electronically be reloaded via Smart Money. Specific turnstiles are equipped with card readers where you can use the PayPass card for easy entry. What makes this card unique is that it will integrate all Smart Money services such as money remittances into the card as well. Metro Pass booths will not only serve as sales stations for the card, but also as encashment centers for those who wish to avail of the Smart Money services. Talk about coming up with a full-featured card! Though it took Smart several months after Globe ventured into this business, as they say, it’s better late than never, and with the PayPass card being more than just an MRT ticket alternative, they sure got their act together in coming up with a great product for the MRT commuter.
Many would agree that itunes is probably the secret behind the success of the iPod, providing a convenient way to transfer and organize songs to the device. However, one of the key features that itunes has is its integration with its online store which, for most of us in this part of the globe, is unavailable. But for many in the US and other parts of the world, it is an easy way to purchase songs online.

China's cloning industry is as entrenched and as widespread as it is ubiquitous, and has reached a scale so vast that entire factories are being cloned down to the last nut and bolt from stolen blueprints so these can reproduce exactly what the original factory was manufacturing, reports 
The screen resolution is 480 x 720, running on a 3.3" 24-bit display. The physical dimensions of the Chinese iPhone is 10.5" x 5.7" x 1.2". The various models cost from US$200 to US$400, a clear case of getting what you pay for. Me, I'll think I'll wait.
If you're anything like some of the geeks at the Mobile offices, you've likely attempted to put together a PC at one point in your life; or at least crack a CPU open and tinker with one.
The biggest thing in there is most probably the motherboard, or as we geeks affectionately call it, the mobo. (It's that big flat green thing with lotsa chips and wires on it.)
A typical ATX mobo is roughly a foot square (12" x 12"), sometimes smaller, depending on the configuration you're after. So far the smallest one has similar specs, although instead of inches, it's in centimeters. The Nano-ITX is 12cm X 12cm. That's tiny - and now, it gets even tinier.
Enter the Pico-ITX, or the PX10000G, and the tale of the tape puts this mobo at 10cm x 7.2cm, or about the size of a 2.5" notebook hard drive. Wowza!
It runs off a 1GHz VIA C7 processor and can fit a single SO-DIMM on the bottom, and its got the usual full range of connectors, 4 USB, 2 PS/2s, ethernet, VGA, DVI, SATA and a right-angled IDE connection. Video is done through a VIA UniChrome Pro II 3D/2D AGP.
People are still figuring out the best way to use this mobo, but rest assured, someone will. We can't wait to see the mobile gadgets built around this one!

Not so long ago, Apple recalled laptop batteries because these were faulty. Not as widely recorded and reported is the potential risk that faulty mobile phone batteries pose to everyday users. Although no clear evidence points at the real culprit, due to the numerous counterfeit goods in the market and no significant number of reports being made, this matter should not be overlooked by both the manufacturers and government agencies involved. However, there are ways avoid becoming a victim:
