In the PH, the phone goes for PHP 13,950 which is roughly equivalent to USD $300.00.

Reminiscent of my Wing Commander days, I haven’t come across a really good space simulation game, save for the time Freelancer came out for the PC. Although it was more of a space shoot em up brought in by Microsoft, it made me miss simulator based games.

And who would have known that Plasq would quell these geeky desires. Known for their popular Comic Life and Skitch apps for OS X, they pulled this one out of the hat thus proving that they can make kick ass games as well for the iPhone and iPod touch. Pharos IV: Assault is stunning. You have but to see a brief preview of the game to appreciate it. And hey — although there’s a lite version, why not buy it for 0.99 cents?

You need to be upgraded to the latest firmware to run this though.

But seriously, Skullcandy headphones deliver the promise of being all candy around your head. I’ve heard reviews saying that in general, the headphones have very good bass and mid levels, and so-so in the highs. I found this to be true after donning the Hesh, one of the DJ-level designs. It fits anything with a 3.5mm jack so I stuck it into the iPod touch. The Hesh comes with a carrying case and an extension line as the main jack doesn’t extend for very far. Overall, the Hesh is really just candy. It delivers pretty balanced sound but if you’re more discerning with your listening experience, this isn’t the headpiece for you.

Today I attended the launch of Nokia Connect 2009 — presented here is the video demo of the E72 where we talk about the new features, the scrolling user interface, the aesthetics, and of course, the comparison with the predecessor, Nokia E71.

Overall, the E72 is a welcome upgrade from the previous year. The E71 was already a kick ass device when it was launched, and it still is to this very day. The most tempting features that may force you to get the E72 would be the inclusion of a 3.5mm headphone jack, which made debut with the E63 and the HTML email downloads, allowing you to receive more colorful and formatted email

I was able to review the unit and compare it side by side the Nokia E71. Take a look and decide for yourself, but I’d honestly suggest to wait for it!

I’ve just been handed a China made TORQUE C100, their entry level phone that has both Bluetooth and a VGA camera. But the most peculiar feature of the C100 is that the battery it uses is exactly the same as th BL-5C batts from Nokia. Interesting.

The logic behind this is simple. In the entry level market, spare parts are always in demand, and knowing that the TORQUE C100’s battery is compatible with the BL-5C makes finding accessories easier. I don’t think there’s any exclusive use clause for the battery, none I’m aware of. [source]

They’re not ashamed to show it off, but of course there’s no branding in their marketing material. This is interesting. With Nokia dominating the market with their famous BL-5C’s, why not enable some form of compatibility? This is, I believe, forward thinking! Nokia’s happy because they sell more, and TORQUE gets consumer reassurance for quality.

The TORQUE C100 targets the fast moving entry level market.
