My daily crumbs of interestsMy Gadgets
Apple iPad
Truly a revolutionary device. Notebooks suddenly become obsolete. Great for note taking, reading magazines, browsing on the couch, viewing pictures, or just simply playing games. Mine is 3G + Wifi 64 GB, capable for housing those plethora of great apps. Someday people will look back and remember that iPad started all of these.
iPod Touch 32 GB
Finally replaced my iPod Video with this excellent device. It’s not only a MP3 player, it’s actually a pocket multimedia computer. With its Wi-Fi connection, it turns out to be a perfect web browsing device while you’re sitting on the couch. And the fact it can runs most of applications on Apple Store makes it stand out in a distant way from its competitor (if any)
Nikon D80
Impressive digital SLR for 10.2 megapixels for advanced amateurs. The SD card storage system makes it versatile for quick viewing in my phone or PDA.
Nikkor 18-200 f/3.5-5.6 VR
Very versatile Nikon lens ever! Capture most lens range you ever need. Wide angle and telephoto shots are in the house. Not to mention its Vibration Reduction technology.
Nikon 50 mm f/1.8
A cheapo. But big in performance. Very sharp, and its wide aperture makes a very good isolation in portrait shot. Best value lens in my opinion!
Tokina ATX-Pro/11-16 mm f.2.8
An excellent wide lens. Sharp and the build quality is outstanding and pro-like. The fixed aperture also comes handy when you’re shooting in available light.
Nikon SB-800 Flash
Top-of-the-line Nikon flash. Big gun in terms of power (GN 38), and carries big features such as wireless lighting system, high speed sync mode and i-TTL balanced fill-flash control.
Blackberry Bold 9700 (Onyx)
This is now become my only phone. Use this for my personal and office business purposes. A beast for email and internet communication. Love the simple menu for simple phone tasks – SMS and Call, a task a modern smartphone may over complicate with.
Sony PSP
Great pocket game system. Big screen, comfortable game pads, and lots of great games. The instant on/off feature really helps for dedicated gamers without dedicated playing game time like me.
Gameboy Advance SP
Ok, this one belongs to my son, Rafif. But sometimes I play around with it too, especially if Rafif is too busy dodging robot’s missiles on my PSP. Great battery life and many great simple games for kids and adults.
Gameboy Advance Lite
Another gaming device. This one belongs to my daughter, Aya, who asked for it after she got good grades. An innovative gaming device, triggers lots of innovative games because of its Wi-Fi and touch-screen ability. Supported with lots and lots of games, particularly with girls games. No wonder my daughter asked for it!
Apple iMac 21″
My desktop PC at home, replaced the old and trusted HP Pavillion. Love the brilliant screen, and the zippy and powerful iOS for graphic and multimedia works. Now serve as multimedia center of my home, housing music, video and pictures.
Sony Playstation 3
An excellent gaming machine with lots of excellent exclusive games (God of War, Uncharted, Killzone, Gran Turismo). It’s Wi-Fi connection makes me easy to move it around the different TV sets at home. The blu-ray player is a significant differentiator to the XBOX 360 (eventhough I rarely use this. Too busy playing *grin*). And of course, it’s much much more reliable than the Microsoft’s machine who is notorious for the red ring of death problem.
Orion Trekker Pro II
Finally! The only gagdet I have without a needing for electricity. But this one houses them all (except the desktop PC of course). I bring it every day. The lower compartment for my photographic stuffs, while the upper compartment safely keep all of my gadgets with me. Lose it, and you can tell me that I will be crying for years! (*touchwood*)
[...] for the past year, I think I added some of the gadgets, which I have not updated in this blog. I will do one after this, particularly after I got my Palm [...]
