Tron Legacy n Gulliver Travels

Had a chance to watch those two in 3d's. Tron Legacy,been waiting for this for a while but got a mixed feelin after the show. To prepared on watching this, I've downloaded the 1982 version. I am so impressed with the current technology and how they trying to described future at that time. The storyline was simple but original.its more focus on the character and how the game was built towards it. But Legacy storyline is much more predictable and more focus on the CGI effect. I felt rather flat.

Gulliver's Travel. I do expect more from Jack Black. Storyline wise, its not that important in most Jack's movie but its not that funny. His usual rock n roll is expected and yet not that funny anymore. I personally think that his performance in Nacho Libere is far more better than this. The 3D effect also failed to impress. At least, Tron Legacy shows better CGI effect.

Microsoft Reveals Windows Phone 7 Update Features

Microsoft has started a dedicated website for Windows Phone 7 updates which are scheduled to hit devices soon. We know that the Copy/Paste update is close by as Microsoft reconfirmed it for early 2011.

The site is referring to the most recent update which is about to hit devices soon, counting the features and fixes it will add to current Windows Phone 7 devices. While there's no mention of update codenames nor the time of the deploy, the first feature mentioned is indeed Copy/Paste, as Joe Belfiore announced it at the platform launch keynote.

The update will allow you to Copy text from emails, text messages, web pages, and Office Mobile documents and Paste wherever text input is available. As far as the process is concerned, "just tap a word, slide your finger to highlight any additional text, then tap the Copy icon. To insert this text in a message or app, just tap the spot where it should go, then tap the Paste icon".

Performance improvements seem to be also present in the upcoming update to deliver faster apps and games. The time to launch applications and games, as well as times needed for these to resume have been allegedly shortened to make things easier and faster.

Marketplace search has been improved to get context sensitive results. As an effect, pressing the Search button within the Apps section of Marketplace will only bring up App title results. Same works for games and music so you will no longer be presented with a common list of results scattered all over the sections of the Marketplace.

If you haven't disabled the Phone Updates check within the Settings of your Windows Phone 7, the device will automatically notify you of the existence of a refresh via a pop-up message, after which you need to connect your phone to your computer using the USB cable to apply.

Windows Phone 7 Marketplace now has more than 20,000 developers

In line with the ever increasing number of applications, the number of developers registered for the Windows Phone 7 Marketplace continues to increase.
On the 23 November Microsoft touted 15,000 developers, a month later on the 21 December 18,000, and at CES yesterday Steve Ballmer noted there were now more than 20,000 producing more than 100 apps per day. At that run rate the Windows Phone 7 marketplace should surpass the Blackberry app world’s 16,000 odd apps in less than a quarter.
Steve Ballmer also noted customer satisfaction was high, saying “When people see the phone, they fall in love with it… Nine out of ten customers say they’d recommend the phone.”
These metrics should only continue to improve, with the addition soon of important elements such as cut and paste and faster application resumption.

Toshiba announces unnamed Tegra 2-powered Android tablet, waits only for Honeycomb

Let the Tegra 2-powered, Android Honeycomb tablet announcements begin! Apparently (and understandably) staying away from a Folio 2 moniker, Toshiba is kicking off CES with its new unnamed 10.1-inch Android tablet, and we have to say from our brief look at a non-working unit a few weeks ago, it may just have what it takes to stick out from the rest.. at least on the spec and manufacturing quality front. The tablet has a capacitive, high 1280 x 800-resolution display along with an accelerometer and ambient light sensor (or what Toshiba has dubbed as Adaptive Display technology). It also has a 5 megapixel rear camera as well as a 2 megapixel front-facing one. Yep, this one is well stocked and just a quick look at the pictures below will show that the slab has got full sized USB and HDMI jacks, a single mini-USB socket, and an SD card slot.

While we couldn't turn on the dual-core Tegra 2-powered tablet, which will eventually run "the next version of Android designed for tablets" aka Honeycomb, we have to say the EasyGrip, spill-resistant, rubberized back felt really solid in hand and the 1.7-pound, .6-inch thick tablet felt comparable to the iPad in terms of portability. Oh, and did we mention that the aforementioned rear cover is swappable, so not only can you change its color but you can replace the battery? We told you it had some of the ingredients to make it go far, but we're obviously lacking quite a bit of information here to make any further decisions. Toshiba's maintaining that the tablet will be released in the first half of 2011 and the pricing will be competitive, but we'll be digging for more when we get to Vegas and hopefully reporting back with some impressions of a working unit.

My First Flat Tyre experience....

It happened during last Saturday ride at Guthrie Highway. Must hit a sharp object or broken glass.

My HTC HD7 Windows Phone 7

Its been 2 weeks since i've joined the Phone 7 bandwagon. What i can shared with you, the new phone 7 OS is so smooth. I personally think its a lot smoother than the Iphone. The Metro UI is drop dead gorgeous. The phone itself feels high end and love the kick stand.Phone 7 experience is totally different. It move away from most of the others OS, which is app base. Live tiles concept is new and refreshing. Of coz, its not a perfect OS but Microsoft has done a great job with Phone 7. I do hope that January update will include the missing pieces of what most people wanted in nowadays smartphone.I've been using a lot of phone and Windows Phone 7 is definitely the best for me.

Upcoming Movies...Battle: LA

Teaser Poster

One of my anticipated movie. Just luv the trailer. And Michelle Rodriguez is there..

Toshiba Folio 100

Had a chance to get my hands on the suppose to be another IPAD challenger. But unfortunately, nope. On paper, its a vastly superior product. Web cam, Flash support, HDMi output, SD card etc... but overall, its like an unfinished product. The plasticy feeling is there. The accelerometer is not as fast or smooth as IPAD. There's also some reports on the net that there's been a glitch on the system and the Flash support and the droids market place is still nowhere to be found. Hopefully, Toshiba will immediate rectify the problems. As for me, I can live with the plasticy feeling as it wouldn't bother me at all. All the proper ingredient is there already.
