Small Fry Netbook bag from Timbuk2

While this Small Fry Netbook bag from Timbuk2 was not really meant for an iPad, the iPad fits just right if you are not using the bulky iPad portfolio cases. The case that I’m using for this iPad is the one from Apple.

Christmas is now fast approaching and gadgets are selling like hotcakes. For those of you who haven’t bought anything yet as a Christmas gift to yourself (or to anyone), you may want to consider the HTC Desire Z and HTC Desire HD.

A few weeks ago, we were invited to the launch of these 2 new phones of HTC. As an Android phone user, I would definitely want to at least touch this (even if I can’t buy it yet!). HTC is a brand now getting popular in the Philippines, especially for Android fans.

Rhian Ramos for HTC Smart

Last August 10th, HTC officially launched Rhian Ramos as their official endorser for HTC Smart which was launched April 2010. The event was held at the Dolce Superclub in Quezon City.

HTC Smart is one of the simplest touch screen phones in the market today. All communications with friends/relatives are organized by conversation and not through applications. This means that you need not go to Facebook or Twitter to see their status updates. When you click on your contact in the HTC Smart phone, you’ll be able to see all the previous conversations, call logs, emails, Facebook and Twitter updates.  The Samsung Galaxy S also has this feature, which makes everything personalized instead of depending on the individual applications. This phone also has what they call Friend Steam which integrates Facebook and Twitter. You will be able to see your friends updates in one application. You can also update your status with this feature. This one, although, doesn’t have Wifi.

The Apple iPad were already being sold in some stores here in Manila. There’s one in Rockwell which sells the 32GB iPad with WiFi and 3G. There are also some stores in Greenhills that sells the Apple iPad. Anyway, if you are planning to go to Hong Kong and Singapore anytime soon, or if you have friends who are there that will be coming home soon, it’s a good idea to get the Apple iPad there.

The promo of Logitech actually started last month but if you’re shopping late for gifts, you might want to consider this Christmas promotion. All you have to do is buy any of these items:

Owners of the 13 inch Macbook Unibody may have had mixed emotions after Apple announced the 13inch Macbook Pro in the WWDC ’09. Others were probably excited while others may have been dismayed especially those who have purchased the Macbook Unibody just a couple of months before WWDC.
