Wise Thoughts to Ponder

A long life may
not be enough but
a good life is good
enough.

***

All truth is good
but not all truth is
good to say.

***

Anger is just 1
letter short of
danger.

***

To handle
yourself, use your
hear. To handle
others, use your
heart.

***

Revenge gets you
even with your
enemy. Forgiving
him puts you above
him.

***

It's better to
remain silent & be
thought a fool than
to open your
mouth & prove it.

Touchscreen BlackBerry Storm finally unveiled

After months of rumors, the Storm—the first-ever touchscreen BlackBerry—is finally official, and it's set for Verizon Wireless (exclusively, for now) later this fall.

Verizon hasn't coughed up a hard-and-fast release date for the Storm—nor any pricing details, for that matter—but this much we do know: It'll pack in dual-mode CDMA and GSM radios for full-on world calling, 3G access (both EV-DO Rev. A and HSPA), GPS (along with turn-by-turn directions), Bluetooth (including the A2DP profile for stereo Bluetooth headsets), and a 3.2-megapixel camera with flash and autofocus.

Measuring 4.4 by 2.4 by 0.55 inches and weighing in at about 5.5 ounces, the Storm (which is also set to arrive in Europe through Vodafone) looks to be roughly the same size as an iPhone or the upcoming T-Mobile G1, so it should be reasonably pocketable.

The centerpiece, of course, will be the Storm's 480 by 360-pixel, 3.25-inch glass display, which will support multitouch (good for two-finger gestures, a la the iPhone). Even better, though, is a feature that RIM calls "ClickThrough": a design that lets you "distinctly feel the screen being pressed and released with a gentle click" for a "highly intuitive experience." Sounds promising, but whether the Storm's display actually delivers the tactile experience that's missing on the iPhone and the G1 remains to be seen.

In addition to the multitouch display, the Storm will also come with an ambient light sensor, along with an accelerometer that'll automatically turn the screen when you hold the phone sideways. Speaking of which: When it comes to entering text, holding the Storm in a landscape view will give you a full QWERTY touch keypad, while in portrait mode you'll get a SureType keypad (or the same layout as on a BlackBerry Pearl).

Naturally, messaging will doubtless be one of the Storm's strong suits. Expect full-on BlackBerry e-mail support, complete with push e-mail and access to POP and IMAP e-mail servers. Also on board: SMS, picture and instant messaging.

The Storm will also come with full-on Office document editing—including support for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents—courtesy of DataViz Documents to Go. Of course, plenty of other BlackBerry applications are already available, and there's word that a branded BlackBerry store is on tap, similar to Apple's App Store and the Android Market.

Besides its 3.2MP camera, the Storm is set to arrive with full HTML Web browser (double-tap to zoom, tap and slide to scroll), a video and music player, with Verizon promising smooth, full-screen video playback. There's also a 3.5mm jack for your earphones, 1GB of internal storage, and a microSD expansion slot for another 16GB of flash memory.

All in all, sounds like a formidable package, although something's missing if you look carefully: Wi-Fi. Ugh.

iPhone, not a 'hit' in Japan

The latest iPhone released by Apple Inc worldwide back in June and July may have met sales expectations in the US, European countries, Australia and even in the Philippines, but not that much in Japan.


The Wall Street Journal reports that the demand for iPhones in Japan has fallen 33% since it was first launched in the country in July.

Sales have been slowed by the iPhone's relatively high price and the fact that Japan is already home to some of the world's most advanced cellphones.

"The iPhone is a difficult phone to use for the Japanese market because there are so many features it doesn't have," says Eimei Yokota, an analyst with MM Research.


The sales target in Japan was 1,000,000 units of iPhones, but the actual sales is just over 200,000 in two months and would not even reach 500,000.

Not a surprise though, because Japan has already embraced phones with 3G features ahead of other countries.

Unlike the iPhone, Japan's self-produced phones also have features that suit the needs of the Japanese people.

Despite of this, the Apple's iPhone generally remains as the most sought-after phone in the world.

Hope somebody could give me one. Haha!
