Flashlight Apps..

I found this application where you can use the screen of your phone as a flashlight, incase your phone doesn't have any flash. You can control the brightness of the application by moving the joystick upwards to become brighter and downwards to become darker.

I forgot what site i got this but incase people from that site saw this I wanna say thanks.

Mobile Lens

Ever wished you could get a better picture from your mobile phone?
I found a mobile lens where you can attached it to your phone and capture a macro, a distorted or even a triangular Kaleidoscope picture. it sells for a 15 bucks. I hope i can see one here at the philippines.

Vixy.net

Having trouble downloading movies or videos on youtube?

Here's my way on getting my favorite anime from youtube to my phone.

Presenting http://vixy.net/.

This service allows you convert a Flash Video / FLV file (YouTube's videos,etc) to MPEG4 (AVI/MOV/MP4/MP3/3GP) file online. It is using a compressed domain transcoder technology (outline in Japanese). It converts FLV to MPEG4 faster and less lossy than a typical transcoder.

When you submit an url, it will download and convert to the video format. Then you can download the converted file.

My windows mobile baby =)

I got my windows mobile baby from the states while we were on the training.
My babies name is "T-mobile sda 2".
Even thought it has a bump on top of it i still love it. the only thing i don't appreciate on it is that its not so good camera. it may have a 1.3mp camera but its very light dependent. you can't take good pictures on it in the dark or even with a low light. i have tried looking for camera applications but the real problem is on its hardware. =(

Comparing it to nokia and erickson, for me i'll still chose a windows mobile =)
But if i were to choose from nokia and erickson, I'd prefer spending my money on erickson.
what i like about erickson is that its camera it much better than a winmobile and it has a good sound quality.

Headset converter for our loving windows mobiles...

Its been a while since I went to glorietta. Last Monday I went there to buy some blank cd's at cd-r king then i have decided to check if i can see some windows mobile accessories for my phone. Unfortunately I wasn't successful. It was already 3 pm and I am very tired of walking around and asking every cellphone stall. I was about to go the jeepney stop when i passed a stall and saw this headset converter. I got curious and take a look. Yup its a 3.5mm to 2.5mm headset converter. I thought to myself maybe this one is just like the ones that I have once have. The once I used to have was not that great. Only one part of the headset or speaker is working and it is very sensitive. You can't just move it coz it your headset will get disconnected. So I asked the girl from the stall if i can try it. I was amazed. both left and right headpiece is working except for the headset was crappy. so I bought the converter for 150 pesos. I cant find any pictures of it so that you guys can look for it too. .. =)

Zenum Opus

Well what do you know, the Opus (Pocket PC) - announced an AGE ago by Swiss company Zenum - has finally made the transition from vapourware to a real live device.

After a number of changes to it's design, CNET seem to have got their grubby paws on a unit! The CNET hands on consists of 6 photos, and a short writeup.

Device specs from the Zenum Products page...

- Windows Mobile 6 (Professional)
- QWERTY Bar type device
- TI OMAP 850 Tri band with 850/1800/1900 and 900/1800/1900 variants available
- 128MB ROM / 64MB RAM
- miniSD expansion
- 2MP Camera
- WiFi / BT / IR

That's what they tell you. What they don't tell you is that the device is ODM'd for them by TechFaithWireless, who also produce devices for UBiQUiO and i-mate. Sure enough, upon closer inspection of the device specs / form / port placements etc., it's clear to see that the Opus sits roughly between the UBiQUiO 501 and the i-mate JAQ3, which are both based on the same design.

Nothing wrong with that I hear you say, and you're right... when I reviewed the UBiQUiO 501 I found it had some endearing features, and was very likeable at the price. And here lies the problem.
