			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://aczafra.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/iphone2.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-661" title="iphone2" src="http://aczafra.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/iphone2-300x153.png" alt="" width="300" height="153" align="left" /></a>Finally, after several days of fun-filled hype and buzz, the WWDC has ended. Apple&#8217;s Steve Jobs and the rest of his crew went hope happy as they finally unveiled the second coming of their famous TOY - the iPhone2, or iPhone 3G however you may want to call it - it&#8217;s the APPLE iPhone. The uber cool mobile phone which have eluded the Philippins mobile phone market (except for some underground distribution deals, i.e. kababayans, black markets etc.). Will it ever reached the Philippine soil? Yugatech says yes!<span id="more-660"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://yugatech.com">Yugatech</a> spoke with some Globe representatives who confirmed that the <a href="http://www.apple.com/iphone/">iPhone2</a> may either come to the Philippines as early as July or as late as September. Are you excited? Will you get one for you? What if you know that it retails for $199 in the U.S.? Almost half as the price of original iPhone. And what will you get for a dirt cheap mobile phone such as the iPhone2?</p>
<ul>
<li>3G capability</li>
<li>touchscreen features</li>
<li>GPS (will not probably work in the Philippines)</li>
<li>2mp camera</li>
<li>and most importantly - a mobile phone bearing THE APPLE LOGO!</li>
</ul>
<p>Actually, the last part is the most important feature as all the other features that the iPhone2 touts are nothing special anymore. But the fact still remains that even with far inferior features as other more advanced smartphones, nothing beats the fact that it has the Apple logo.</p>
<p>The question now is, how is Globe going to market the iPhone2 in the Philippine market? Yuga predicts that it will probability tied up with Globe&#8217;s Visibility thingie. But given the prestige of the iPhone2 I think Globe will most likely tie it up with it&#8217;s most expensive Post-Paid Plan plus a 2-year contract. That would give them a good ROI already.</p>
<p>Will I get one from Globe? Certainly not. So, if anyone of you are coming over from the U.S. who can buy me the iPhone2 once it comes out on July 11, I will forever take it as a big favor. I&#8217;m willing to pay extra for that.</p>

I know it&#8217;s long overdue. But it looks like the iPhone is heading to Manila. <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/12/singtel-ropes-iphone-distro-in-singapore-india-australia-and/">Engadget</a> cited this report from <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/technologyNews/idUSSFB00086420080512">Reuters</a>, announcing the launch of the iPhone in Asia. Singtel snagged the distribution rights in Singapore and hence it will also be bringing the iPhone to India via its Bharti Group, Optus for Australia, and yes GLOBE Telecom for the Philippines.<span id="more-654"></span></p>
<p>Hmm&#8230;looks like this is going to be another hit for Globe Telecoms. And considering the not so expensive price of the iPhone in the U.S. and U.K., I wonder how much it will offer the iPhone to the Philippine mobile consumer?</p>
<p>My guess around is around P30,000 ($700). The question is WHEN?</p>
<p>UPDATE: Here&#8217;s the official announcement from <a href="http://www1.globe.com.ph/feature.aspx?artid=97">Globe Telecoms site</a>.</p>

I&#8217;ve been toying around with the product sample of the Kodak EasyShare M1033 for a couple of days now, and I must say that I&#8217;m pretty impressed with the M1033&#8217;s functionality and features.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-644" title="img_0948-copy" src="http://aczafra.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/img_0948-copy-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" align="left" /></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been toying around with the product sample of the Kodak EasyShare M1033 for a couple of days now, and I must say that I&#8217;m pretty impressed with the M1033&#8217;s functionality and features. For a small camera of this size, you wouldn&#8217;t expect it to wallop some large scale features that you would commonly find in bigger cameras. But then, the M1033 proves the old adage that &#8220;small but terrible&#8221;. For the Kodak M1033 is definitely small in size, but terribly big in camera features. Read on to find out why.</p>
<p><span id="more-637"></span></p>
<p><strong>Kodak EasyShare M1033 – Amazing quality prints</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://aczafra.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/img_0952-copy.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-647" title="img_0952-copy" src="http://aczafra.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/img_0952-copy-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" align="left" /></a>If you’re into printing large sized photos, the M1033 will let you print up 30 x 40 in (70 x 102 cm) with its 10 mp CCD. This suits well when printing your photos either at home with your portable printer or having it professionally printed through Kodak’s retail photo shop.</p>
<p><strong>Kodak EasyShare M1033 – 3x optical zoom</strong></p>
<p>The M1033 goes with the standard optical zoom fare which is common among point-and-shoot cameras today. With 3x optical zoom (35 mm equivalent: 35-105 mm) the M1033 will let you get closer to subjects without reducing image quality. Plus, with a Kodak RETINAR Aspheric Lens, you’ll sure to capture crisp details of your subjects. The M1033 also boasts of 5x digital zoom which pretty much enlarges your photos effectively. And with blur reduction technology, the M1033 effectively reduces blurs caused by mobile subjects.</p>
<p><strong>Kodak EasyShare M1033 – 3.0-inch display</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://aczafra.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/img_0945-copy.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-643" title="img_0945-copy" src="http://aczafra.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/img_0945-copy-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" align="right" /></a>Considering that the M1033 is being touted as an HD camera, it’s pretty normal for Kodak to have it built with a larger screen display. And the M1033’s large 3.0-inch screen display which also serves as a viewfinder is a pleasure to look at. Although it can get pretty blurry when outside on a sunny day. The M1033’s LCD also has auto picture rotation so no matter how you took your pictures you can still view it in a right side up manner.</p>
<p><strong>Kodak EasyShare M1033 – True HD quality</strong></p>
<p>Now this is the meat of the Kodak M1033’s features as a digital camera. And I would have to give them the thumbs up on this aspect. The M1033 captures beautiful HD pictures in 16:9 format so you can practically view your pictures on an HDTV or other HD devices in all their widescreen glory. The same is true with the M1033’s video capture facility. Using MPEG-4 compression, you can capture more stunning videos. What’s more, you can print multiple frames on a 4&#215;6 in. print and even save single frames of your videos and email it to anyone. Plus, you can also mark special spots in your video with video bookmarking.</p>
<p><strong>Kodak EasyShare M1033 – Automatic setup for capturing beautiful pictures</strong></p>
<p>The Kodak M1033 utilizes two camera technology which make it easy for users to capture stunning pictures. First is the Smart Capture technology which adjusts camera settings to suit any environment. It also analyzes scene conditions and set camera settings including appropriate exposure, focus and ISO. This is geared for novice digital camera users and is a great way to start learning the intricacies of the M1033. In addition to Smart Capture, the M1033 also employs face detection technology which automatically locates focal faces and adjust the camera settings to best capture the subjects’ best angles.</p>
<p><strong>Kodak EasyShare M1033 – HDTV Dock</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://aczafra.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/img_0957-copy.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-649" title="img_0957-copy" src="http://aczafra.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/img_0957-copy-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" align="right" /></a>To complement the M1033’s HD quality photos and videos is the EasyShare HDTV Dock which comes as an optional accessory. But having used this dock, I would have to recommend that you buy it together with your M1033. Because how good is an HD camera if you can’t watch it on an HDTV display, right? And the Kodak EasyShare HDTV Dock is your intermediary between your Kodak M1033 and your HDTV and other HD devices. The Kodak EasyShare HDTV Dock is easy to set up as it is easy to use. It even comes with a remote control for an even easier control.</p>
<p><strong>Kodak EasyShare M1033 – Final Verdict, Conclusion</strong></p>
<p>This is my second time to use a Kodak EasyShare camera, the other one was V series model, and I was not too satisfied with that one. For one it lacks the vivid colors of other digital cameras such as the Canon AS models. But having learned from its flaws in earlier models of the digital cameras, Kodak has tremendously improved their cameras’ picture quality in terms of color and vividness. If you were able to use the M1033 with the correct settings for the current environment where you are shooting, you’ll definitely get high-quality picture outputs.</p>
<p>The Kodak M1033 will suit the needs of novice and advanced digital camera users. It is very easy to use and very “user-friendly”. In fact you won’t even need to read the manuals to learn to use the camera. You can take it out of the box, insert the memory card and start clicking and snapping to your heart’s the light.</p>

That mug would certainly come in handy with my favorite brew while beating some writing deadlines. The Mug comes in cobalt blue with the WordPress logo, and sells for around $20. I would love to order it from the <a href="http://shop.wordpress.net/world/mugs">WordPress shop</a> but I&#8217;m afraid it won&#8217;t reach me as well just like what happened to the red WP T-shirt I ordered which might have been lost in space until now.
