As if YouTube via your desktop or laptop wasn’t enough, the popular video service is now available on your mobile phone.
Provided you’re using one that’s capable of streaming video and runs on a 3G network, YouTube Mobile can now be accessed even when you’re at work, on the road or plainly put, wherever. What’s good about this one is that, at least for now, it’s free of advertisements and is much closer to the web version. With a comprehensive collection of videos that are often times hilarious with some educational ones available too, it’s hard not to get hooked and addicted with the service.
So if you can’t get enough of Renaldo Lapuz singing his original composition on Americal Idol or Happy Slip, then just type m.youtube.com in the web browser of your mobile phone for some on the go fun. Of course, data charges still do apply so do exercise some restraint when accessing the service through 3G.

Well, FireFox 3 still isn’t out yet, but
They've also released some benchmark results as compared to a Macbook and Macbook Pro. There’s nothing new really to report as we already expected the Air to be less powerful than its pumped-up well-chiseled brute sibling, the Macbook Pro. What’s surprising though is the Mp3 encode test which should have gone the Pro’s way.
Head on over to the
Here’s a treat for Samsung BlackJack owners. If you feel that you’re a bit left out with all the Mobile Windows 6.0 smartphones out in the market, Samsung has finally decided to release an update for your mobile device. The original ROM and instructions on how to update the OS of your BlackJack phone can be found at the following
While admittedly it’s still too early to make predictions, the overwhelming figures are hard not to notice. However, the data shows only sales within a period of one week. Putting things into perspective, comparing sales from a month ago, Blu-ray is nearly 70 percent which is nonetheless pretty still impressive.
So, in essence, if Blu-ray players continue to increase in sales and dominate the market, then it would be profitable for companies to produce content in the Blu-ray format.
Personally, I wish this whole fiasco is done and over with so I can finally buy a media player that will have a standard format for HD content because quite honestly, this whole rift in the HD format wars is actually holding me back from making any purchases for now due to the fact that my chosen format might not be supported in the future anymore. With the way things are going, I'll probably have to wait a couple of months more before I decide and for now, the choice is pretty obvious.
Based on what Unwired has gathered, it's a 5-megapixel camphone with auto-focus and flash. The display is a 16M color QVGA and will come with a built-in GPS sensor. Looking at the images provided, it’s like a redesigned T650i with a ton of imaging features if it is expected to carry on the Cybershot title in its name.
Design-wise, nothing seems to stand out at the moment, but since these are still unconfirmed and more importantly, unofficial, so nothing's for sure until it’s finally released. Heck, we don’t even know what name it will have, but if we were to follow Sony Ericsson’s numbering scheme, possible model names are K870i, K830i or K780i.
For now, let’s just wait and see, and dream up our fantasy specs for this soon-to-be-released unit. Judgment can be rendered later on when everything's for sure and certain already.


Well, now you can with the made-for-PSP version of Skype. This latest iteration of the infamous IM application was unveiled at CES with Sony reps making demo calls to one another (which in reality is just a few feet away). Theoretically possible considering that the PSP is equipped with Wifi for easy connection to the web, the question now lies in how well voice encoding is done since that is now part of the arsenal of features the gaming console has. According to
The senior vice president of VAIO product marketing, Mike Abary, commended Apple for creating an engineering marvel with the Macbook Air, but quickly followed it up with the results of their own research done way back in 2004 which revealed that thinness is not the key in winning the hearts of consumers. Back then, they had the
Unfortunately, their vision back then wasn’t quite apt for the time. Four years ago, people couldn't imagine computers without optical drives. Considering how technology works today, users can do away with the optical drive and live happily ever after with flash drives and Wifi. Apple, of course, provided a solution for those who just can't live without optical media with the

Intel, however, maintains that they are committed in developing inexpensive mobile computers for consumers. Dubbed as the Classmate, their own version of the affordable laptop is being marketed in the same areas where the OLPC is expected to become available.
While this ends the partnership between the two, both companies undeniable have their work cut out for them as Asus has already made headway with their
Getting into the groove of the Olympic fever, Lenovo has formally launched a flash memory 
It aims at providing users with the ability of making easy transactions via its built-in IC chip which allows for no-touch payments in IC card reader-equipped establishments as well as the convenience of having pertinent credit card information entered automatically for online transactions just by simply plugging it into the USB slot of your computer. However, as grand as their announcement to the public, they are quick to note that they won’t go full steam ahead with this project and will still provide the conventional plastic cards until a greater number of establishments become equipped with the IC chip readers.
I guess when this does become mainstream, online fraud will be as easy as plugging in a hijacked USB credit card, but I guess they've already thought of this possibility, or have they?
There’s no doubt that the inclusion of iTunes will be a great asset to Nokia with its comprehensive collection of music and videos, but with Nokia rivaling iTunes at the same time with its own music store, I wonder how they will manage such a collaboration. Add to the mix the
