TrackID™ is a feature available in most of the newer range of mobile phones from Sony Ericsson. It’s a feature that allows you to record a few seconds of a song using your mobile, and get track, artist and album information sent to you in seconds. While it’s a handy tool to help you [...]

Most people who own iPods would probably have iTunes installed to transfer/organise music on their iPod and most likely be coerced to use iTunes as their music player on their computer (it’s so tightly integrated that Apple labels it as iPod + iTunes, and apple.com/ipod goes to apple.com/itunes).
Unfortunately, I absolutely loathe iTunes (slow and clunky) [...]

Sony Ericsson W880i Review

As promised, I’m writing a review for W880i, the replacement of my lost K800i.
W880i is the latest addition to Sony Ericsson’s famous Walkman family. Let’s start with the specs of this phone - it has a 1.8″ QVGA screen, 3G Support, Walkman 2.0, unbelievable dimension of 103 x [...]

HP iPAQ rx4540 Review

Got myself a iPAQ recently and I choose not to go down the converged smart phone-PDA route. It was a tough choice between an iPAQ rx4540 and an iPAQ rx5750. I settled for the rx4540 after much deliberation comparing the trade-offs in their various shortcommings. The rx4540 was small enough (size, price and features-to-cost ratio) [...]

D-link DWL-G122 Review

I’ve bought a D-link Wireless USB Adapter from Lowyat Plaza two days back, and decided to write a short review here (in fact I don’t know what is there to write for a Wireless USB Adapter but I’ll just try my best)
I got it for around RM100. The box came with a USB extension cable [...]

Now the other piece of computer hardware which I got hold of recently is the Microsoft Comfort Curve Keyboard 2000. Yes, I actually bought a M$ product. >:| I’ve procrastinated for months in getting a new keyboard even though the 2 year old Logitech standard keyboard keys have gotten really stiff requiring rather strong key [...]

Logitech MX400 review

For someone like me who uses the keyboard and mouse for nearly all of my waking hours, it’s probably pretty important to ensure the input devices I use are ergonomic. As I didn’t have a dedicated mouse at work and was using a Dell mouse (which was not even optical) taken from another machine, I [...]

MacGyver Wannabe (Conclusion)

A week ago, I wrote a post regarding my MacGyver wannabe act.
Wondering what happened?

MacGyver Wannabe (Part I)

MacGyver, the guy who could disarm a nucler warhead with 3 paper clips, some dentist floss, and a broken screwdriver; all while hacking into your wifi connection.
Ok…I’m not sure if he actually did that in the TV series, but I’m certain he has picked a couple of locks before. That is what I am about [...]

SE K800i mini-review

This is going to be my first mini-review (when I say “mini-review”, it’s really just a simple write-up). Anyway, I’ll try to be unbiased as possible to maintain the credibility of this article.
Yeah, it’s about the gadget that I’ve been using since last month, Sony Ericsson K800i. Yes, the previous hyperlink obviously isn’t just for [...]
