I have owned 5 laptops for the last 6 years, which are a lot of laptops if you ask me… From a Toshiba Satellite with DSTN screen, going next to an IBM Thinkpad 600x and owning only macs since then: Powerbook G4 550 titanium, Powerbook G4 1Ghz 12″ and, since yesterday, a shinny (second handed) […]

When you decide that it is worth to risk your ipod touch’s warranty in order to install a vast number of third party apps, you are sure to end filling up all the space dedicated to the ipod operative system. This ain’t good for a lot of reasons: you won’t be able to install new […]

A few days ago I said: ipod touch, I’ll pass on this one. Can you guess what happened next? Well, it is pretty obvious… I bought one.
I was extremely happy with an ipod nano 8Gb I bought 2 weeks ago, but a colleague of mine came to the office with a shinny new ipod touch, […]

I’m having some fun testing a Samsung i600 (a.k.a. Blackjack) windows mobile smartphone edition. I will probably sell it to someone else who has more respect for Microsoft software, but the Samsung hardware is top notch nonetheless, and I’m liking the device more and more.

Para formatear un teléfono (hard reset) samsung sgh i600v como los que proporciona Vodafone, hay que hacer un ejercicio de dedos muy interesante.
Primero de todo apagar el teléfono, y a continuación pulsar simultáneamente TODO esto:

Last week I sold my 30Gb ipod video for a bargain prize, just anticipating the shinny acquisition of a new generation ipod. I was never very happy with the ipod video anyways, being the main gripe its short battery life, which could only handle 2 hours of video playback and no more than 10 hours […]

As if I were a teenager, yesterday I found an mp3 song that I hadn’t heard in maybe ten years and a smile came to my face when I imagined that it could be played in my mobile when I need a loud tone (I am on of those who preffer having it silent all […]

A raíz de unos artículos (1 y 2) muy interesantes del compañero Serantes, ‘gadgetero’ e inductor de compras donde los haya, me he puesto también a pensar en mi relación con los aparatos electrónicos que pueblan mis estanterías y mochila… Viene a ser una excusa cualquiera para autoanalizarme, para realizar una introspección aunque sea sólo […]

I have been searching for a good rss reader since I switched my Nokia N800 for a Nokia 770, as the latter doesn’t come with a default application for handling news feeds. And since I had already found a truly perfect image viewer, this became the last software I needed to complete what was a […]

Las expectativas respecto a las novedades que Steve Jobs iba a desvelar ayer en la conferencia para desarrolladores de Apple que tiene lugar estos días eran tan altas que parece que algunos se han quedado con mucha hambre todavía… hambre de hardware.

Y es que Steve presentó durante largo rato el nuevo Mac OSX Leopard y […]
