iLuv Syren Wireless Speakers with Bluetooth and NFC sells for PHP 3,000

iLuvSyren

So iLuv has been making waves in Manila with really cool accessories for your iOS devices (like the last charger you will ever need). Today they’re debuting the 360 degree Syren wireless speakers which you ought to place in the middle of your living room as the sound emits from all corners of this sweet number.

But wait, there’s more! The Syren uses Bluetooth and NFC technology to pair up your audio. If you’ve ever tried to pair your external speakers with a phone using Bluetooth, you may encounter some sync errors along the way and the only remedy for that is to try and try again. We’re all familiar with this and pairing up devices via Bluetooth can be a b*tch at times. So the proposition here is that the Syren uses NFC technology for pairing via Bluetooth. If you own a NFC-compatible device like the Samsung Galaxy S4, all you need to do is physically tap the phone onto the Syren and the pairing will automagically happen without you having to configure anything! Works like a charm!

The iLuv Syren has a SRP of PHP 3,000. For that price, you might as well get it as even though there aren’t too many NFC-enabled phones available today, this technology will be a stock feature in most smartphones soon.

Product Highlights
Bluetooth Wireless
NFC Technology
360-Degree Sound
Built-In Microphone
Auxiliary Audio Input
Rechargeable Battery
Up to Six Hours of Playback

Buffalo DriveStation DDR: Almost SSD-like performance for less the cost; 2TB for PHP 8,200

drivestation_hd-gdu3_buffalo

A couple of days ago I sent a Tweet out asking friends how the heck am I supposed to review a hard drive. To be honest, at least for the regular consumer, panning the Internet for a gold review of a hard drive is the last thing they’ll ever want to do. Storage is really something we take for granted in this day and age where the number 1 criteria for selecting hard drive would be how much space it can store at the cheapest cost. Other features such as the security lock, automated backup and whether the drive is USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 compatible are secondary. Of course, if you’re a geek, like me, these things matter.

Sony Handycam HDR-GWP88 is waterproof with built-in projector; SRP PHP 35,000

sony_handycam_hdr_gwp_88_abuggedlife_philippines_4

I must admit that video recorders haven’t been on my radar for so long. Considering my earliest childhood memory of being enthralled with gadgets involved a video recorder (my dad was recording me while I kept on asking how it was possible “to watch yourself in the past”), the handy cam became obsolescent when almost all forms of consumer tech (i.e. webcams, mobile phones, compact and DSLR cameras) could record video.

But alas.

PS3 Exclusive The Last of Us now available in the Philippines

the last of us philippines

There’s a lot of life left in the PS3 even post-E3 and that’s saying a lot. As the current generation of consoles come to a close, the PS3 has aged gracefully. While Sony is set to release the PS4 this November, they’ve given gamers a sweet parting gift — The Last of Us. Developed by Naughty Dog (in my opinion the best AAA-game studio developer also responsible for the Uncharted series), this PS3-exclusive has a hype that truly does justice to the actual product, from more than two years of previews, teasers, live-action trailers and let’s play videos. It’s finally here. The Last of Us has strategy guides available in digital and in print. You can opt to buy book online for a hard copy.

BlackBerry Q10 with QWERTY keyboard and LTE available TODAY for PHp 31,990.00

BLACKBERRY Q10

Several weeks ago I reviewed the first BlackBerry 10 handheld to hit local shores, the BB Z10. It was essentially the Canadian company’s foray into a revamped OS to keep up with the ever-changing market. In that review I basically spelled out how the new OS is both condemning and innovative: the new OS doesn’t provide any new innovation that makes it stand out (unless of course you’re a BlackBerry Hub loyalist in which case my argument is moot) but it also has something great going for it — Android compatibility. This is what I had to say back then regarding that:
