Sony Ericsson W660i Walkman phone
Wow!..I guess I'm too slow or too old already for knowing this model only today...hehe...What a beautiful design of the Sony Ericsson w660i in Rose Red color...so nice...even I want to get one of this for me...How much is the price? need to do some survey first...
Sony Ericsson announced that this model comes in 2 color, rose red and Record Black. Actually, it just been launched somewhere in 14th March 2007. Also introduced a new compact external speaker, model MPS-75, which let you plays the track stored in your Walkman phone out loud. I have attached the picture of this speaker below...
This is a small plug-in speaker unit with excellent sound quality that is powered from the phone - perfect for that party moment. Anyway I prefer to listen to my music using the headset...It keeps me isolate from the other world..hehe.. The W660 Walkman phone also offers Bluetooth Audio Streaming, which allows you to send music wirelessly from the phone to other compatible devices, such as the Music Bluetooth Receiver MBR-100 or the Stereo Bluetooth Headset HBH-DS970.
The w660 equipped with the features of TrackID. If you ever need to identify a piece of music that you don’t recognise, simply record a few seconds of the track, either via the microphone or by tagging a clip straight from the phone’s FM Radio, and TrackID will send the clip to the Gracenote Mobile MusicID database. This quickly identifies the track, the artist and album and relays the information back to your Walkman phone.
As for the memory, you will get 512Mb Memory stick pro when you purchase this phone which can allow you to store up to 470 full length of songs and you could upgrade your memory when your song collection increase.
If you subscribe your phone to the web, this w660 would allow RSS feed to delivered straight to your phone desktop...but for me, I don't prefer to surf the web through my phone...too small...and too slow...heh
One additional features that I like most of this phone is Picture Blogging capability. So, with its 2.0 MP camera, you could capture a picture and upload it instantly to your personal blog site.

LG Chocolate KG800
Heh...My wife wanted to buy this phone as a present to me. She ask me first before she buy it and I said "Wait, let me make a survey first before you buy"...
So, here is what I find out about the LG chocolate...
I have seen it before my eyes and its design really attract my attention. The design is absolutely beautiful and stylish. But how about the spec that I want and what are the specs that are going to be a waste to me...
And how about the price...Well, it seems that eventhough this model is available at the market for quite sometime, the price just still remains the same...Last time I saw the price is around RM900++...
Anyway, I love to see the size and the contrast of the display...it has the size of 31 x 39mm with 176 x 220pixels, TFT 256k color...The design makes it suits your palm...It has 128Mb internal memory and it is not expandable, no card slot available...
Connectivity is through Bluetooth 1.2 and USB 2.0...
Its camera has resolution of 1.3MP...This phone can play MP3 and MPEG4 file...Battery life can last long for 6hrs for talk time and 200hrs in standby...
I have yet to decide to buy this phone...I'm thinking of getting me the Sony Ericsson walkman series...heh...

Car Portable DVD Player
It has become a new trend in car accessories to include the DVD player as an alternative entertaiment for the passenger - not the driver aaa...heh...but sometime I did watch a movie while I'm driving...heh...dangerous...so, don't copy that...only expert can do that.
DVD Players for cars come in 3 categories - underseat DVD players, in-dash dvd players, and car dvd changers. All car dvd players offer premium sound and picture quality and can give you multichannel surround sound. However, while watching a movie from the LCD display during a hot daylight - it could disturb your comfort while enjoying the movie because you could see the flash of the light on your screen.
Car dvd players are small and compact and allow you to mount them underneath a seat or in a cargo area for convenience. The underseat car dvd players would cost from RM600-RM850, the in-dash car dvd players can be from RM600-RM1200, and the car dvd changers are more expensive at RM1200 - RM3000. I have had a portable dvd player in the car for years that mounts to the back of the passenger seat and is perfect for long drives. If you have kids, then this is a must buy for any driving trip.
Creative Zen Vision 30GB PMP
I would love to buy of this PMP model from Creative Zen. Its price is around RM1200 in the local market. This model got 30GB of memory space - more than enough to enjoy more than 120hrs of movies or video clip or thousand of songs. This one's both smaller and lighter than the Zen PMC, and has a CompactFlash memory card slot, a 640 x 480 pixel, 3.7-inch LCD screen, built-in FM tuner, and support for playback of MP3, WMA, and WAV audio files and MPEG4, WMV, DivX, and XviD video files.
Sony Ericsson Walkman W900 3G music phone
TIf you're music lover, maybe you want to try the latest model W900 of Sony Ericsson walkman phone. I saw one of this model while doing my window shopping for the latest gadget. This model come in 2 different color, black and white. Both look stunning but I prefer the black color one...heh..
This model offers the user a choice at start-up - call or music only. The swivel is the same as the W550's, but the screen is larger. The screen is nice with a 240 x 320 resolution and 262,144-hue colour depth. The contours of the phone are smooth and suit the white skin. Nevertheless, the audio suffers as a result - the W900 has only one speaker, mounted on the back of the unit next to the camera.
The headphones, with a lead-mounted display and roll control, fit very well in the ear. The soft rubber collars make the earpieces fit snuggly and seal out a lot of background noise but I still can hear a bit of the background noise...maybe my ear is too sensitive...hehe..Anyway, I'm still satisfy with the sound quality.
Its internal memory has a capacity of 470MB , with a MemoryStick Duo port for more memory space. One nice addition would have been a 3.5mm jack, allowing replacement headphones and the ability to output music to another device.

Nokia N800 series
Make your internet connection mobile with this Nokia N800 series. It use the Internet Tablet OS 2007 developed by Nokia. The display is excellent with the size of 4.1 inches and resolution 800 x 480pixel. Camera can be improved. The first generation use 0.3MP camera and can be used as a webcam. Memory can be extendable with 2 slot of SD card - 1 external and 1 internal. Its RAM uses 128MB and its Flash memory has the capacity of 256MB - enough for below than 100 mp3 files. To me it is ok already. Sound quality good enough but not as good as Sony Ericsson walkman series. Connectivity is done either through IEEE 802.11, bluetooth 2.o or USB 2.o. Battery life can last long for 3 hours in use or 10 days in standby.
Philips PET1002 10.2" Portable DVD / DivX Player
Previously, before I bought the DVD player from Brothers, I was thinking to buy this Philips Portable DVD player. But, because the price is an issue to me...heh...so, I just put it out from my shopping list. Anyway, I would like to share the opinion from one of my friend who had been using this model for quite sometime. The design itself could make one to purchase one of this model. It has a long battery life up to 3.5hrs after its fully recharged, so you can enjoy your movie... mobile. It is lightweight and has a large screen 10.2"with an excellent display. Affordable? heh...to me, its quite expensive...above than RM1200. It is also user-friendly and thus easy to use.Sound quality - excellent.
IRiver PMP-120 (20Gb)
While this is the PMP from iRiver model 120 series. One of my friend got one of this. I'm just taking his opinion about this player. It has a good quality of LCD screen. It also has a built-in kickstand which includes a voice recorder, a line-in audio recorder, and an FM tuner. When he first bought the unit, it came with a stylish carrying case. Its battery is easy to be removed.
However, it does takes a little to get used to it.
Samsung PMP Digimax i6
This is the latest samsung Digimax i6 PMP player. I haven't got the chance to try it and to see how well Samsung's Digimax will hold up to PMP duties, but as far as I know Samsung is billing it as the "world's first PMP slim camera," so hopefully it does something right. The price 6 megapixel i6 is around RM1000. It also comes with a 2.5-inch LCD and a 3x optical zoom, the i6 includes a mini headphone jack for enjoying MP3 files, along with video playback capability for XviD files. The movie file need to be converted first with the included converter. Thickness is aorund 0.7-inch.

Portable DVD player with screen
I had bought one portable dvd player with screen, 8.4" screen. Brand Brother's - car accesories brand, quite popular in Malaysia. I bought this player purposely not only can be used in my car but also can be brought while I go outstation. The price also is quite ok - RM888.00
Before I bought this player, I made a survey first - the spec and of course the price. I have seen a lot of brand in our local market. Not only the recognized brand of portable dvd player but also a lot of not so famous brand of this kind of player.
For me if you want to buy an electronic appliance, it is worth to buy any cheap brand. From the experience, normally I'll stick to one electronic gadget for 2 or 3 months only. Then, I'll start to leave it and hardly to use it. And after some time, if I feel I'm not going to use it anymore - I'll just keep it in the drawer or just give it to my siblings.
Back to the player that I bought, this dvd player is powered with Akai electronic as it main component. Quite reliable. The LCD display also quite excellent. It also can be used with the USB thumbdrive and the SD/MMC card. It also has the capability to remember the last chapter of the movie played right before it was switched off. Even if you disconnect the main power supply or the external battery supply, it still can remember that last chapter played.
I frequently bring this player with me while outstation and sometime after I finish the job earlier, I will play a movie and enjoy it with my customer while they still busy with the lab works. Just make sure that their lab supervisor is not around...hehe....if not, he will labell me as a bad element to his staff...heh...
PMP Player
Recently I bought an MP4 player...not really a branded item...I think it is China made...Internal memory just 1G but can add with microSD card...
The purpose I bought it, is because I want to put some movie file inside it and watch it from the player itself...Using the provided movie file converter, I was able to play it from the MP4 player...
Unfortunately, it can't occupied all the movie files...so, I can only watch the movie just half way...quite disappointed with the player...and I can't get my money back....So, what I did...I just gave the player to my younger sister.....
The funny thing is, I found another brand of PMP player which I've been looking for quite some time...Brand JXD, also from China...This time, I don't mind to spend more money to buy the player...quite happy with the player...I manage to play a dvd file from this player....the whole movie contents...not only 1 movie, but 2 movie can be stored at 1 time...for me, this is quite ok...since most of my time during outstation, I spent it with having a chit chat with other people especially with my customer....
The only problem is the display, even though it is a 2.5" bright LCD display...my eyes will easily get tired looking to that smallscreen for a very long time...So now, I seldomly bring the player with me when I go outstation....The player become 1 more collection, kept in the drawer just to be displayed...heheh....
This time, I bought another gadget....portable DVD player - 8.4" LCD screen.....hehehe....

New Tech Gadget
This is my first time trying to create my own blog. It feels good to show and share my opinion with the others. At least with that we could learn a new things and share the knowledge. I select 'New Tech Gadget' as my blog's title as I'm quite crazy about the electronic gadget. I believe there is a lot of people out there sharing the same passion as I have.
I am a person whose work require me to travel a lot. I can tell you that my job requires me to fly frequently around Malaysia area including Sabah and Sarawak. So it happen one time ago, I received a lot of customer's call and need me to attend their problem. During that one month, I fly 20 times. Could you just imagened that? I'm so tired of it. But what to do, it is the nature of my job. Nevertheless, I'm quite happy with what I did. Simply because, I give my services to help make the other life better. And when they happy, I feel really satisfy.
So since I travel a lot, I need to find a way to enjoy my time. How to enjoy my time during the waiting hours at the airport? So, I bought a few electronic gadget just to entertain myself. I can't enjoy the movie with my massive exploded home theatre system, can't watch my favorite tv programme, can't listen to my favorite radio channel, can't select the song that I want, So why not bring it out with me? But I also don't want to bring the laptop, it still big and heavy too.
That is why New Tech Gadget come - Lets put our input to this.
