Okay this is my last day at the office for this year. I'll be off to Tagaytay till the December the 31st, then off to Hong Kong on January 1st to the 6th. There will be no internet connection in Tagaytay and I probably won't be spending HK$'s to get internet access in our flat in Hong Kong. So I might post using e-mail while I'm in Tagaytay [I'm sure it will be boring as hell... it always is]. Really torn about Hong Kong though... I'm thrilled that I will be able to go gadget shopping, plan to buy a new PPC/PE [probably a Qtek 9100 or Dopod 838], of course I'd have to get a new memory card [since the new PPC/PE I'm eyeing uses miniSD], I also plan to get a new Bluetooth Dongle [v2.0 standard] since my old MSI one really needs to be replaced [it's still Bluetooth v1.0], I also plan to buy a Stereo Bluetooth Headset. Wow! That is a lot [3 out of 5 of my Wishlist] I hope my budget fits.... Shit! I just realized my shopping list is a testament to my geekyness I have no plans to buy any clothes... well maybe a pair of jeans [it's been 7 months since I last bought a pair of jeans or any article of clothing for that matter :P]. Another thing is I'll be able to see my fave Hong Kong friend Cubie [ok you're my only Hong Kong friend... that automatically elevates you to my fave then ;-) hehehe]. Also psyched about the food! I love the food in Hong Kong! IMO, Cantonese cuisine is one of the best among the Chinese cusines... The downside of going to HK is our flat is so small and we will be 8 people [geeez! I wonder how we will fit] we'll also be staying for more than 4 days... too long IMO [really afraid to run out of cash hehehe]. Oh yeah I have to buy gifts for ACP and my family [yeah I haven't done any Christmas shopping yet], I hope I don't get lazy. Shit! I wanna order the Qtek 9100 online already and claim it when I get there! Dunno if they are selling it at retail stores since it is an import model!
So which is it? Nokia (NOK) and Microsoft (MSFT) announced a partnership today. Both lumbering companies have been in some trouble with their smartphone divisions. Both have been loosing market share to Apple, Android and Blackberry in recent years. WindowsMobile (previously PocketPC and currently WindowsPhone) once the dominant mobile OS, yes folks before the iPhone came into power Microsoft slowly but surely killed of it’s main competitor palm OS, which was acquired by hp last year and is now barely a sliver of a shadow of it’s former former former self. Just this week hp/palm unveiled 2 new smartphones the palm Pre 3 and Veer, as well as their entry into the tablet space with the TouchPad. hp being one of the top computer manufacturers at the moment has the resources to use and spread webOS like a creamy peanut butter across all markets they are in. By being one of MSFT’s biggest customers now suddenly not using Windows7 (still MSFT’s tablet OS of choice) and churning out comp...
