You read it right guys, Google is now everywhere, even on your smart phone! Google recently announced their partnership with T-Mobile that integrates their "Google technology" on T-Mobile's G1 phone.


Armed with the new "Android" operating system which promises full customization from users, G1 is packed with anything Google. From YouTube to Google Talk, G1 offers the services of Google right at your fingertips. The phone is equipped with a full QWERTY keyboard, a 3 meg camera, 3G and WiFi connectivity. a touchscreen, a multimedia player, all the features that would make iPhone cry for daddy Steve Jobs. I know I've been waiting for Sony Ericsson's Xperia X1 but I could have a change of heart

Elmo Live!



After the success of Tickle Me Elmo last year, Fisher Price launched a new Elmo for the whole family. This new breed of Elmo, Elmo Live!, hailed as the "most innovative and engaging Elmo toy ever," will officially hit store shelves today (October 14th) for $59.99, though we suspect the first batch will be snapped up in no time flat. Of course, those of you intent on retaining your sanity probably pre-ordered a few months back, but for everyone else, your battle to get one of this year's hottest holiday gifts starts in under 24 hours. For those wondering what's so special about this fellow, he supposedly tells jokes and makes movements that "give kids the feeling that Elmo is alive in their own homes."

Nokia 5800 Xpress Music.. Another Iphone Killer



The trend of creating a smartphone is upon us. Thanks to Apple's iPhone, many company created their own cash cow that would make iPhone cry in envy. We all know that iPhone is all about hype and the emerging smartphones can prove to that. The Philippine community bought an iPhone becuase of the hype, they don't care if the interface is so-so. Anyway, on with the new Nokia 5800 Xpress Music.

This baby boast a 3.2" inch touchscreen and two cameras, a 3.2 snapper and a VGA front camera. The usual features like 3G,HSDPA and Wifi connectivity are present. It comes with a 8GB microSD straight from the box which really helps a lot.What concerns me is the S60 OS which is different from the usual Windows Mobile 6.1 of the other smartphones coming out of the market. Whether Nokia's faith on the Symbian OS be successful or not depends on the reaction of the users who will use it. All we can do is wait and see.
