<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Hello. So, you already know I got my DSi hooked up to Wi-fi. (Wireless Internet, basically) I also got my Wii hooked up to it to. <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>One of the best things you can use Wi-fi to is from Mario Kart Wii. You can race people from all around the world! It&#8217;s really cool. But guess who I raced against yesterday?</p>
<p>OBAMA</p>
<p>Seriously, I raced Obama. It said it was from Washington DC. <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Also, there&#8217;s the Wii Shop Channel. You can also get new channels from there too. The new channels we got were the Nintendo Channel, Check Out My Mii channel, and Everybody Votes Channel. (I haven&#8217;t tried doing Sumper Smash Bros. Brawl yet :/)</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://addicts4gadgets.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/pantech-impact.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-214" title="pantech-impact" src="http://addicts4gadgets.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/pantech-impact.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Pantech intends to create an impact among cellphone users in the US with their latest release from AT&#38;T – ironically, the cellphone itself has been named “Impact” for obvious reasons. This being the second Pantech handset to arrive in store shelves this coming holiday season, you will be able to choose from a couple of colors, where they are bright blue and soft pink. This cellphone will sport a totally new form factor that has never been found in AT&#38;T’s stable of quick messaging phones, boasting a high-gloss faceplate with a haptic response touchpad, a couple of displays to keep up with the current trend, a full hidden keyboard as well as a bunch of the latest social and multimedia options to make sure that Gen Y folks remain connected in a fun manner all the time.</p>
<p>Impact offers a totally new user experience right from the get go, where its shiny blackout exterior is surrounded by textured blue or pink detailing. Every time the touchpad which is located below the screen is pressed, it will automatically spring to action, coaxing your hand to provide the finger taps it so craves in order to “answer” with a soft, tactile buzz. This allows the Impact to play and control music, make a call, or send texts without the need to open the phone.</p>
<p>The Impact also comes with a sideways flip that opens up to reveal full QWERTY keyboard which makes it a snap to compose those long winded emails to your Aunt Martha in a flurry, while even traditionally long text messages would fall prey to your brilliantly fast fingers as they dance across an all-too-familiar keyboard layout. Apart from that, you will also get a range of shortcut keys that make room for one-touch access to IM, text, email, and switching between applications. The second full-color display screen is great for viewing videos, friends’ profiles and flipping through images, while either side of the display houses speakers that makes tuning in to your favorite songs a joy. The Impact will retail for a surprisingly affordable $99.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate for a new 2-year contract.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Tras usar durante infinidad de tiempo mi <a href="http://luipermom.wordpress.com/2008/03/15/review-ipod-nano-3g/" target="_blank">iPod Nano de tercera generación</a> (que ahora emplea mi hermana en su aventura Erasmus por Bruselas) y <a href="http://luipermom.wordpress.com/2008/09/27/ahora-puedo-llevar-toda-mi-musica-encima-ipod-classic-de-80-gb/" target="_blank">el Classic de sexta generación</a>, llevo unos días pegado a un iPod Touch de tercera generación con una capacidad de 8 GB que viene conmigo a todas partes. Desde que este modelo del icónico reproductor musical apareciera en el mercado allá por el 2007 siempre me han llamado mucho la atención, de modo que cuando el otro día ofrecían en el foro de <a href="http://www.elotrolado.net/" target="_blank">Elotrolado.net</a> uno apenas desprecintado por sólo 110 euros no me lo pensé mucho antes de aceptar.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a title="iPod Touch 3ª gen (8 GB) por luipermom, en Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/luipermom/4116078006/" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" style="border:1px solid black;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2561/4116078006_f973c6b419.jpg" alt="iPod Touch 3ª gen (8 GB)" width="333" height="500" /></a></p>
<p><strong>¿Qué tiene de particular un iPod Touch?</strong></p>
<p>El iPod Touch es un <em>gadget</em> que mezcla la reproducción de música, vídeo y podcasts con otras características más avanzadas como la conectividad inalámbrica, navegación por Internet, gestión del correo electrónico, integración con Google Maps&#8230; así como la posibilidad de instalar las aplicaciones disponibles en la App Store de Apple. De todos modos, una definición muy empleada para hacernos una idea del concepto básico de este aparato es que se trata de <em>&#8220;un iPhone sin phone&#8221;</em>.</p>
<p>Nada más abrir la caja del iPod Touch uno se encuentra en la mano con un aparato muy ligero y sobre todo muy esbelto: es tan fino y suave en los bordes que parece que se va a deslizar entre nuestros dedos. Del mismo modo, la cubierta trasera es del mismo material y estilo habitual en los reproductores de la firma de la manzana: acero cromado que se raya con mirarlo. De hecho, tras unos días de uso y sabiendo lo cuidadoso que soy con mis cosas, empiezan ya a aparecer en ella las típicas marcas que con el tiempo dejarán esta superficie prácticamente mate; que es como está ahora esa parte de mi iPod Classic.</p>
<p>En todo caso, me niego a emplear ningún tipo de funda en mis aparatos: pagamos una pasta por un teléfono un poco más delgado que el anterior o por un MP3 que podamos llevar en el pantalón sin notarlo y le cascamos una gruesa funda de silicona que multiplica su volumen por dos y hace que sacar el gadget del bolsillo se convierta en un sufrimiento. Yo lo siento por los arañazos de la cubierta trasera, pero no veréis un gadget de mi propiedad envuelto en una fea funda de silicona; aunque sí que es verdad que ya procuro que en el bolsillo donde va el iPod o teléfono de turno no haya ninguna otra cosa (llaves, monedas&#8230;). Y es cierto que hubo una época en la que compré un par de fundas para mi iPod Nano e incluso <a href="http://luipermom.wordpress.com/2008/03/22/protegiendo-un-ipod-carcasa-rigida-vs-funda-de-silicona/" target="_blank">hice una comparativa entre ambas</a>; pero sopesando los pros y los contras al final opté por llevarlo &#8220;a pelo&#8221; en el bolsillo.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a title="iPod Touch 3ª gen (8 GB) por luipermom, en Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/luipermom/4115126577/" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" style="border:1px solid black;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2586/4115126577_8932aa6390.jpg" alt="iPod Touch 3ª gen (8 GB)" width="500" height="186" /></a></p>
<p>Como os decía el reproductor es realmente delgado: bastante más que el iPod Classic y más o menos en la línea de grosor del iPod Nano de tercera generación. Sus medidas en concreto son 110 × 61 × 8 mm. En cuanto al peso, se queda en 115 gramos. El reproductor, visto desde arriba es un poco más alto que un Classic, pero en su delgadez es donde reside su gran ventaja en cuanto a la portabilidad del mismo.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a title="iPod Touch 3ª gen (8 GB) por luipermom, en Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/luipermom/4115127427/" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" style="border:1px solid black;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2507/4115127427_41e75b073e.jpg" alt="iPod Touch 3ª gen (8 GB)" width="500" height="267" /></a></p>
<p><strong>La filosofía Touch</strong></p>
<p>La filosofía del iPod Touch es muy diferente a la de los reproductores más clásicos de la marca de la manzana equipados con la típica rueda táctil. En este caso, el aparato sólo tiene tres botones físicos: un botón de inicio bajo la pantalla, otro de bloqueo en el borde superior y un pulsador doble en el lateral que sirve para subir y bajar el volumen sin tener que andar trasteando con la pantalla. En la parte inferior se puede encontrar el típico conector para sincronizar y cargar los iPod así como el jack estándar de 3,5mm para conectar los auriculares.</p>
<p>Por lo demás, todo el manejo del iPod Touch se basa en el empleo de la pantalla multitáctil de 3.5 pulgadas y resolución de 320 x 480 píxels. Pulsando sobre sus iconos arrancaremos las aplicaciones que nos permitirán escuchar música, ver vídeos, navegar por Internet, acceder a la tienda virtual de Apple, consultar el e-mail, acceder a Google Maps, mirar las cotizaciones de la bolsa, la previsión meteorológica&#8230; y todo lo que podamos imaginar mediante la instalación de aplicaciones externas como luego veremos.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a title="iPod Touch 3ª gen (8 GB) por luipermom, en Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/luipermom/4115129925/" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" style="border:1px solid black;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2618/4115129925_65a1e9bd25.jpg" alt="iPod Touch 3ª gen (8 GB)" width="500" height="333" /></a></p>
<p>Actualmente el iPod Touch se comercializa en 3 tamaños: 8 GB, 32 GB y 64 GB; si bien el más pequeño no es más que uno de segunda generación con firmware actualizado a la última versión; y de ahí su bajo precio (oficialmente cuesta 179 euros; mientras que las versiones de mayor capacidad se van a los 269 y 359 euros respectivamente). Exceptuando algún detalle, la funcionalidad es la misma, por lo que todo aquello que os comente sobre el modelo básico se puede extrapolar a los dos modelos superiores.</p>
<p>En cualquier caso, no es la capacidad de almacenamiento lo que más me llama la atención del iPod Touch; sino el conjunto de todas sus características. Para llevar encima toda mi música y mis podcasts ya tengo los 80 GB del iPod Classic, por lo que el Touch lo tengo para emplear sus caracterísiticas multimedia y llevar una selección de unos veinte discos que me puede apetecer escuchar en cierto momento. Selección que voy cambiando de vez en cuando en función de mis gustos musicales o los álbumes que más esté escuchando en una época determinada. Más o menos lo mismo que hacía cuando el iPod Nano era mi único reproductor portátil.</p>
<p><strong>La importancia del Wi-Fi</strong></p>
<p>Sobre el papel, el Touch promete muchas cosas que hay que coger un poco con pinzas: si estamos bajo una red Wi-Fi a la que podamos conectarnos disfrutaremos de todas sus funciones, pero fuera de su cobertura la funcionalidad del Touch queda un poco mermada. Podemos arrancar la aplicación del correo (compatible con la mayoría de las cuentas POP3 e IMAP, por cierto) y escribir un borrador estemos donde estemos; pero no podremos mandarlo hasta que nos conectemos a una red Wi-Fi. Del mismo modo, Google Maps también toma los datos de Internet, por lo que sin conexión a la red de redes no podremos consultar ningún dato. Si necesitáis consultar todas estas cosas estéis donde estéis, vuestras necesidades van más enfocadas a un iPhone o similar; es decir, un dispositivo que se conecte a Internet mediante la red de telefonía móvil, pues así no dependeréis de encontrar una red Wi-Fi abierta; algo que en España todavía no es tan común como en EEUU o Japón.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a title="iPod Touch 3ª gen (8 GB) por luipermom, en Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/luipermom/4115133711/" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" style="border:1px solid black;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2666/4115133711_efe06e68d7.jpg" alt="iPod Touch 3ª gen (8 GB)" width="500" height="333" /></a></p>
<p>Como estáis viendo, la conexión Wi-Fi es el eje central de todas las funciones de conectividad del iPod Touch, por lo que siempre estaremos limitados a encontrar una red inalámbrica a la que conectarnos si queremos aprovechar todo su potencial. En caso contrario, el iPod Touch es un reproductor multimedia fantástico que además cuenta con una gran autonomía; pero no podremos disfrutar del resto de sus características al 100%.</p>
<p>De todos modos, para no alargar demasiado este artículo os voy a enumerar algunas características del Touch que me han gustado especialmente para luego puntualizar otras que no me han hecho demasiada gracia. Creo que será mejor hacerlo así, porque si voy enumerando características párrafo tras párrafo esto puede acabar siendo el artículo de nunca acabar; y lo que quiero es dar una visión muy general del Touch con sus pros y sus contras.</p>
<p><strong>Cosas que me gustan del iPod Touch</strong></p>
<p><strong>+ Conectividad Wi-Fi</strong>: soy un enamorado de la conectividad inalámbrica. El primer dispositivo Wi-Fi que entró en mi casa fue mi portatil Toshiba hace ya unos cinco años; y desde entonces cada vez hay más cosas que se conectan de este modo a Internet. Si un ordenador está fijo en un lugar de la casa soy el primero que lo conecta por cable porque es más rápido e inmune a interferencias; pero para dispositivos móviles el Wi-Fi es lo mejor que les ha podido pasar.</p>
<p><strong>+ E-mail</strong>: la aplicación que gestiona el e-mail funciona estupendamente. Es rápida, fácil de usar y muy funcional. Me gusta mucho poder escribir un mail en cualquier lugar con facilidad y comodidad. Si tengo conexión a Internet lo puedo mandar en ese preciso instante; pero si no, se almacena y se envía en cuanto me conecte a una red Wi-Fi.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8340" style="border:1px solid black;" title="ipod touch 016mod" src="http://luipermom.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/ipod-touch-016mod.png" alt="" width="320" height="480" /></p>
<p><strong>+ Google Maps</strong>: una de las aplicaciones más útiles que existen. Es raro el día que no uso Google Maps en mi ordenador para localizar alguna dirección, por lo que su inclusión en el iPod Touch me parece todo un acierto por si necesitamos encontrar algún lugar &#8220;sobre la marcha&#8221;. Por cierto, me parece impresionante que tengamos disponible el modo <a href="http://luipermom.wordpress.com/2009/11/22/google-street-view/" target="_blank">Google Street View</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8278" style="border:1px solid black;" title="ipod touch 022" src="http://luipermom.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/ipod-touch-022.png" alt="" width="320" height="480" /></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8305" style="border:1px solid black;" title="ipod touch 019" src="http://luipermom.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/ipod-touch-019.png" alt="" width="320" height="480" /></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8281" style="border:1px solid black;" title="ipod touch 020" src="http://luipermom.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/ipod-touch-0201.png" alt="" width="480" height="320" /></p>
<p><strong>+ Precisión de la pantalla</strong>: el teclado (y en general todo lo que se maneja en pantalla) tiene una precisión envidiable, y lo mejor es que no hay que usar ningún tipo de lápiz táctil para ello. Usaremos los dedos para manejar todos y cada uno de los aspectos del aparato y veremos que su precisión es grande. Y no creáis que hay presionar mucho; un sutil toque con la yema del dedo basta para que el Touch se entere de nuestras intenciones.</p>
<p><strong>+ Navegador integrado</strong>: el Touch viene con el navegador Safari integrado y funciona muy bien. No tiene soporte para Flash, pero en general las páginas web cargan con rapidez y uno se puede mover con soltura por ellas. Me encanta que con un doble click sobre una parte de la web se hace un zoom para pasar a ocupar todo el ancho de la pantalla. Si ponemos el Touch en horizontal el navegador se adapta a dicho formato.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8282" style="border:1px solid black;" title="ipod touch 010" src="http://luipermom.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/ipod-touch-010.png" alt="" width="480" height="320" /></p>
<p><strong>+ Aplicaciones externas</strong>: la posibilidad de instalar cualquier aplicación desarrollada para el iPod Touch aumenta las posibilidades del aparato. Las hay enfocadas a todo tipo de cosas; desde una que nos permitirá estar al tanto de las misiones de la NASA o consultar el plano del Metro hasta otras tan frívolas como convertir el Touch en una espada de Star Wars o en un nivel de burbuja. Del mismo modo, también hay gran cantidad de juegos disponibles, siendo algunos de ellos técnicamente bastante buenos. Aunque muchas aplicaciones son de pago, hay también un buen número de ellas que son completamente gratuitas (de hecho todas las que aparecen en la siguiente captura lo son).</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">
<p><strong>Cosas que no me gustan del iPod Touch</strong></p>
<p><strong>- Autonomía de la batería</strong>: si bien la autonomía como reproductor de MP3 es excelente (la marca dice que una carga completa nos dará 36 horas de audio), esta se reducirá considerablemente si empezamos a trastear con todas las funciones multimedia, Wi-Fi y demás hasta el punto de que si lo usamos intensivamente tendremos que ponerlo a cargar prácticamente todos los días.</p>
<p><strong>- Agarre</strong>: hay que tener cuidado al coger el iPod Touch para que no se nos resbale de las manos. Sus bordes son muy finos y están tan pulidos que a veces me da la sensación de que el aparato se puede resbalar e ir al suelo. No se me ha caído ni una vez, pero al sacarlo del bolsillo siempre voy con mucho cuidado para no llevarme un susto.</p>
<p><strong>- Sistema de localización</strong>: puede que en grandes ciudades como Madrid o Barcelona sea más preciso; y cuando lo pruebe por allí actualizaré este punto con algún comentario al respecto. Sin embargo, mis tests por Alcalá de Henares han sido decepcionantes: al no tener GPS integrado (el iPhone sí lo tiene) la localización del aparato se basa únicamente en la identificación de las redes Wi-Fi que haya en el alcance del aparato (si es que las hay), las cuales tendrán que estar dadas de alta en una base de datos que relaciona el identificador de la red como sus coordenadas geográficas. En un mundo ideal la idea funcionaría; pero la realidad es que las pocas veces que el sistema me ha posicionado he obtenido márgenes de error de varios kilómetros, llegando al extremo en una ocasión de situarme directamente sobre Castelldefels (Barcelona) cuando en realidad estaba en pleno centro de Alcalá.</p>
<p><strong>Trucos y consejos de uso</strong></p>
<p><strong>·</strong> Para ahorrar batería os recomiendo desactivar el push para las aplicaciones que hagan uso del mismo (como el gestor de e-mail). Lo del push consiste en que si está activado, el iPod estará constantemente conectado a Internet por si llega un correo de modo que os lo notificará al instante; pero claro, eso implica un gasto de batería considerable y tampoco creo que pase nada si tardamos un cuarto de hora en recibir un e-mail.</p>
<p>En mi caso, lo que hago es desactivar el push y ajustar un intervalo de comprobación del mail de 30 minutos. De este modo, si la pantalla del iPod está activa (trasteamos por sus menús con el Wi-Fi encendido) se estará comprobando el e-mail constantemente; pero en el momento que la pantalla se apague, el Wi-Fi sólo se conectará cada media hora para ver si hay correos nuevos en el servidor y a continuación se volverá a apagar.</p>
<p><strong>·</strong> En el momento que encendamos la pantalla, si había algún correo nuevo aparecerá una cifra junto al icono del mail para indicar dicha situación. Del mismo modo, los correos que hayamos redactado sin conexión y que tengamos almacenados en la bandeja de salida se mandarán en cuanto el iPod se conecte a Internet.</p>
<div id="attachment_8297" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 330px"><img class="size-full wp-image-8297" title="ipod touch 026" src="http://luipermom.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/ipod-touch-026.png" alt="" width="320" height="480" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Pantalla de inicio del iPod Touch. ¡Tengo un e-mail sin leer!</p></div>
<p style="text-align:center;">
<p><strong>·</strong> En Google Maps se queda en caché lo último que hayamos visto en el mapa. Por tanto, si no tenemos claro que en el sitio al que vayamos a ir pueda haber una red Wi-Fi disponible puede ser una buena idea visitar esa localización cuando tengamos conexión a Internet para que así la tengamos en la caché y la podamos consultar una vez allí.</p>
<p><strong>·</strong> Podéis hacer una captura de pantalla del iPod Touch en cualquier momento pulsando al mismo tiempo el botón central y el de bloqueo. Así es como he sacado las capturas que ilustran este artículo.</p>
<p><strong>Capturas varias</strong></p>
<p>Para finalizar, os dejo con algunas capturas acompañas de algún breve comentario de cosas que se han quedado &#8220;en el tintero&#8221; a lo largo del artículo pero que no quiero dejar pasar por alto.</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">
<p><strong>Conclusiones</strong></p>
<p>Podemos resumir todo lo visto anteriormente diciendo que el iPod Touch es un dispositivo capaz de cubrir unas cuantas necesidades en un aparato que apenas se nota en el bolsillo. Sin embargo, la mayoría de sus funciones dependen de que podamos estar conectados a una red Wi-Fi; por lo que el Touch será más útil cuantas más redes de este tipo haya en el entorno por el que nos movamos. En medio del campo el iPod Touch es un fantástico reproductor de música, podcasts y vídeo que también hará funciones de bloc de notas; pero poco más.</p>
<p>Sin embargo, en medio de una gran ciudad, con muchas posibilidades de conectarnos a una red Wi-Fi abierta, el iPod Touch se convierte en un pequeño ordenador que nos va a permitir navegar por Internet, consultar el correo y hacer prácticamente todo lo que podemos hacer con el ordenador de casa (salvando las distancias, claro está).</p>
<p>La conectividad a Internet es la clave del Touch; pero&#8230; ¿no es precisamente ese el futuro de la informática? De hecho, Google con su Chrome OS plantea algo similar: un sistema operativo para ordenadores personales que necesita Internet para funcionar al 100% y que sin esa conexión no es capaz más que de ejecutar algunas funciones básicas. Está claro que Internet no es nada sin la informática; pero en un futuro cercano la informática tampoco será nada sin Internet.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Samsung Corby The colour- Very bright, young, and possible appreciated only by these kind of people ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Samsung Corby</p>
<p><em>The colour- Very bright, young, and possible appreciated only by these kind of people</em></p>
<p>I had the Yellow. Bright, almost offensive (to some, not me!) yellow- though I clearly supported Pink in the Corby Colour wars on Twitter <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> .</p>
<p><a href="http://bridgingdigitaldivides.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/corby.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-148" title="corby" src="http://bridgingdigitaldivides.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/corby.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="244" /></a></p>
<p><em>The look- Oh la la!</em></p>
<p>My first impression about Corby was that- it is a darn good-looking phone. And I think I’ll still stay by that first impression. I might’ve my sister in the background flashing her iPhone like iPod, but given the price point, Corby to me was a stunner at just the right price. I must also admit, that when I looked at it, it looked fine with/without the price. The preloaded themes were a far cry from what other phones in the market come with, and this I mean in a pretty good way. I loved them. They felt funny, warm, and went along perfectly well with the sunny look. It’s also got an iPod like cartwheel for sound adjustments. On a quick dip-stick survey of my cousins (17 and 21), my sister (24), my colleagues (both 24) and boss (38) – all of them loved the way it looked. I guess Corby’s got the look just right.</p>
<p><em>The touch- Delicate though very responsive</em></p>
<p>The second reason for not getting an iPhone (which I almost use as a cliché for a touch phone) is that I felt it would get my typing speed slowed down. Of course I never used an iPhone due to the first reason that it is obscenely overpriced in India (for what it provides). But I could see why data usage surged with the “touch”. Corby has a multitouch interface, which responds very quickly so that, I felt with the dictionary on, I was up to speed very very quickly (this is quite a deal, as my Fringe/ Gtalk speeds are not easily discernable, i.e. I type just as fast on the phone). It did feel a bit weird to use an all touch phone from my regular all button phone, but it was a great experience. Very quick. However, the one thing that was bugging at times was that one has to lock the phone/ screen even if one is holding the phone, as it is too responsive, so if you’re not locked, you’re sending messages and calling people randomly. Locking isn’t that tough, however, it is darn delicate.</p>
<p><em>Inserting address “kink”</em></p>
<p>On my current phone if I have people in a group e.g. School A, School B, School C etc., I can type A, B and reach the people easily through my address book. However the Corby doesn’t quite recognize A, B separately and only searches for ‘School’. I guess it’s the inability to recognize “groups”. And since all my contacts have a prefixed group, it’s slightly bugging.</p>
<p><em>Deal maker or deal breaker?- No Wi-Fi <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> </em></p>
<p>I think Samsung got it right, however, my provider Vodafone (and all not just them) need to come up with better data plans. I do not know which data plan would meet the needs of the Corby phone, as I am pretty much on a Wi-Fi network on my regular phone. This to me was the biggest hindrance in say buying a Corby as I would want to access data with it on my Wi-Fi- which is a space Corby keeps away from. Is that how they keep an ASP of 7,900? Apparently, there are some good data plans with Airtel. Vodafone- anyone listening? Sigh!</p>
<p><em>Widgets? Useful, but not the most intuitive to get going</em></p>
<p>Corby has widgets on the home screen which point to social networking sites like Twitter/ Facebook etc. These I didn’t think were overly intuitive to use (without the manual i.e., considering I had a demo model).</p>
<p><em>Battery</em><em>? Low, low!! </em></p>
<p>Considering it’s a big phone with a huge screen, I already felt battery would be an issue. But with my limited phone usage (I am not so much of a talker, though I have my share of data- not exhaustive, but still) it lasted me just less than a day. Now if college kids is what their target is, Corby massively falls short of the battery levels they need. As those kids text, and click pictures ALL of the time.</p>
<p><em>Pictures? 2 Mp- decent, but hey Video recording- awesomeness!</em></p>
<p>I use a 5Mp camera- which I pretty much think rocks. I was slightly (not overtly) shocked that 2 Mp was also decent. And the video recording was fine too, just that the sound recorded is low- but that’s a case with most phones.</p>
<p><em>Price? Perfecto!</em></p>
<p>This is where I feel Corby has got it perfect. It the right price for the model. Going by what Samsung had said on the launch of Jet, guess touch leadership is still in sight!</p>
<p>Well then, let’s have more rolling!! <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://en.gravatar.com/userimage/1987529/e13dfb6660ba0b0d55fe464e0301ff6c?size=90alt" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">If you haven&#8217;t noticed, the past week or so has been filled with&#8230; well, nothing. Not surprised? Technically, due to our crazy activeness in writing posts, you might have seen this coming. So. I have a more valid excuse this week, at least it&#8217;s a little less vague as &#8220;I was busy.&#8221; And way better than a disappointingly honest &#8220;I was just too lazy to give a cat&#8217;s whisker.&#8221; Although the last two are usually true, this week Jehovah has decided to at least give me an alibi for <em>all</em> of this blog&#8217;s millions of viewers.</p>
<p>My terribly horrible (no, I mean it was truly terribly horrible) reason is this: the internet. Or rather, airport. Or that little black box with the blinking green lights that&#8217;s plugged into the computer. I don&#8217;t really know the difference, and one day I&#8217;m going to ask Steve Jobs exactly why those little white boxes are called airports. It doesn&#8217;t really make much sense to me. All I know is that all of those things have decided to quit, or go on strike. Either that or they&#8217;re going through puberty as moody adolescents who throw fits and have mood-swings. If you didn&#8217;t understand my analogy, I mean that my internet sucks. When it works it works for an hour or less and only connects to one computer. In fact, it&#8217;s a miracle that I&#8217;m able to even publish this, since this is really an old post that I&#8217;ll be saving (and then publishing) when my internet connects for more than five minutes.</p>
<p>Have you ever gone camping? And not your lame excuse kind of camping where you pitch a tent in your backyard (or neighbor&#8217;s yard, if you want an adventure), but I mean in the (sort of) untouched wilderness of Utah, or Montana, or um&#8230; the park down the street. But anyway, the point is that things, things that normally don&#8217;t matter begin to become a hassle. Like washing your hands for example, brushing your teeth, avoiding bear wastes, or producing wastes. All of these things are hard to do whilst in the wilderness (might or might not apply to neighbor&#8217;s backyard). When you finally decide to take the long trek to the outhouse at night, everyone jumps up to go with you, you all need to take care of unfinished business. Right?</p>
<p>Well, the same goes for bad internet. When you haven&#8217;t used it in weeks and your email is piling up, or you haven&#8217;t harvested your crops on FarmVille and they&#8217;re all wilted, every chance you get to go do those things&#8211;you&#8217;ll take it. Which pretty much explains why my family takes a laptop with us wherever we go. If we&#8217;re at a coffee shop with free wi-fi: Get out the laptop! Cruising through residential areas: Get out the laptop! We&#8217;ve become first-class internet pirates. Although we don&#8217;t wear pirate hats or have parrots/monkeys on our shoulders, we are real deal. Taking over (not really) your internet for as long as we can. So beware, until I get my internet fixed, I might be parked outside your home, using your internet that you paid for with your own money (if you don&#8217;t have a password, that is) or rolling down your street at five miles per hour, looking for more internets to plunder. As a consolation, you should be honored.</p>

<title><![CDATA[Is Wi-Fi Radiation As Bad As Cell Phone Radiation? ]]></title>

<description><![CDATA[Human beings are comprised of about 70% water, and radiation is readily absorbed by water. In certai]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Human beings are <a href="http://www.madsci.org/posts/archives/may2000/958588306.An.r.html" target="_blank">comprised of about 70% water</a>, and radiation is readily absorbed by water. In certain cases, various types of radiation can deform our basic cellular structure to certain levels which can eventually lead to our horrible, distorted, collective death. As a result of being human (the word human, in this instant, sounds pejorative, as if I were advocating radiation-resistant cybernetic body replacements, but I&#8217;m not), we are highly susceptible to organ tissue damage which in turn invites diseases such as cancer, tumors, and <a href="http://blogs.babble.com/famecrawler/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/jon-and-kate-plus-8-announcement.jpg" target="_blank">undesirable mutation</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/gesteves/2477396306/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-476" title="Wi-Fi" src="http://johnnylopez.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/wi-fi1.jpg" alt="" width="510" height="385" /></a></p>
<p>It makes sense that Wi-Fi (as used for internet connectivity) radiation would seep effortlessly through the still developing skulls of children, so it stands to argue that Wi-Fi infused schools pose a threat to the overall well-being of the world&#8217;s childhood population, specially now that more and more schools are romancing over wireless connection capabilities. And with good reason.</p>
<p>This is a technology that has proven itself time and time again, it makes my life easier when I can carry my laptop from room to room without any worry that someone in full sprint will trip over my 20-foot long ethernet cable tethering my computer to the wall. But it may seem that my fears have been misplaced, because I can live with a broken laptop (<a href="http://www.apple.com/timecapsule/" target="_blank">standalone backup</a>) but I don&#8217;t stand a chance to live a fruitful, happy life if my membrum virile begins to take on a frightening sentient autonomy.</p>
<p>Schools outfitted with Wi-Fi capabilities have been shown to emit radiation three times greater than cell phone masts and this has been perpetuated by mass media as concentrated rays of death, when more accurately, they&#8217;re a type of light poison that your body absorbs and over a length of continuous exposure may cause certain disease or death. Now, granted, cell phones themselves emit <a href="http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2009/09/cellphone-radiation/" target="_blank">much larger levels of radiation</a>, while Wi-Fi nodes emit radio waves similar to household microwave ovens, the radiation <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/6676129.stm" target="_blank">strength of Wi-Fi is 100,000 times less</a> than of a conventional microwave oven.</p>
<p>Wi-Fi ready schools emit radiation levels higher than cell phone masts, but even then that&#8217;s still 600 times below government regulations. Which raises the question, is the basis of these safety limits wrong to begin with? Is this just the government attempting to herd the population and keep us all from assuming martial law? Everything is speculation at this point. Our tumors and cancers could simply be associated with our existing genetic code, or because of our genetic code we&#8217;re predisposed to a higher vulnerability of radiation.</p>
<p>Biology professor <a href="http://www.voodish.co.uk/articles/is-wi-fi-harmful-to-health/#comment-143" target="_blank">Henry Lai</a> of Washington State University points out that throughout the two to three thousand studies having been conducted in the past 30 years only about half show any adverse effects while the other half show no effects at all. Wi-Fi connections have been around for that long? Absolutely. Radio waves and other non-ionising radiations have been in existence for a little more than a century. Think two-way radios, televisions, household radio story machines, etc.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2009/09/cellphone-radiation/" target="_blank">Olga Naidenko</a>, senior scientist at EWG, in conducting her own report states current standards reveal an increased risk of developing brain tumors over long-term use. Long-term, in her statement, consists of 10 years. Since we&#8217;re so new to this technology we, as a whole, won&#8217;t see any real proof that wireless radiation poses a veritable threat until a few more years down the line when the proposed effects of radiation poisoning from wireless machines begin to show up in epic numbers around hospitals worldwide.</p>
<p>We&#8217;re like cattle in that we&#8217;re easily frightened, falling into mass hysteria over the miseducation of a few charged particles floating around us. I found <a href="http://www.voodish.co.uk/articles/is-wi-fi-harmful-to-health/#comment-143" target="_blank">this comment</a> on a Wales-based website urging everyone to lead a healthier life, to exercise regularly so that the human body can strengthen its immune system and do what it was built to do naturally. He accomplishes this in an arguably effective way and ties his opinion with a theory we both share:</p>
<div style="padding-left:2.5em;padding-right:2.5em;">People throw the term radiation around like we are talking about a nuclear reactor core or something similar. Wi-Fi uses a band of the electromagnetic spectrum that has approximately 1 million times less energy per photon than light “radiation” does. In these frequency bands it is strongly absorbed by water which humans are more than half composed of—all this does is warm up tissue—it can not [sic] damage DNA because it can not [sic] break chemical bonds readily. If you really want to avoid cancer, exercise, eat right, and stay away from smoking and drinking <strong>and above all open a damn book once in a while.</strong> This fear-mongering compounded by ignorance has got to stop.</div>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>Wi-Fi technology is still relatively new to the world&#8217;s population and this debate and its accompanying research is ongoing. All research, no matter how inconclusive, inherently dictates that the mass advantages outweigh a few of us dying from cancer. Cancer is now mostly treatable. The worry still lingers over the dangers of children being exposed to radiation, it&#8217;s our responsibility as adults and humans to watch over the well-being of children and the integrity of their minds. In the end, technology is racing around us, <a href="http://www.edge.org/3rd_culture/arthur09/arthur09_index.html" target="_blank">mutating and evolving</a>, and it will continue in its own path allowing us its utilization. The least we can do is take responsibility for our own lives, to keep well informed and act accordingly; to <em>try</em> and lead a healthy life.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Ça y est. Fini pour moi le temps passé dans les avions à rattraper mes retards en cinéma, en lecture]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Ça y est. Fini pour moi le temps passé dans les avions à rattraper mes retards en cinéma, en lecture ou à lier connaissance avec mes voisins, Air Canada offre maintenant la connection Wi-fi sur certains de ses vols, surtout ceux reliant Toronto et Montréal à Los Angeles.</p>
<p>Première société canadienne à offrir ce service, Air Canada va ainsi faire plusieurs heureux, dont moi. S&#8217;il est vrai que j&#8217;aime bien lire, papoter ou regarder les films, je ne compte plus le nombre de fois où j&#8217;aurais bien aimé faire des recherches pour mes articles, poster un blogue, donner des nouvelles sur Facebook, suivre les dernières nouvelles sur Tweeter, lire mon journal en ligne ou simplement répondre à mes courriels. Ce sera désormais possible.</p>
<p>Pour le moment, il ne s&#8217;agit que d&#8217;un test qui se poursuivra jusqu&#8217;au 29 janvier 2010. La décision finale suivra ensuite. Il en coûtera, pour le moment,  9,95 $ US par vol pour y  accéder  à l&#8217;aide de notre propre ordinateur portable doté de la technologie Wi-Fi,  ou 7,95 $ US à l&#8217;aide d&#8217;un  dispositif électronique personnel.</p>
<p>Reste à espérer que ce prix n&#8217;enflera pas selon la durée du vol. Déjà qu&#8217;il faut payer pour les écouteurs, l&#8217;oreiller, les draps et les repas (pourrait-on changer de traiteur?).  Tant qu&#8217;à formuler des souhaits, je rêve que l&#8217;aéroport  de Montréal adopte la politique de nombreux aéroports dans le monde (dont celui de Vancouver) et offre aussi l&#8217;internet gratuit (surtout pour les courtes escales).</p>

<description><![CDATA[When Apple announced video capability in the iPod Nano and a video camcorder in the iPhone 3Gs, Cisc]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://addicts4gadgets.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/new-slip-minohd_1-300x300.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-154" title="new-slip-minohd_1-300x300" src="http://addicts4gadgets.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/new-slip-minohd_1-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>When Apple announced video capability in the iPod Nano and a video camcorder in the iPhone 3Gs, Cisco saw a dramatic increase in YouTube video uploads. And as such, they saw the handwriting on the wall. Sure, The Flip has the edge with HD, but to have an all in one solution with the iPhone has forced Cisco, the new owners of Flip Video, to get working on a response. And to that end, they’ve announced that the next model of the phenominally successful Flip Video Pocket Camcorders will come with built in WiFi. But that’s not all.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>In addition to being able to transfer video wirelessly, new Flip models will also have double the onboard memory (although they should just bite the bullet and put in an SD card already) a larger screen which will slide up to reveal control buttons, and have the capability to not only upload to YouTube, but also direct Facebook uploads via the wireless connection.</p>
<p>The first model to get the WiFi overhaul will probably be the MinoHD line and rumor has it we’ll see an actual mockup of it at CES this January.</p>
<p>You know, I rather like a feature war between Cisco and Apple brewing. It only means that the consumer will be the ultimate winners. Who knows, maybe we’ll see a new iPhone with HD capability …</p>

<description><![CDATA[Il famigerato decreto Pisanu è in scadenza al 31 dicembre 2009. Per chi lo avesse rimosso dalla memo]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://lucioscarpa.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/wi-fi-zone_logo.gif"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-356" title="Wi-Fi ZONE_Logo" src="http://lucioscarpa.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/wi-fi-zone_logo.gif?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="256" /></a>Il famigerato decreto Pisanu è in scadenza al 31 dicembre 2009.</p>
<p>Per chi lo avesse rimosso dalla memoria ricordiamo che il decreto impone la registrazione e conservazione di &#8220;chi accede ai servizi telefonici e telematici offerti, prima dell&#8217;accesso stesso o dell&#8217;offerta di credenziali di accesso, acquisendo i dati anagrafici riportati su un documento di identità, nonché il tipo, il numero e la riproduzione del documento presentato dall&#8217;utente&#8221;.</p>
<p>Tutto questo è stato fatto con la scusa della lotta al terrorismo, ma l’efficacia dal punto di vista della sicurezza non è mai stata provata, mentre è assolutamente provato che l&#8217;Italia è l&#8217;unico paese ad essersi dotato di misure così restrittive.<!--more--></p>
<p>Come è provato che questa misura ha effetti disastrosi sullo sviluppo di progetti di connettività pubblica, con grande danno alle aree di paese più disagiate, e condanna l&#8217;Italia ad essere uno dei paesi con meno hot spot al mondo. Sicuramente il Governo considera positivo che gli accessi a internet e all&#8217;informazione siano limitati, ma noi cittadini non possiamo tollerarlo.</p>
<p>Gli anni scorsi questa misura restrittiva è stato prorogato in &#8220;silenzio&#8221; con i cosiddetti decreti milleproroghe di fine anno, e ha suscitato sempre forti proteste a fatto avvenuto.</p>
<p>Quest&#8217;anno prendiamoci in anticipo e iniziamo a farci sentire adesso per impedire che venga prorogato nuovamente.<br />
Scriviamo tutti al Ministro degli Interni per intimargli di non prorogare questa misura restrittiva!<br />

<p>Well folks, the day has come. I bought a Playstation 3 and it was a snap decision. This particular phenomenon seems to happen to me with every generation of consoles, it&#8217;s not that I&#8217;m ever loyal or a fanboy to one side, I just weight out my options initially when new consoles first come out on the market. I buy one console (this time the Xbox 360) a bit after its release, then years later I usually buy the rival in order to complete all my gaming needs. I did the same thing with the Sega Dreamcast and PS2. The bee stings and eventually gets to me though. I end up coming to realize all the great games I have to play exclusively on the PS3 such as Metal Gear Solid 4 and Demon&#8217;s Souls, I&#8217;ve been dying to play both ever since they were released. I always feel weird by the idea of owning two consoles that are essentially the same. In general, I like going to one place for all my gaming needs and overall, the Xbox 360 has provided quite an experience tailored to most of my needs. In the end it&#8217;s never enough, as the free out of the box WI-FI and HDMI support is something that made me just take the plunge. It&#8217;s that time of year again, the winter is coming and more gaming ensues. </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://thisvtlife.wordpress.com/about">by Kelly Salasin</a></p>
<p><strong>If I had a dollar</strong> for every time somebody asked me,</p>
<blockquote>
<h3><em>But how do you <a href="http://kellysalasin.wordpress.com/about-kelly">blog</a> (or </em><a href="http://twitter.com/kellysalasin">twitter</a>, or facebook&#8230;<em>) with dial up?</em></h3>
</blockquote>
<p>I could pay off the telephone company and finally get the high speed they&#8217;ve been promising to these backroads of Vermont.</p>
<p><strong>But until then</strong>, <strong>I&#8217;d like to share what I&#8217;ve learned about remaining sane while relying on the <em>ever-so-slow</em> dial-up connection:</strong></p>
<h3>#1 <strong>Don&#8217;t use dial up~</strong></h3>
<p>Save activities that demand high speed  internet for your weekly visit to the wired cafe (<em>or the school parking lot where many of my neighbors can be found on their laptops</em>.)  If you don&#8217;t have your own laptop, visit the library.  To maximize your time in the &#8220;<em>connected</em>&#8221; world, keep a folder (virtual or paper) with all of your wi fi needs as they arise in the moment.</p>
<h3><strong>#2  Relish in the convenience of your own home~</strong></h3>
<p>Realize that you don&#8217;t have to get dressed, comb your hair or buy a really expensive coffee when you work from home.  When a page is loading, go shuffle off to your own kitchen in your favorite sweatshirt to make that free cup of jo.</p>
<h3><strong>#3  Develop the habit of regular email communication~</strong></h3>
<p>If your friends and business folks are accustomed to contacting you by email, they won&#8217;t expect to reach you via phone<strong>&#8211;</strong>and thus won&#8217;t complain that your line is always busy. (On the upside, you&#8217;ll never interrupted by a phone call when you&#8217;re working on line.)<strong> </strong></p>
<h3><strong>#4  Multi-task~</strong></h3>
<p>Like I mentioned above, when a page is loading, go do something else: <em>make some lunch, hang up the laundry, put the laundry away, file your nails, clean your desk</em>&#8211;anything that will distract you from the frustration of waiting.</p>
<h3><strong>#5  Multi-task some more~</strong></h3>
<p>Work with several &#8220;pages&#8221; at once so that while one is loading you can read or write on another, thereby maximizing your productivity if your laundry is already done and someone else made your lunch.  <em>Special note</em>: Resist the urge to repeatedly click a page that won&#8217;t open.  Why? Because then you will be forced to wait for mutiple loadings of the same page without being able to do anything.  (<em>Guess how I&#8217;ve learned this one, over and over again!</em>)</p>
<h3><strong>#6  Surrender to Dial-Up as a Spiritual Practice~</strong></h3>
<p>Don&#8217;t expect anything else.  It is what it is.  If you want the conveniences of the world, move back to civilization.  Allow the &#8220;waiting&#8221; to be an exercise of patience.  Practice your breathing.  Do some eye exercises.  Shake out your hands. Be here now while you watch the spinning wheel.  Instead of cursing it,  allow its rainbow colors to balance your chakras.  (<em>If all else fails, time to take a break!</em>)</p>
<h3>7.  <strong>Have fun!</strong></h3>
<p>If you&#8217;re not having fun, <em>what&#8217;s the point</em>?  This is your life, and the only one you get.  Find another way to meet your internet needs.  Share an office space downtown.  Make friends with someone who has high speed and sit in her driveway. <strong> Be creative!</strong> <strong>Remember why you live where</strong> <strong>you do.</strong> <strong>Take a walk and find that place of gratitude for the &#8220;disconnected&#8221; life&#8230; and breathe&#8230; until that day that they FINALLY find a way to connect us all to highspeed.</strong></p>
<h3><strong>#8-21? </strong>Did I miss anything?<strong> </strong></h3>
<p><strong>Do tell </strong>if you have dial-up sanity measures of your own to share (or let me know which ones of mine work best for you.<strong>)<br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong>The bold and daring, <a href="http://thisvtlife.wordpress.com/about">Kelly Salasin</a>, authors 6 blogs from the backroads of Vermont where her legendary dial-up endurance has found its way into her <a href="http://thisvtlife.wordpress.com/2009/11/10/70/">poetry</a>.<br />

<p>It&#8217;s been nearly three full years since we&#8217;ve heard a peep from <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/09/malata-pc-68001-personal-computer/">Malata</a>, but the outfit has chosen an opportune time to reemerge into the spotlight. The R108T netbook is one of the convertible variety, boasting a swiveling 10-inch touchscreen (similar to ASUS&#8217; <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/asus-eee-pc-t91-and-t101h-touchscreen-tablet-hands-on/">Eee PC T91</a>) and Windows 7 to boot. Internally, things get a lot more boring &#8212; there&#8217;s a 1.6GHz Atom N270 processor, 1GB of DDR2 RAM, a 160GB hard drive, 1.3 megapixel camera, WiFi, Ethernet, a pair of USB sockets, VGA output and a 3-in-1 card reader. We&#8217;re told that the asking price on this one will hover around $439, though there&#8217;s no clear indication that it&#8217;ll ever head stateside.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Che gli <a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italiani">Italiani</a> siano un popolo di santi, poeti e navigatori è un luogo comune riconosciutoci da tutto il mondo.</p>
<p>Che siamo il paese con la più alta diffusione di <a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telefono_cellulare">cellulari</a> in <a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unione_europea">UE</a> è noto anche a noi stessi <a href="http://notebookitalia.it/italia-ultima-per-banda-larga-ma-prima-per-cellulari-6221.html">&#8230;</a></p>
<p>La nostra teledipendenza è tale da rivestire un ruolo di grande importanza politica (guardate chi sta al governo) e sociale (non commento per motivi di pubblica decenza) oltre che essere ammantata da <a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ugo_Fantozzi">fantozziana</a> memoria &#8230;</p>
<p><em>&#8221; Sabato 18, alle ore 20:25, in telecronaca diretta da Wembley, Inghilterra-Italia, valevole per la qualificazione della Coppa del Mondo. Fantozzi aveva un programma formidabile : calze, mutande, vestaglione di flanella, tavolinetto di fronte al televisore, frittatona di cipolle per la quale andava pazzo, familiare di Peroni gelata, tifo indiavolato e rutto libero ! &#8220;</em></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://addicts4gadgets.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/digitalrise-p729.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-101" title="digitalrise-p729" src="http://addicts4gadgets.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/digitalrise-p729.jpg" alt="" width="234" height="234" /></a></p>
<p>The DigitalRise PC-729 tablet offers a refreshing look at the tablet market, since it comes with a 7&#8243; touchscreen display, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, all powered by an ARM9 processor. One major drawback would be its 128MB RAM which by today&#8217;s standards, doesn&#8217;t seem to cut the mustard any more, while its 7&#8243; touchscreen display has a relatively low resolution of just 480 x 272 pixels. Would those apparent setbacks cause you to fork out $355 for the DigitalRise PC-729?</p>
