Apple iPhone 5

after much buzz and anticipation, the Apple iPhone 5 is finally here and it turns out to be what you have seen flying around in recent months. though sporting an uncanny resemblance to its predecessor but it is now 18 percent tinnier, 20 percent lighter, and most importantly (or not) it now sports a taller 4.1-inch Retina display which allows for yet another row…

Nokia Lumia 820

Nokia Lumia 820, also a Windows Phone 8. we are guilty of ignoring it and honestly, we didn’t give it much thought until we took a closer look at the press release and the attached images. it was only then that it strikes us that the Lumia 820 is in fact a pretty attractive phone. though positioned as a mid-range smartphone, the 820 is certainly not a strip down version…

RED EPIC-M Monochrome

some manufacturer don’t just name their products for the sake of naming. in fact, some folks are dead serious about what their products are capable of, and thus they named their products with uber-confident model names. one such product is the RED EPIC-M. we read about this epic camera more than a year ago and it is back in all its monochrome glory…

The House of Marley Get Up Stand Up

never mind the fact that the good old Apple 30-pin might be history in a matter of less than a day because as some believed, if a smaller dock connector is presented, an adapter will follow suit thus allowing the rest of the world to continue using products that are designed for the ‘old’ 30-pin connector. speaking of which, if you are confident that the adapter…

Western Digital My Passport Edge

we observed two things about today’s laptops: one, storage is never enough, and two, regardless whether Mac or PC, most of them look pretty damn nice. with that two observations in mind, an external storage is inevitable and also, it has to be as sleek as the laptop that we1 are using, if not better. coincidentally, those are two things that the Western…

Pentax K-5 II & K-5 IIs DSLR Cameras

what do with a already great product? simple, take its formula for success and make it even better. that’s exactly what Pentax has done with its new flagship DSLR, Pentax K-5 II and K-5 IIs DSLR Cameras. announced ahead of the biannual Photokina (Cologne, September 18 – 23, 2012), the duo are follow-ups to the original K-5 DSLR. both cameras are…

Sony X Headphones

with the new Sony MDR-XB Headphones, we think we have take back our words about how Sony’s product, headphones in particular, always take on the straight-face, serious design. the latest cans, dubbed the Sony X Headphones, announced is the result of the collaboration between Sony and Syco Entertainment, a global joint venture between…

Impossible Instant Lab

while we embrace the age of digital imaging, we’d miss the joy of instant print imaging even though both the new and old technology offers the same level of instant gratification. perhaps, it was the artsy, lo-fi image of the instant print images that captures us or perhaps, it was the anticipation, albeit a very short one, of seeing the photo develops right in your…

Pentax Q10 Digital Camera

we are not particularly fond of huge DSLR and that precisely we love the middle ground: a camera that straddles between the cumbersome DSLR and the dumber point-and-shoot cameras. good for us and all like-minded folks, more and more such in-between shooters are surfacing and the Pentax Q10 Digital Camera, a follow-up to the original…

Philips Original Radio

regardless of how huge is your digital music collection or how superb is the iTunes DJ in creating the ‘right’ mix of music, there is nothing like tuning into the good’ol radio stations – especially if you have a radio as inviting as the Philips Original Radio. judging from the visuals, it is definitely a radio that beckons to be touched and used. drawing its inspiration from…
