Sitting idle, thinking what to do…I decided on making another useless post.

My friend on a recent visit to HongKong, got me this Ultra-Slim Apple iPhone Cover Case or rather an iPhone Pouch! It’s velvet i guess… and it has embossed “iPhone” written over it. Totally black and it looks pretty cool.

I thought it was a gift. It in fact is a gift. The only issue was that i had to pay for this gift!! Damn!

iPhone Pouch

Canon IXY Digital 25 IS a.k.a Canon Powershot SD770 IS. I recently purchased this small yet powerful digital camera from a Canon Dealer in Hong Kong. This 10 megapixel devil is really very very small, seriously.

Let’s see some features that i now know about. Canon IXY Digital 25 IS, wherein IS stands for Image Stabilization is a 10megapixel camera and supports 3x optical zoom. It has a small 2.5inch LCD Display and has a slim and a stylish design. The camera comes under the category of Ultra Compact digital camera. Sounds nice

I checked the resolution today. It’s pretty big with max resolution at 3648×2736 and min at usual 640×480. What’s most amazing feature of this camera is it’s boot time. I pressed on/off button and Tadaaaaannn…. What did it take? Almost 1 second as i can recall. It’s good! Anyways…other good feature is that this camera has this Face Detection Technology - well something that shows squares on faces specially while you are taking group pics, etc. The main purpose is to focus more on face of the person rather than that much lighted area behind you! And that reminds me of the red eye correction. So no more red eyed vampires in my pics!

Also what i need is the motion detection sensor. I clicked some pics of the fast moving cars, just for the same reson and this sensor works pretty well so far! And lastly and most importantly, Canon IXY Digital 25 IS has a DIGIC III Processor. It provides lightning quick responses, superb image quality and advanced noise reduction. Humm. I don’t know how much noise it used to make, but can’t hear any on this machine! And yes!!! It does shoot movie as well. Though not a huge quality work in there but still pretty good! High Senstivity (ISO 1600) and the battery needs charging after 300+ shots. Can’t recall. Well that’s the most important features you should know about if you are looking forward to buy this camera.

This is how Canon IXY Digital 25 IS looks!

One more thing though. The camera comes with 32 MB card, as i recall. Believe me, that’s useless. Throw that away and get a 8GB card for your camera. Get Kingston 8GB SDHC Class 4 memory card and you should do fine. I can take 3000 pics without worrying about any space.

Hope you liked my “not so good” review on Canon IXY Digital 25 IS 

Since new year, i haven’t been blogging really. Usually i would have said that i am getting a little lazier. But not this time. A week back, i bought a new Apple iPhone. And yes, it’s really cool. All this time, i was busy playing and exploring this cool gadget. It is truly an amazing mobile phone.

iPhone, truly deserves the title that it was given. “Revolution Of the decade”. Or probably it was revolution of the century. I really don’t remember.

I am still getting used to this phone. But there are lot of features which truly amazes me. I really like the zoom in function on images. The ringtones, the videos, the iPod, calling features, etc…everything is really awesome. Yes i truly wished that Apple had put in some more power to speakers. The ringtone volume does not impress me at all. But then we can’t expect having everything in a phone. They have already added to many features in it.

I like you tube videos for a change. For unknown reason, the videos are very clear, unlike the videos as we see via our PC and laptops. The stocks, the weather and the maps, all are pretty good. I can even see Indian stocks in there. So another reason for me to be impressed. Other than that, i think having Gmail in my phone comforts me.

You know what…I can go on and on talking about the features that i see in this phone. But thing is that i am going to stay here. And this iPhone is going to stay here as well. So i can continue to talk about it till i explore it completely.

Meanwhile, enjoy some images of iPhone, that were taken by me, via my previous cell phone, that was Sony Ericsson s500i. Enjoy and God Bless!

Do share your views on this amazing gadget. And Zunes!!….keep out of this post!

Apple has done something that will surely give iPhone abusers a lot to think about. Apple is no longer selling iPhone for cash or anywhere in stores. They say they tried that and they are done with it. From today onwards, they will only accept credit or debit cards.

Okay, i guess this will be a sad news to people who used to quickly resell iPhones to make profits. Since few weeks, resellers have had a pretty good time. They were in brisk business, specially on eBay, where you can often see thousand or more iPhones for the grab. And yes, they never sold an iPhone less than $399, which is the usual Apple iPhone’s price. So yes, they will be hit hard by Apple’s new trick! Since, credit sales will make it damn easier for Apple to track down the bulk buyers and iPhone abusers.

Good work Apple!
