Nintendo Game Boy 20th Birthday

gameboy advance 300x183 Nintendo Game Boy 20th BirthdayI just remembered the days when I used to play my Game Boy, where all my childhood spare time goes like nothing when my thoughts are in this monochrome gaming device. No doubt how the Game Boy has lived since Nintendo released this handheld gaming device where at that time will cost you 12,500 yen (Japan debut 1989). Nintendo Game Boy comes with games like the Super Mario Land, Baseball, Alleyway and Yakuman, apparently the available games have grew into hundreds marking its successful release.

Pharos Traveler 127

Posted by on Monday, 20 April, 2009 No comments

pharos 127 199x300 Pharos Traveler 127The Pharos Traveler 127 may look like a BlackBerry at first glance, but it’s a Windows Mobile Professional smartphone with a full QWERTY keyboard, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi wireless connectivity (in addition to GPRS), and a built-in GPS that can ensure that you never get lost, even if you don’t have phone coverage.

It’s a little larger than some of the mobile phones available today, but it packs in a lot of features that may make the trade-off worthwhile. Unfortunately it isn’t available directly from any carrier, and is currently being sold as an unlocked GSM smartphone for $530 — though you can get it from eXpansys for $480.

Build and Design
No matter what other issues the Traveler 127 may have, the device is very well made and exceptionally solid, though surprisingly lightweight for it size.

The design is somewhat boxy, with the corners being only slightly rounded at the top and bottom. The phone isn’t ugly, but it isn’t sexy–it’s obviously meant to be a productivity tool for a mobile professional, with no added frills.

T-Mobile Shadow II

Posted by on Wednesday, 15 April, 2009 No comments

T Mobile Shadow II 130x300 T Mobile Shadow IIThe T-Mobile Shadow II is a Windows Mobile smartphone with a tablet shape featuring a portrait-oriented, sliding keyboard. Naturally, it has a great deal in common with the original Shadow, but adds support for T-Mobile’s VoIP service, HotSpot@Home.

It’s been designed for consumers who are looking to make texting easier, but its support for making phone calls over a Wi-Fi connection that sets it apart from its competitors.

Build and Design
Overall, I like the design of the Shadow II. It’s light and pocketable, but packs in plenty of features.

The slider is there to let you hide the keyboard when you’re not using it, but it also offers one of my favorite feature of this device: the sliding screen also can do double duty as the On/Off switch. Naturally, you’re going to want your phone’s screen to be off and the keys locked when it’s in your pocket. When you pull the Shadow out and slide up the screen, it immediately wakes up and is ready to go. When you’re done with it, sliding the screen back down turns the screen off and locks the keys. You can do the same thing with button presses, but it’s not as easy.

The Shadow II rides well in your pocket, but a carrying case is included so you can clip it to your belt if you want to.
