Samsung unveils Haptic 8 megapixels

Say hello to the new SCH-W740 “Haptic 8M”, the latest in Samsung’s line of high megapixel camera phone offerings. Destined for the Korean market, the touchscreen phone sports a 3.3-inch touchscreen display with 480×800 resolution, TouchWiz user interface, GPS, Bluetooth, 3.5G HSDPA, DMB tuner and an 8 megapixel camera with auto focus and face tagging. The face tagging feature allows you to make a call and send a text message directly from your captured image. Pretty sweet! Though the phone does not appear to be headed for the US market, perhaps the specifications and the face tagging feature will be wrapped up into another phone that is headed for the US — Samsung Memoir 2 anyone? The Haptic 8M will launch soon in Korea for 900,000₩ ($645).

Japan Gets Fujitsu’s New Color eBook Reader, Priced at $1,010 USD

Fujitsu new eBook reader is easy on the eyes and hard on the wallet

Last month Amazon announced that it was taking preorders of its Kindle 2 eBook reader, the follow-up to its original eBook reader than burned up sales charts. The new reader, available for $359, came with 2 GB of memory — enough to store 1,500 books — and a 25 percent longer battery life.

Still, as impressive as the Kindle 2 is, it is easily outdone by Fujitsu’s FLEPia. FLEPia, first announced in 2007, is based on a color eBook reader concept first built at Fujitsu in 2006. Out in only a couple weeks — but only in Japan — the reader features an eye-catching 8-inch XGA screen capable of displaying 260,000 colors.

It also has Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and up to 4GB of storage via SD card to boot. Lack of expandable/swappable storage was one major complaint about the Kindle. The tablet is also only half an inch thick, runs for 40 hours on a charge, and can be commanded by either touch screen or button input.

The device features a full install of Windows CE 5.0, in addition to a standard eBook display. With the slow refresh times of E-Ink (1.8 seconds per full wipe), using the OS may be a bit impractical. Still, it adds even more to the already impressive package.

The downside — and there’s only really one — is the price. The FLEPia will break the bank at 99,750 Yen (about $1,010 US).

The unit ships across Japan on April 10. No plans to release the unit in the U.S. have been announced.

Bad Thing: Too Pricey

Good features: Wifi, Bluetooth, 4gb, 40 hours on charge

Samsung Tocco Ultra Edition

The Samsung Tocco Ultra Edition, as the S8300 would be marketed in the UK, is the style-conscious tech-geek’s dream – high built quality and black metallic frame give it a really sophisticated look to go with the long list of features. The 2.8 inch OLED capacitive touchscreen with WQVGA resolution and few apparent buttons do a good job at concealing that it is in fact a slider with a 3×9 keyboard.

My review for Sony Ericsson W580

Sony Ericsson W580

I am sorry, I haven’t post a review of my Sony Ericsson W580.

Good Things

• Amazing design at only 14 mm thickness
• Easy and confortable keypad
• 2″ 262K color TFT display with a QVGA resolution
• Light effects with different theme 
• Good quality picture with 2 megapixel camera
• Memory Stick Micro card slot and up to 2gb 
• Nice Walkman 2.0 music player with FM radio
• Bluetooth
• GPRS and EDGE
• Quart-band
• Pedometer and fitness application

Bad things

• Camera doesn’t have flash and autofocus
• Only 32MB of integrated memory  
• No notification of missed events
• Records video in the outdated QCIF (176 x 144 pixels) resolution only
• Phone won’t operate without SIM

This phone is most target to young audiences because of its design and features. I really adore the music player and FM radio. The headphones  are very nice and confortable. Sometimes, when I forget my camera, I take pictures with this phone but it is not good for the night time because it lacks of flash. 

Here is a picture taken by my camera.

Central Park

  The video quality is really poor. I wouldn’t  recommend to record. The design is slim and perfect. The battery life is not bad it last about two or three days. This phone feature bluetooth which you can conect a headset or you can receive or send files to your friends.

Panama won Latin American Idol 2008

Photo by Latin American Idol

  Panama won the 3rd season of Latin American Idol and first- runner up was  for Costa Rica. Margarita, a 17 years old girl from Los Santos became the first Latin American Idol from Panama, the last two season were from Venezuela and Guatemala Margarita did a good job since the beginning of the show. As well two more Panamanians were in this season, Manuel and Ann.  I’m very proud of her, she put the name of Panama very high. Panama did a lot of big fundraising for Margarita for example in Bailando por un sueno they raised more than 45,000 dollars plus more donations from private companies. As well the President of Panama and The first lady showed support for Margarita. Margarita won a contract with the well known record label Sony-BMG to produce her first CD and image representation from Westwood Company. In addition, she won the latest toyota car.

“When they announced that Margarita won”

I bet Panamanians at this moment are partying like crazy for this second victory. The first victory was Irving Saladino who won the first gold medal for Panama in Beijing 2008.

Good luck Margarita in your future!

Viva Panama!        

Navratri Festival (Hindu)

In front of the hindu gods

Today, I went to Navratri Festival with the International Business Club as well Nathan and Crisairy went. It was quite interesting to see the hindu culture. I can’t believe that hindu people believes more than 3 millions gods but the gods are the same person but in different forms. I’m glad I believe in Jesus because I will get crazy trying to figure out what gods to praise in every situation. Also, we had the change to try some indian food, since it was so good I ate two plates. The menu included potatoes, curry spicy vegetables, rice and indian tortilla. After we ate, we went to see the service at the temple and it was very interesting to see how they worship their gods. They praised six gods but I dont remember the name of gods, i only remember that one god is the mother of everyone, the other one the gods of luxury and the another one to praise in your obstacles in your lifes.

Happy Birthday Amigaza!

Susana, Karla, Miriam and I

Last Nite, I went to Miriam’s B-day Party with Karla and Susana. It was really fun, we ate a lot of food and we played couples fun games. Miriam was very happy to see everyone there, about 15 people came to the party. After the party, I went to someone house and their house was HUGE! I think is the biggest house I ever see in my life. I really like the house (White House Style) and especially the pool hehe. Before, I went back to dorm I went to Walmart and bought some groceries.

Here are some pictures of Miriam’s B-DAY Party

We surprised Miriam!

Intents

Intents with Peter Gregory

Intents Intents week was awesome and interesting. I was blessed with Peter Gregory sermons. One night,  He was talking about the enemies of your life and how you should forgive your enemies and pray for them. Tell me why that same night before i went to sleep I’m like, alright i’m going pray for that person even i don’t like that person. I pray for that person to stop acting that way because is not right.  Next day, I had a dream where that person forgave me and we start to talk again as freind. It was a really weird dream and I was in shock after i wake up because i thought was reality lol. I don’t know if Jesus is trying to tell me to confront that person but I just hope one day everything will be fine again.
