iPhone 4 vs HTC Desire HD

Long story short. I was looking to buy a new phone couple of days ago, and after extended researched I decided iPhone 4 and HTC Desire HD were the best smartphones on the market.

Lets see a short comparison between these two "monsters". HTC has bigger screen, but iPhone's screen has bigger resolution.

The operating systems are iOS4.1 (iPhone) and Android 2.2 (HTC). I really think HTC is a winner here again because Android features Flash 10 (which is not present in iPhone 4). Also, there is plenty free software for HTC. Apple has a history of charging for everything, so...

When it comes to the number of available apps, iPhone is the leader because iTunes has 250.000 apps available to download/buy, and there are only 80.000 apps available for HTC Desire HD. BUT, when it comes to free apps, HTC is the leader again, because you'll find out that 57% of the apps available for HTC Desire HD are totally free. And that's amazing!

HTC Desire HD's show is likely its Dolby Surround Sound and Dolby Mobile integration that grant you to watch movies in crystal clear quality with dazing sound.

When it comes to camera, HTC DESIRE HD wins again because it features an impressive 8-megapixel camera and dual flash, and iPhone features only a 5-megapixel camera.

Sudoku Game has a nenchanting story. "Su" stands for number in Japanese, and "Doku" relates to the individual place on the puzzle board that each number can fit into. Besides this, it implies someone who's separate—so, one way to depict the game is "Solitaire with numbers." While its name is Japanese, its ancestries are in reality European and American, and the game symbolises the best of both cultures. Contrary to several other games, Sudoku's evolution exposes it to be a true hybrid conception.

I'm a long time Sudoku fan, so I was pleased to come across this amazing app for iPad and iPhone. Sudoku Real Edition for the iPad Is not about reinventing this amazing puzzle game, it’s more or less about the feeling. When I played it for the first time it was just like actually playing Sudoku on a real book.

It features extremely detailed graphics and animations to put the iPad’s great video resolution to work. What's interesting about this version of Sudoku is that all of the important graphical elements in the game are real-life items that were photographed to supply a more naturalistic feel. Animations and sound effects have also been simulated after a real book. They aspired to absorb you even further by supplying small touches to the Sudoku game, like rather than admitting a pause screen, Sudoku Real Edition has a digital bookmark that slips into place.

new features on version: 1.3 via iTunes

- Single number annotation added
- Annotations "how-to" added
- Graphics improvements

Few weeks ago I received this amazing netbook from my cousin. He knows I'm a gadget freak, so he thought this should keep me busy for a while. Oh, man, and it did. Aspire Acer One 150 comes with preinstalled Windows Xp. I was not so pleased with XP. One of the problems is that Aspire One does not have a dvd-reader. That's no problem. I upgraded to Windows 7 using a Windows 7 iso image (on a 8gb usb stick) and MagicIso.

In order to do that, just copy your original Windows 7 DVD using any image creating software. (you can use imgburn)

Copy that image to a large USB stick. Insert it in your Aspire Acer One, mount it using Magic Iso. In the welcome screen, select install and after that select upgrade. You will lose your Win XP (no harm done there) but you'll be able to run Windows 7 with no problems. It was still not enough for me, so I decided to give Jolicloud a run.

Just go to JoliCloud website, select the installer and follow the quick steps. I recommend a minimum 8-16GB for the installation. Right now, my AAO 150 runs great with two Operating Systems: Windows 7 and JoliCloud.

You can find some prices for AOA150 and the newest versions of Aspire One on Amazon.com

I'm not convinced that this advanced touch screen technology will be implemented before or even few years after 2014 to a large scale. But it's interesting to see where technology could go in the next 10 years. I would love to brush my teeth in the morning and be able to read news or watch a video. It's every man's dream.

If someone would have posted this video 2 years ago, I'm sure there would have been even more skeptics, but with the new iPad, the technology doesn't seem that far.

The Inkless Metal Pen could easy be named the grooviest pen on this Earth. This pen deserves the name because it does not call for refills, is lasting and completely smudge-proof. That implies this original pen could be kept in complete working condition for a lifetime. The tip of the Inkless Metal Pen is a solid piece of metal. When you write, small measures of the patented alloy are actually transmitted to the page when you write. No ink - only metal. Ink is a fluid and is consequently easy to outflow, smudge, and dry out. The Inkless Metal Pen does not bear any of these troubles. Its firm metal alloy tip implies that this metal pen will never drain of ink, dry up, smear or smudge. As well, does not need a cap. A real freshness pen you merit to have.

Im sure you can find one of these on Amazon or Ebay.
