30th December came and go in a flash. It was one of the biggest gathering of bloggers 24seven has hosted since its birth in Dec 2008. Yes, technically speaking, that party could also be seen as to mark the first year anniversary for 24seven. Happy Birthday 24seven! LOL!

The door bitches of that night. Molemole, me and Eevon.

Its been long since I tried stay disconnected from my connected life. And for the next 4 days, I am going to try my best to stay as far away as possible from my connected life. Pray hard there’s no Wifi in the hotel so that I will not be able to have the urge to whip out my MBP and start checking and replying to emails.

I hope to also take this opportunity to plan for the future ahead. I want to start my 28th year with a big bang! Yap! Will be 28th in a couple of weeks time! Old already!! 2 more years and I’ll hit my next big 0!

I’ve got a lot of backlog to post but all will have to wait till I’m back! For now, I’ve got a video to share… see how clear the videos are on AMOLED! Beau-ti-ful!

Check out this Jet! Video taken with Canon IXUS 110IS. Am liking the HD video recording and its compact size! Bringing it with me for my trip! Foresee taking more videos than photos over the next four days!

Adios! for now. Be back on Friday!

It’s PC SHOW weekend! And I know how it feels to be squeezing in the crowd and itching to buy something home even when you’re not planning to. So today, I’m going to have a compiled release for Claud talks Gadgets aka Claud’s PC Show guide! I am going to tell you what I’d been using and itching to get and why you should look out for these gadgets too at PC Show 2009!

So what have I got in store for this issue of Claud talks Gadgets?

• A cool MP3 player
• Latest TVs
• Get a second screen for your lappy!
• A bad ass but very portable DSLR
• Many phones!
• And new macbook pro + iPhone 3GS

Let’s find out… keep scrolling after the fold.

Having attended and got first hand try on so many mobile phones, I’m soooo stuck! Its NEVER going to be easy for me to get a new phone ever! So I’ve decided to create my own mobile phone!

This is what my phone will look like…

Can you recognised which parts come from which model? Yes, its a mashed up! Let me explain more about my ideal mobile phone…

Currently I’m owning the Samsung Innov8, which I’m loving for its camera and audio experience. But the flash on the Innov8 would have been better if it was Xeon flash. So I’d edited it with the Sony Ericsson C905 flash. However, its not optimised enough for content consumption. Having tried the HTC Touch HD for a month now, I’m really loving how big the screen is and the clarity of it. Than there’s the Nokia E63 which I just tried, the QWERTY keyboard is one that I love. And the email features too. But the screen is just not optimised for web browsing. Than!! The iphone interface! This I don’t need to elaborate I guess.

So in short, my ideal phone will look something like the above. I wonder if anyone would really have something like that soon? I think not.

So what’s YOUR ideal phone? Do a mashup and share it! Leave a link so I can go check it out!

P/s: Why am I calling it my ideal phone for April 09? Cos there’s always better features and better phones coming out! Since its my ideal phone, I get to decide how it looks or works anytime I like right? =P

Right… alighting from the train now.

Put Armani and Samsung together and you get this…

Samsung M7500

Slim sexy white (or black) Emporio Armani phone with flashing luminous light that’s great for clubs and the dance floor. The side with the branding is where the lights illuminate. There’s green, blue and red.

Not quite the type of phone I would use. But well, I’m sure there are a market for such fashionable and head-turning phone. Especially with this sexy logo of GA at the back!

The soft-to-the-touch, rubber-like feel and texture which was supposed to give it a more senses touch, to my bf, it made it feel almost like a toy. (What an expensive and branded toy!)

If you’re into the looks, branding and touch of phones, than this Emporio Armani phone is for you. The keypad is flat but feels silky when touched. Perhaps the best feature of this phone imo is the touch of the center button. Don’t ask me why, but I just can’t stop feeling it! *hmmm*

What’s an entertainment phone with no multimedia control buttons? These aren’t missing from this slim phone. On the right side of the phone, you can find these…

The Music Hotkeys

More information about the phone from the official website…

Specially designed with unique EA logo and fonts, the deep black graphic user interface employs premium 2.2-inch 256K advance AMOLED display technology to offer pure visual delight. Go beyond conventional LCD-based GUI, for blacks that are blacker, whites that are whiter and razor-sharp contrasts that are absolutely stunning.

One feature to highlight is the music recognition (which I also witnessed similar feature on the HTC Dream phone at the Android launch)

Advanced music recognition feature lets you instantly identify any song, anywhere. Simply hit record for a few seconds, send your recorded clip to the SHAZAM server and voila! Within seconds you’re provided with the artist and title of the song, and a link that connects you directly to an online music store.

This phone comes in very nice packaging of course!

This phone can be found at Samsung.
