They've arrived..

The Motorola S9 headset that I ordered 10 days back finally arrived on Saturday morning ... It wasn't a pleasant experience at all! I ordered them from Hong Kong off ebay and as soon as I opened them, I noticed something was wrong. The box looked worn and shabby. On opening it I find that it only had the headset, the charger, and a small booklet. Absolutely nothing else! No packing material of any sort, nothing!

They're fake!! A quick Google search and you come across these:

The best part is that after a couple of days of me buying the product, I got an email from ebay saying that the item listing had been removed due to undisclosed reasons and if you haven't paid for the item don't do so. So I emailed the seller stating that they were fake and that I had received an email like this from ebay and now I know why the listing was removed. I told her very plainly to give me a refund or I'd have to open a Paypal dispute (which I anyways did). She offered me a refund after a bit of consoling to tell me to try the headphones (which at first I couldnt get to work). So I got a refund and was left with a pair of fake faulty Moto S9s ... or so I thought. After fiddling around a lot with them I finally got them to work! They're not bad as long as they're free! They're totally not worth £15 but hey! I always love electronics, original or not, when they're FREE!!

Set up a blog for my friend..

Did something completely new today...thought I'd never be able to pull it off.

I've only got basic knowledge about web designing and HTML so I had to follow quite a few FAQs and tutorials online to setup Wordpress for my friend on his domain. It's finally up and running and I hope he puts it to good use.

Why the new iPad is a glorified iPod Touch...not even an iPhone 3GS!

Right, so Apple announced the "all new and completely awesome" iPad which is supposed to be somewhere between an iPhone and a Laptop and is supposed to be really good at it!

But here are a few reason why I think that it's nothing but a glorified iPod touch (apart from the fact that it just has a bigger screen and has the same design):

1. It's got no camera of any sort. And I'm not saying it needs to have a camera to take pictures but it should atleast feature a 1.3MP camera for video conferencing.

2. No multitasking. It's using the iPhone OS 3.2 for gods sake!

3. No USB ports. Come on! If it's a tablet atleast put in a USB port!

4. According to initial reports, the keypad isn't too good either.

So all it succeeded in doing is making the iPod touch capable of reading ebooks ... and this isn't innovative at all. Come on Apple! People HAVE heard about the Amazon Kindle!

All in all, Apple is now just bringing out products and holding these events to manipulate their stock prices and to try and keep the Apple fanboys happy ... whom are you kidding Apple? Have you even put some thought into making this thing?!!

As of now no specific changelog has been provided but RIM has seemed to solve the SMS bug in it's previous 5.0 OS releases..So head over, check out the new OS and let me know how it is - I'm still skeptical on updating my OS since I just recently did it and cant be bothered to do it so soon.

I just bought myself a...

Motorola S9 Bluetooth headset!

I've always fancied these but never really got a chance to buy one of them since the earphones I was using were in perfect condition! They still work like a charm but since they're the kinds that hook onto your ears, they worn and become loose causing them to fall off alot, which is very annoying especially when you're in the gym (you don't want to waste most of your time adjusting the damn things).

So back to the topic, this gave me a chance to consider buying myself new earphones - and since I've always fancied BT earphones, I thought I'd try out my friend's - Motorola S9 Beckham Edition. In one word, they're superb! Easy to pair, great audio quality, easy to learn (you need to memorise where the control buttons are on the earphones) and the greatest feature of all, they're wireless! This means no more wires coming in the way of my weights and I can finally listen to music while on the treadmill or while I'm cycling without the fear of the wire getting in my way.

After such a promising experience I found myself ordering this baby off ebay for £15 (from Hong Kong)! They've been dispatched and I'm hoping they get delivered in time.

Fingers crossed...
