Apple iPad

Apple's newest device is the most frequently discussed topic around the gadget blog, forums and the whole web. I did not see the device personally but have read reviews, blogs and articles about it. Thus, it is completely fair enough to show the readers what are my thoughts on this luxury.


Apple iPad features a larger screen 9.7″ display at 1024×768 pixels. A 16Gb to 64GB Flash Drive (prices vary according to storage size). A powerful 1GHz Apple A4 Chip (for better browsing and gaming experience). A WiFi 802.11n. A Bluetooth. A 3G and a 10 hours battery life. The iPad can run all iPhone applications out of the box. But, running it on full screen will be pixelated due to upscaling.

What's missing is a built in camera (I guess there will be a hardware add-on for this soon) No Flash support (so no YouTube and Flash videos) and NO MULTITASKING (what the.. c'mon it's already 2010). I know Apple can add/upgrade features later through a firmware update. (but why not include this feature during the release)

To me the iPad is a half-baked device as it lacks software and functionality. The idea maybe great but, there is no surprise here as it just looks like a larger and beefed-up iPod Touch.

UPDATE: iPad will be available in the US at $499 on April 3, 2010. With its high price I just hope that I can get my hands on this thing someday.

MAG

Massive Action Game (MAG) is an online multiplayer-only first person shooter game exclusive to the Playstation 3. This game is chaotically fun that it can accomodate 64 up to 256 players on a single map.


It's already out in the market and the only thing that is holding me back from purchasing is that it is quite expensive wherein it lacks single player mode. However, this is a must buy for FPS fans out there.

White Knight Chronicles

A JRPG PS3 exclusive game developed by Level5 and published by Sony. This was released in Japan last December 25, 2008 and will be releasing an International edition this coming February 2, 2010. This is so interesting that I got to rank it up on my PS3 game wishlist this 2010.

Watch out for more information when I get my hands on this game.

It only does EVERYTHING

Sony's new campaign for the Sony PlayStation 3 and the new tagline is: "It only does everything".

At $299 or about 14,000 Philippine peso think again!

With the release of their smaller, cheaper but improved version of their console. There's no reason why you shouldn't grab one. It's totally a steal, as the console can do quite a lot.

Weird thing is... It just can't play PS2 games.
