Right now the iphone is loosing because
- 3.0 aint out yet which solves a lot of things the current iphone has like cut and paste!
- no turn by turn GPS (which will also be solved by 3.0)
- if something goes wrong with the software, I have to take it to apple, I cant re-flash it myself.
- Apple is just too exclusive, kinda like why I hated winmo years ago and why I loved PALM instead.

WinMo is winning because
- It’s winmo- tons of aps online for free
- It’s winmo- you can flash the ROM anytime and change the look of it making you feel you have a new phone all the time.
- I can fix the software myself if something goes wrong with it.
- Allows me to backup everything via memory card. This fail-safe option is just life saving sometimes.

Oh well, it all depends on Globe Telecom. I already texted my agent if she could get the touch pro 2 for me,if she can’t, then iphone it is.

I am on a gadget lust mode now.

GENEtically Superior: mATX ROG Rampage II GENE Motherboard Delivers Max Performance in Mini Form Factor

ASUS, the world’s leading producer of motherboards, released the new X58-based ROG (Republic of Gamers) Rampage II GENE in response to overwhelming demand for a mATX gaming and enthusiast motherboard. Hailing from ASUS’ world record-breaking Rampage II lineage, the Rampage II GENE boasts premium features such as MemOK! for worry-free memory upgrades, CPU Level Up for easy system performance boosts, and onboard SupremeFX X-Fi for true-to-life surround sound.

Atomic in Size, Atomic in Power
With the Rampage II GENE, ASUS has masterfully filled the mATX gap in its lauded ROG product line. For the first time, users will be able to harness the full power of the Intel® Core™ i7 processor in a chassis the fraction of the size and weight of an ATX desktop PC. The Rampage II GENE’s awesome combination of overclockability, tweakability and stability enable it to easily outgun other full-sized ATX

MemOK! Any Memory is A-Okay!
MemOK! was developed to provide users with a worry-free memory upgrade experience. In the event of a boot failure after installing new RAM, all the user has to do is press an easily accessible button on the motherboard and MemOK! will automatically load the failsafe settings needed to ensure a successful system boot. MemOK! is able to rapidly detect and resolve memory issues—even if bad or unstable memory is used!
Supreme In-game Audio with SupremeFX X-Fi
An onboard SupremeFX X-Fi solution delivers crisp audio and incredibly realistic in-game sound effects. Official EAX sound effects from EAX 1.0 to EAX HD4.0 allow gamers to enjoy total immersion in supported games. X-Fi CMSS3D’s groundbreaking positional audio gives gamers a distinct in-game advantage, while Crystalizer enhances overall audio quality dramatically.

I will do a full review soon once I get a sample but just to let everyone know, you may now order this in 8 gig and 16 gig models from www.fineupgrades.com resellers.

History was made yesterday, May 23, 2009 at the SM City CEBU as our very own local Cebuano enthusiasts locked up head to head in the first BIGGEST overclocking show done in the Philippines.

I was not able to take pictures but I shall give you a link to a fellow tech blogger who has and wrote about the event as well:

Mango Chico’s Blog about the the ASUS OVERCLOCKING SHOW

This momentous event will definitely be one for the history books of CEBU and the Philippines. A Stepping stone to many more similar events, I hope..

Rock on!
