The iPhone has many many clones around the world, but I’ve never seen one that steals app design, back cover design, and even adds a full fledged QWERTY keyboard. Now, this is one cool iPhone clone. Dubbed with a horrible name, the Cooli902, the “fat” iPhone clone carries a full slide-out keyboard, dual cameras, Java support, WiFi, and an analog TV tuner (Sorry, US residents, we’ve gone digital). So, this clone pretty much carries all of the features that the iPhone doesn’t have yet, excluding WiFi capabilities. The Cooli902 can play many file types, from standard MP3 to, MP4, 3GP and AVI video files. More »

So I only thought Black Friday deals could happen in stores like Wal-mart, Best Buy, Newegg, or places like that…but I was wrong! This year, Gameloft, a big game app maker in the Apple App store world, has quite a few of its games that are normally pricey, all for less than a dollar! If you’re like me and never buy anything more than 3$ or so, you’ll know what I mean by a Gameloft game. They have the reputation of always starting at $9.99, ending up at $4.99, and never budging. Gameloft extends its holiday More »

I’ve always been a proponent of the latest technology and am usually one of the first to buy a gadget when it’s first released. It’s just how I am and believe that some gadgets make things easier for us. In the past few years, smartphones have been that gadget. While many are still getting used to using a smartphone (my parents and cousins still don’t know how to use one), they’re extremely useful once you get the hang of it.

Take for example the new influx of apps across every smartphone operating system. Apps are designed to make the user experience easier and lately it seems like it’s made it so easy, using the version on my computer’s browser has become confusing.

The one app I’m going to use as an example is the new Facebook app for the iPhone, Android and other platforms (it sucks on WebOS but that’s another story). The app is extremely simple to use and gets you the info you want right away, without multiple clicks. It’s become so easy to use, I’ve preferred the Facebook app on my iPhone over the website on my browser. Here’s why. More »

Lasers are all the buzz these days and aside from light shows and weapons, they have actually come to use as a safety “net”. Thanks to a brilliant concept designed by Hanyoung Lee, pedestrians can now cross the street without having to worry about cars running a red light, or getting hit for that matter. The idea of the concept is to set up laser towers on either sides of the crosswalk so that a laser wall is projected in front of drivers when the light turns red. When the lights turn green again, the lasers will disappear and will tell pedestrians to wait on either side until the light turns red. More »

Looks like Psystar, the company that was making Apple clones aka “Hackintoshes” may no longer be around. According to a report by Apple Insider, a motion hearing has been set for December 14th, to decide the fate of Psystar. All signs point to an Apple victory.

While this is a victory for Apple, it may be a loss for consumers. Those looking for a cheaper version of Apple’s OS X no longer have the option to buy a Psystar machine or get software to install Mac OS X on hardware other than Apple’s. While no one is really sure how many “Hackintosh” models Pystar sold, they still made news in the tech world for standing up to Apple and trying to change the current Apple model, bundled software with only their hardware.

Every time I mention an Apple product to someone, I get labeled an Apple fanboy. Funny thing is while I like Apples products, I’d be the first one to agree with the limit on Apple products and Apple’s controlling ways. I like the products because they work with the least amount of problems.

The iPhone isn’t the greatest smartphone in the world but it’s the one that works well for me. Same thing with my iMac and MacBook Air. I’m loyal to the apple brand not because I think everything they throw out there is the beat thing in the world but because the brand has worked well for me in the past and continues to work well for me now.

Is there a gadget brand that you are loyal to? If so, why are you loyal to them?
