Ironwulf En Route OVI App I know from personal experience that mobile phones are getting much powerful these days that I sometimes find myself browsing through my favorite sites whenever I’m on the move anywhere. Just spreading the content of my sites in different platforms, I’m launching the new Ironwulf En Route OVI App for Nokia based phones. It delivers the latest updates from Ironwulf En Route , The Digital Dispatches and My Flickr Stream . The App is Free which you could find here at the OVI Store . If you have a Nokia device with OVI Store, just search for Ironwulf and you’ll find the App there. It’s compatible on most Nokia Devices but is optimized for the latest handsets like the Nokia N8 where you can add a widget on the homepage to see real time updates.

It’s the last few days of the Lakbay Bayan: Local Tourism Exhibit which started last October 17 and will end on the 27 th . I squeezed in an hour to check out this nice little exhibit at SM Mall of Asia beside the skating ring.

Nokia N8 USB On-the-Go Field Test I’m always trying to find ways to travel lighter, especially with all my gadgets in tow. My current setup is bringing along my netbook for my daily obsessive-compulsive image back-up whenever I’m on a trip. I was ecstatic to learn that Nokia’s new flagship model, the Nokia N8 , has the USB OTG (On-the-Go) capability, making the handset a useful portable drive as well. So I put the feature to the test to see if I can possibly leave my netbook on my upcoming travels.

Nokia N8 in the Philippines All the buzz lately has been on the Android and IOS4 wars, but Finnish Company Nokia is not about to give up on their native Symbian OS yet as they unveiled their latest Symbian ^3 on their current top-of-the-line Smartphone, the Nokia N8 . Will it be able to stand up to the rapidly growing Android market? Probably, but as far as Nokia handsets are concerned, this could be their best handset at the moment.

Coffee Origins Exhibit at Greenbelt 5 Coffee lovers have a reason to troop to Greenbelt 5, Ayala until next week. The Coffee Origins Exhibit is running at the Gallery Bridge at the 2nd level. I’m not really a coffee enthusiast but it’s a project I’m involved with like last year as the creative guys behind the booth designs used my photos from Lake Sebu, Bacolod and Iloilo on their booth. Check it out.

Olympus E-PL1 with Leather Case Since the release of the New Generation Interchangeable Lens Cameras, whenever people ask me what’s a good SLR to buy, I always suggest the alternative system like the Olympus PEN . For one it’s lighter but still has the DSLR image quality. It’s also less daunting than the advance digital SLRs on the market for those moving from compact point and shoot. The Olympus PEN E-PL1 is the third Micro Four Thirds PEN camera from Olympus introduced last March. It hopes to appeal to consumers with its low price tag and user-friendly interface. I’ve been using the Olympus E-PL1 for almost 6 months now and here’s a somewhat quick review of the camera.
