First Windows Phone Mango From Fujitsu-Toshiba

The first Windows Phone Mango was announced in Japan. The Fujitsu-Toshiba IS12T phone is really impressive, see it's underwater! It's a plus for countries with lots of rainfall all year long!
The camera is 13.2 megapixel, wow! I'm still looking for the full detailed specs so stick around.



I just hate the buttons, I like the capacitive buttons of HTC.

Windows Phone Mango: Is it worth waiting?

For Windows fans and Windows Phone lovers, we are all waiting for this update of Windows Phone 7, codename --  Mango. If you are following the news, they said that the update will be available this fall so thats around September or E3, I'm keeping my fingers crossed. One factor that will help me decide to get a Windows Phone 7 is if they will put a front facing camera. As we will know, most smart phones in the market has a front face camera. I hope Microsoft will not ignore this feature, most especially, LG and HTC has 3D smart phones...and that's the future of mobile phones.

Here are some cool Windows Phone Mango cool features which for me... is worth waiting for.

Windows Phone Mango

I'm so excited about this phone. I want to get one.
Hope Microsoft will release this thing this year!

iTunes 10.2.1 The iPhone cannot be synced. The device timed out.

Another problem arises on my iTunes when I'm trying to sync it with my iPhone. The error "The iPhone cannot be synced. The device timed out." shows up everytime the iTunes says Finishing Sync.

Workaround:

1. Connect your USB data cable  to the USB ports at the back of your PC. (assuming you have a desktop PC)
2. If you are using a laptop, connect it directly to your machine (do not use any USB hub, unless its a powered USB hub)

I think this is something about the power part of your USB port and the USB data cable if you are using a USB hub.
This is the best workaround I get. It helped me sync my iPhone.

iTunes 10.2.1 Freezing in Windows 7 64-bit

After I downloaded the iTunes 10.2.1 in my Windows 7 and did a jailbreak on iOS 4.2.1, iTunes keeps freezing everytime I try to sync my iPhone. Tried everything but it keeps doing the same thing. Finally I came up with this workaround and I successfully sync my iPhone but sometimes it is still freezing but at least I have my music and apps back on my iPhone.

So this is what I have tried:

1. Connect your iPhone on your PC  (if it automatically open iTunes, just close it)
2. Go to Device Manager
3. Look for Universal Serial Bus Controllers
4. Look for Apple Mobile Device USB Driver, right click over it and hit Uninstall
5. Disconnect and reconnect your iPhone (it should automatically reinstall the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver)
6. Right click over Apple Mobile Device USB Driver and choose Properties. The driver date should be 2/10/2011 and driver version is 6.0.9999.55

This might work for you. Anyway, I read that theres a lot of issues actually the same issue with iTunes 10.2.1 in OSX or MAC users. So I guess it's an Apple issue.

Anyway, hope this help. Just leave comments if you want.

Update 1:

Try this, this helped a lot for me:

1. Right click over your iTunes icon on your desktop
2. Go to Properties
3. Go to Compatibility tab
4. In Compatibility mode, set it to Windows Vista (no service packs, ok!)

Update 2:

If you are getting this error "The iPhone cannot be synced. The device timeout." while syncing you may want to read my post here.

Update 3:

Download the new iTunes.

Mobile Phone Radiation Guide

US agency publishes radiation ranking for top brands including Motorola, Blackberry and Apple iPhone
A US environmental group has published a guide to radiation levels from mobile phones.
Motorola, T-Mobile and Blackberry handsets were ranked among the ten worst phones in terms of radiation exposure.
Although all the phones were below current international limits, the Environmental Working Group (EWG) said that until more is known about cell phone radiation, consumers should try to buy phones with the lowest levels of emissions.

GeoHot Needs Help Against Sony

I don't have a PS game console because I'm not a fan of game consoles. I'm into PC gaming since I built my 2nd gaming PC 2 years ago.

But I will doing my part on spreading a good cause on this GeoHot versus Sony thing. GeoHot is responsible for homebrews, jailbreaks and unlocking PS and iPhone.

I feel you George so here's my part.

GeoHot is asking for your donations to win his battle over Sony. I guess he deserve some help.

GeoHot:

Media, I need your help. This is the first time I have ever asked. Please, if you support this cause, help me out and spread the word.

I want, by the time this goes to trial, to have Sony facing some of the hardest hitting lawyers in the business.

Together, we can help fix the system
Donations here are for legal defense ONLY
I checked with my lawyers before setting this up
If you have another substantial way to donate aside from money, let me know

No Sony PS4 Yet

It appears to be that there will be no PS4 or PS-whatever-you-call-it till 2016 (maybe).Sony Computer Entertainment CEO Kaz Hirai mentioned:

“Every year, we reveal and release new features,” says Hirai indicating that the PS3 still hasn’t reached its full potential. “That’s why, we’re not deliberating on a PS4 or next generation machine, whatever you call it.”

PS3 came out last 2006 and they said that it will have a lifespan of 10 years and right now it has different models.

So I guess we will still see the new PlayStation on 2016 if the world will not end on 2012.

HTPC or MMP?

I am torn between these two things, which one should I get? a HTPC or MMP?

Btw, a HTPC or home theater personal computer is a media center computer running in your living room while MMP or multi media player are small devices which allows to play music and video. A good mmp will allow you do small things which a htpc can do. Like Popcorn Hour A200, Xtreamer Pro and so on..
