Samsung Galaxy S WiFi 5.0

Samsung once again shows no sign of stopping ... another Breakthrough in the world of Technology!

Press Release:


As if the latest announcement of the latest smartphone, the Galaxy S II and the newest tablets, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and 8.9 were not enough to put a twinkle in our eyes, here comes Samsung once again announcing another deliciously desirable gadget, the Samsung Galaxy S WiFi 5.0.

This latest edition to the Galaxy line-up, in the “tech-savvy world” is known as a mobile internet device (MID). What, if you may ask, is a MID? The new Galaxy S Wifi 5.0, for lack of a better description, is the beautiful marriage of a touch MP3 player and an AndroidTM tablet. It has the processing power of a Galaxy Tab and the portability and sound clarity of a touch MP3 player. It has access to hundreds of thousands of apps on the AndroidTMMarket and have the stunning visual display you would wish on your mp3 player. In other words, it’s the“MINI  TABLET” for the entertainment enthusiast.




Featuring a 5″ LCD screen coupled with the mDNIe (Mobile Digital Natural Image engine), the Galaxy S Wifi 5.0 gives a “cinematic” viewing experience no other device with the same screen size can offer. It is just amazingly clear and vivid.

Plus, with its dual surround speakers and SoundAliveTM technology, sharing your fave beats with friends is simply a blast. You won’t believe that two tiny speakers at the back of the Galaxy S WiFi 5.0 generate full deep 3D base and clarity of a concert hall experience.

And, to complement the visual display and the sound clarity, the Galaxy S WiFi 5.0 runs on an ultra fast 1GHz Application Processor whose speeds are similar to its the slightly “bigger brother”, the famous 7” Samsung Galaxy Tab. In addition, this “Mini Tablet” also runs on the AndroidTM 2.2 “Froyo” operating system which basically means access to a sea of applications from games to entertainment, and even “unique and fun” apps    like ghost detectors and mosquito repellants.

“With the Galaxy S WiFi 5.0 we’re delivering a rich, immersive experience for multimedia enthusiasts.” said Glenn Glinoga, Business Unit Director Samsung’s Mobile Communications Business. “A large, high-quality screen, a world of fun and useful applications and great communications services make this a powerhouse device at an affordable price.”

And yes, the Galaxy S WiFi 5.0 has two cameras, one for taking pictures (3mp rear camera) and another for video chatting (1.3mp front view camera). Skype, Qik and other internet voice and video calling apps are all available on this device so internet calling is another plus for this product.

Last but not the least, the version of the Galaxy S WiFi 5.0 that will arrive in the country is the 8GB version with an expandable memory card slot of up to 32GB.

The Samsung Galaxy S WiFi 5.0 is really just that exciting. It will change the way you enjoy surfing the net, watching videos, listening to music, playing games, discovering new apps, reading a book and so much more. It will revolutionize the way you define “entertainment”.

Samsung Galaxy S II: The Smartphone Evolution

Samsung recently launched their newest Smartphone: The Samsung Galaxy S II.
Held in A. Venue Makati City, this is one of the best gadget launch I have attended.


Press Release:


Manila, Philippines - Samsung Electronics Philippines Corp. (SEPCO), the leader in Android smartphones, announced that the Samsung GALAXY S II (Model: GT-I9100) is finally here. The Samsung Galaxy S II is the first 4G phone to hit the country that is faster, brighter, smarter and slimmer versus its highly successful predecessor, the Samsung Galaxy S. The Samsung GALAXY S II bears with it the latest Android smartphone OS, the Android 2.3 Gingerbread. Complementing this latest operating system is an uber fast 1.2GHz Dual Core processor, unparralled display quality on a 4.27” Super AMOLED Plus screen,  an ultra-smart voice solution feature that enables the user to call, text, email and even surf the internet hands-free.

Brighter: Super AMOLED Plus

The Samsung GALAXY S II is equipped with Samsung’s new crystal-clear Super AMOLED Plus screen. This is the most advanced mobile visual display ever created. With this display, Samsung sets a new standard of quality viewing on mobile handsets. The Super AMOLED Plus introduces the best quality in color gamut, contrast ratio and edge sharpness. Plus with a wider viewing angle, you get to experience the vibrant display of the screen from different viewpoints.

Even better is that the Super AMOLED Plus display does not compromise battery performance. A significant reduction in power consumption from Super AMOLED display makes it more energy-efficient than other comparably-sized devices.

With its pre-loaded voice solution feature, Samsung Galaxy S II users can command their phone to call, text and even send emails hands-free. Simply activate the voice solution with these simple words “Hi, Galaxy” and the phone automatically responds by asking the user what he would like to do. This unique solution translates uttered words into both commands and actual text so SMS and emails can be dictated and sent without the use of one’s fingers.

new coke glasses | want it | win it |

From Azrael's Merryland comes this contest to win the 2011 Coca-Cola Can Glass Series from MCDonald's

Coca-Cola Can Glasses from MCDonald's

My entry:

me and my coca-cola family

Here's a bunch of coca-cola stuff that Nikole (my fiance`) and i are collecting. Coke bottles with different coca-cola logos that we only have a few because I am more focused in collecting Coke in cans, I got fascinated by it's different logo designs, shades of red, the theme, tag line etc. that my fiance` sometimes thinks it's weird collecting them, she also finds it irritating whenever i stop by a shelf and seriously look into these cans whenever we go to the grocery, (and boy I am so glad that there'll be Coke Can Glasses), plus these coke in can collections are empty yes they are sealed but empty we created a hole underneath it to be able to remove the content because we thought it might burst on it's own because of pressure and temperature issues if not removed. And finally the coca-cola bottles from MCDonald's. The first time it hit the stores we had a hard time completing them since of course you still need to buy a meal before you could actually add Php25 and purchase it (budget issues) plus the fact that sometimes all the colors were not available, The second batch that came out we almost gave up because we only had like 2 pcs of it. Then one morning before going home from work I passed by MCDonald's near our office and saw that they have a complete set available - people are going crazy getting them and thought this is my only chance to complete this batch and so I immediately called up Nikole, told her what's happening, and then in a heartbeat we decided to just go get them... I ended up coming home carrying the complete set of glasses plus 6 sets of hamdesal meal hahaha.
