Embedding a Google Wave

Reggie — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 15:35:12 +0000

It’s been a while since I posted on my blog! Anyway, I just got an invite to the Google Wave developer sandbox. This is my first attempt to embed a wave to my blog using the wavr plug-in. However, unless you have a Google Wave sandbox account, you won’t see the full wave in effect, and all you will see is a Google message that you don’t have a Google Wave Preview account.

The highly anticipated Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 phone will be featured on what seems to be a mystery thriller mini-series called Johnny X. Checkout the preview.

If you are loving the XPERIA X1, I am actually running an enthusiast site for it called inxperia. Come visit when you get the time.

gdgt – a new consumer electronics site

Reggie — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 18:29:20 +0000

Ever heard of Engadget and Gizmodo? Well, the two guys millionaires formerly behind these popular tech blogs are now back with a new site.

gdgt (which reads like ‘gadget’ but pronounced as g-d-g-t) is their new blog where they will be focusing on consumer electronics. A teaser is now up over at http://gdgt.com:

I’m sure this site will be another success. I hope they would cover and review a lot of mobile gadgets. They have their first tech podcast now up on gdgt.

I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Peter Rojas and Ryan Block at Mobius, and all I can say is that they are both smart, down to earth, and great to hang out with.

Asus Eee PC Brothers

It’s always great meeting up with someone who shares the same enthusiasm and know-how on mobile gadgets. I also found it quite special meeting someone with the same passion here in Charleston, WV, a first, after being here for more than 7 years. Today, I got to meet Michael Connick.

I’ve snapped a pic of Michael’s new Asus EeePC 1000H (black) along with my Asus Eee PC 900 (sorry for the quality since I used the iPhone to take the pic). Honestly, the 1000H’s wider 10″ screen and with looks like a standard size keyboard, makes it much more usable and much more comfortable to use. The $150 difference in price seems to be well worth it.

It was great meeting you Michael!

The iPhone 3G a Month After

Reggie — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 15:38:31 +0000

Almost a month with the iPhone 3G and everything is a-okay. I have Gmail, MobileMe, and Exchange all running at the same time. With new apps almost being added everyday, the Apple AppStore is a killer feature. Here’s page one of three of apps I have purchased and downloaded from the AppStore.

Nokia E71 Screen Protector

Reggie — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 01:44:14 +0000

The first mobile phone accessory I always purchase is a screen protector. I have never use any other screen protector brand except for the Ultra Clear ones from Brando. Brando started his company sometime around 2001 by just selling screen protectors. He cuts all the screen protectors in-house. Brando is based in Hong Kong but they will deliver anywhere.

Nokia E71 vs iPhone 3G

Reggie — Sat, 02 Aug 2008 19:43:09 +0000

Here are side-by-side pics of my Nokia E71 and my iPhone 3G. I can honestly say that these two phones are the best out there.

While I use the iPhone more, I do switch between the two phones depending on the occasion and the need. I still prefer the E71’s thumb keybaord to the iPhone’s on-screen keybaord. I can thumb type much faster (on any langauge I prefer) and more accurate, espcially on one hand. The iPhone on the other hand excels on email management, application installation, and as a PMP.

Enjoy the pictures.

The Nokia E71

The newest Nokia E-series phone — the Nokia E71. This replaces my old Nokia E61 and Nokia N95-3.The built-in email client makes the phone crawl when connecting to Gmail. Good thing there is the Nokia Email (on beta) that works much better. I have yet to try the latest Mail for Exchange if it provides better experience.

Thanks to Matt for selling me his extra E71 – NAM.

iPhone 3G vs iPhone EDGE

Reggie — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 15:13:19 +0000

Here’s my old iPhone EDGE side by side with my new iPhone 3G. Having used the older iPhone for more than a year, I immediately noticed that the iPhone 3G is slightly lighter. The iPhone 3G is more, with its plastic back is much more a fingerprint and grease magnet. Good thing I chose the white one.

The iPhone 3G

I was 12th in line when I arrived at about 7:30am at the AT&T Store at the Kanawha Mall. As an Apple user, I chose the white 16GB iPhone 3G.
