Sink or Swim

Don’t you just love that tagline? I just saw it from Apple’s Macbook Air website. Their creative people must be getting paid a lot of money.

Anyway, Macbook Air is just the coolest notebook by Apple. It’s the world’s thinnest notebook with 13.3-inch widescreen LED display, full-size keyboard, and large multi-touch trackpad. It weighs 3lbs and would you believe, can fit into a large envelope? I’m not kidding. I saw the demo on TV. The Intel Core Duo 2 chip has been customized to fit the Macboook Air so you don’t have to worry about sacrificing performance. It’s also built for the wireless life whether you’re video blogging, renting movies or backing up files into an external drive.

The best thing is, I CAN afford it! LOL. Only because the dollar to peso conversion is so low.

Now this is what I’m talking about.

Before I bought my E65, my first option was Nokia N80. To my utter dismay, there weren’t any stock left on all shops that I visited. It has been phased out a couple of weeks before I’ve decided to buy a new phone. It’s all good though since I got a better deal (except for the cam, that is).

Anyway, back to my post. I’m so happy that N82 is already out. This one is a much improved version of N80.

With 5MP featuring Carl Zeiss Optics, I hope this will produce way better photos than E65. It lets you share as you shoot using a mobile gallery and a one-click photo upload directly to the web via Wi-Fi connectivity. This phone also allows you to create multimedia shows with video playbacks of up to 30 fps and high quality stereo sound. It has full web browser support, digital home capability, bluetooth, wifi, email, document, and many more.

I swear I love my Nokia E65. I can take pictures easily (unlike our bulky, heavy DSLR), record music and videos, video and audio streaming, wi-fi connection so I can connect to the Internet anywhere I am, and lastly but most importantly, I can read ebooks in any format. The tagline for this phone is “where style meets substance” and I couldn’t agree more.

Still, if I have to rant about it, I’d definitely wish for a better camera quality. The package says it has 2MP but the quality of the photos are not even close as to those from N70. What I have are yellowish, blurry pictures especially if the lighting is really bad. I have about twenty reasons why I love this phone and one reason why I don’t. Unfortunately, that one reason is enough to make me want to change to another model.

I’m not really the type who wants to be updated with the latest cellphone model. In fact, I only bought this phone because I’m so tired of lugging the DSLR everywhere I go. Since the photos are not exactly the type that I can blog and brag about, it certainly defeats the purpose.

Oh, yes, I am crazy about anything that has to do with Apple. I blame my boss for this recent addiction of mine. Not that I own any Apple product except for an iPod, but still, it won’t stop me from checking out what’s new, hoping that I can get hold one of them soon. Plus, Apple.com is my top favorite website design of all time. Everything is so web 2.0 – lots of white spaces, huge boxes, fonts, gradient surfaces, shiny graphics and icons. It’s worth taking a daily trip just to inspire myself.

So now, on to the latest news – Apple TV

What Apple TV does is let you rent movie directly from your TV. It has an interface that allows you to browse, rent, and watch movies from every major movie studio such as Touchstone Pictures, Walt Disney, Universal, Paramount and more. The movie rentals are $2.99 for library titles, $3.99 for new releases and $1 for HD titles with Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound. Movies are downloaded instantly and the faster your Internet connection, the better! And for TV show addicts like myself, you can also buy your favorite TV show for only $1.99 each. Still not enough? How about access to free content like YouTube, podcasts, photos, music videos? Yes, they have those too!

Yummy! My husband will definitely drool over this.
