Pink Chopsticks

Ancient art meets modern technology. I love these kinds of things. This time its a ceramic shelled mobile phone that was unveiled by the designer from designer in Jingdezhen. This province has been known as China’s porcelain capital and the phone design is inspired by the traditional Chinese art of ink painting. I love Chinese traditional art work and if it can be on my mobile phone,I would be in heaven.

I do wish they would make this available in the market or team up with a phone maker to make something like a limited edition series..

Was hanging about one of my favorite sites on the latest Japanese gadgetry and computers – AkihabaraNews trying to check out the latest trends in camera’s but this one caught my eye.

I don’t own an LG Optimus Black phone but this cases makes me want to. Why? They are collaborative products from American pop artist Keith Haring and is exclusive for LG’s new Android 2.3 Optimus Black. I like!! I’m into pop art and this ones are unique without being overboard. The cases are said to be available in Europe next week.

Here’s an excerpt from LG’s Press Release:

SEOUL, Feb. 10, 2011 – LG Electronics (LG) is making a statement in smartphone design with a collaboration with the Keith Haring Foundation. The partnership will see artwork from the legendary American pop artist featured on LG’s Optimus Black, which at just 6 mm (at its thinnest point) and 109 grams, takes the crown as the world’s slimmest and lightest Android-powered smartphone.

“Keith Haring inspired the art world with his energetic, colorful images which are recognized by millions of people around the world,” said Dr. Jong-seok Park, President and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. “We hope to capture some of that ‘joie de vivre’ through this partnership as it’s perfectly consistent with our ‘Life’s Good’ philosophy.”

LG and the Keith Haring Foundation have selected two of the artist’s works to create iconic back covers for the LG Optimus Black. This is the second time LG has worked with the foundation — in 2008 LG and the foundation collaborated on the LG KF600 and LG KF700 with the goal of bringing more art into people’s lives.

At the very least I would say this is very intriguing! I was browsing around tech and gadgets site looking for the latest in gaming computers when I came across a feature post in AkihabaraNews about LG L-03C, touted as the ‘first’ Point and Shoot Phone.

I just had to share it here. The LG L-03C is the first real “Point & Shoot” Camera Phone or maybe it should be more apt to call it a camera with a phone function..Too bad its only available in Japan thru DoCoMo and is expected to be out in January.

As for the features, the L-03C has this: 12.1Mpix censor, up to ISO 3200, and features a Pentax 1:3.6-5.5 lens with a 3x optical zoom.It also comes with a HD Video recording mode (720p), GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and both 3G+GSM.

As for me, I like how it looks and I like that it resembles more of a camera than a phone =)

I want this. Seriously! I’m a compulsive note taker. I have notebooks, journals, scrap pads, netbook and I even put notes on my mobile phone. Having notes on different places sometimes leaves me so confused and disorganized. And this is a bad thing. I can imagine my hair falling off prematurely coz of too much ‘organizing’ stress.

King Jim’s Pomera series compact note taking device with a full size Keyboard and has now released a Mobile Gundam Special edition of their DM10G, named the DM11G. It looks super cool and functional!

And to add more market allure, well King Jim is releasing the DM11G in three different styles! DM11G comes with a 4” (640×480) Screen, 89MB of internal memory, a SDHC Slot,and runs on AAA batteries and weighs 340 g. Priced at 30,000 Yen, the Pomera DM11G is expected to be out in Japan mid December.

I find the designs too anime-ish and masculine but still its beyond cool. I think I know what to wish for this Chistmas, I wish they had it in Pink! At least with this, I won’t be wishing for the best hair loss products, right? Though, I ahve to wing learning Japanese first lol!

I love media players! More often than not, I have to sleep with some music playing and these tiny little players are a lot better than a sleep aid. I had an iPod, but after I purchased a Sony Ericsson phone with a superb music player and radio, it was shelved and my sister just claimed it now as hers.

A couple of weeks back, I’ve been browsing an electronics store here in Phnom Penh and the all new Sony Walkman series got my attention. Sleek! That’s how I would describe it. And considering that Sony Walkmans are almost icons when it comes to music players I would bet they would sound fantastic. So I’ve been watching out for the latest releases and oh! boy these ones makes me want to go for it, swipe the card, and bring it home.

Sony Walkman’s NW-A850 series

Sony Walkman’s NW-S750 series

Features digital noise canceling technology, which allows the user to choose from modes calibrated to his or her environment – ‘train/bus’, ‘airplane’, or ‘indoors’; as well as the Digital Sound Enhancement Engine, which recreates the high-frequency range of compressed audio files. The battery lasts fifty hours longer than previous comparable models – 40 with digital noise canceling on. The S series will go on sale on the 9th of October for an estimated price of between 14,000 and 20,000 JPY for storage sizes of 8 to 32 GB.

Now I have something to save for!!

Get used to this.. me hunting for cool pink stuff, phones, gadgets, bling blings. After all, Pink Sushi is a pink lover . I was doing a search online for epson receipt printer and I find myself stumbling into some really cool tech blogs and ogling. I came across the SEMCblog featuring the Sony Ericsson’s Vivaz Smartphone in Pink!

Now this is one gadget I wanna get my hands on. It’s a beauty right? And since I’ve been a Sony Ericsson mobile phone user for the past three years I know how top notch the product is in terms of quality, technology not to mention that I love their phone camera resolution compared to other phones.

Anyway, the Vivaz Smartphone features “Symbyan OS S60 5th Edition, 16.9 nHD wide 3.2″ 640×360 pixels (WVGA) 16,777,216 colour touchscreen display, 8.1 megapixel camera with autofocus and image stabilization, face detection, 720MHz processor, 720p video capture, 3.5 mm audio jack, Micro USB connector, TV-out (VGA resolution), aGPS and Wi-Fi™.

Microsoft launched its Windows phone in partnership with major Chinese mobile operators last Oct 15th. The company announced that 17 intelligent mobile phones using Micriosoft’s new Chinese operating system would be released to the Chinese market late 2009.

Who says seniors should be left behind the mobile phone, and texting craze? LG Electronics Korea has featured in a recent exhibit, mobile phones aimed at the older generation market.

Of course, the phone  comes equipped with larger screens as well as larger visuals for ease of use.
