AT&T has recently released a mobile phone charger that’ll let you save energy, save money and help the environment all at the same time.

Do you know that an average cellphone charger uses up the same amount of power from the AC outlet whether or not the cellphone is using it? Many people aren’t aware of this so they just leave their cellphones plugged in to their charger overnight or leave their charger plugged in the AC outlet even when they’re not using it. Because of this, there’s a lot of wasted energy and wasted money on electric bills.

To address this issue, AT&T has developed the world’s first automatic zero draw charger called the AT&T ZERO charger. Carlton Hill, vice president of Devices and Product Development for AT&T’s wireless operations has this to say about their newest product:

“In an effort to provide environmentally friendly and simpler solutions for our customers, AT&T worked hand in hand with Superior Communications to create the first practical and user-friendly zero-draw charger for mobile phones,” ..“With the size of AT&T’s customer base, providing solutions like these helps our customers make a big difference.”

So what does the ZERO charger do? Unlike other conventional cellphone chargers, it automatically detects whether your phone is connected or not and cuts the power supply from the AC outlet or wall socket, saving energy and money for the user.

The AT&T ZERO charger is designed by Superior Communications and has 5-star efficiency rating. It also features a “block-and-cable” design for maximum interchangeability, allowing customers to use the same charger for future handsets/devices and over time, it will cut the number of cellphone chargers produced and reduce future landfill waste. With USB compatibility, you can use the ZERO charger for many mobile devices, not just cellphones. The ZERO charger will be sold using green packaging (100% recycled paper).

There’s no word yet how much the ZERO charger will cost but it will be available in May at AT&T retail locations here in the US or at www.wireless.att.com.

Check out the official press release or if you want to learn more about the AT&T Zero charger, visit www.att.com/ZERO.

I think this is a brilliant idea/product! Why didn’t anyone think about creating a product like this earlier? Anyways, I’m definitely gonna get myself a ZERO charger as soon as its available not because I’m an AT&T customer but because of what it can do – help save energy, help me save money on electric bills and at the same time help save the environment.

What do you think of AT&T’s ZERO charger? If you had the chance, would you get one? Please share your thoughts.

While watching the 82nd Annual Academy Awards earlier this evening, I saw the first Apple iPad TV commercial. It was aired during a commercial break of the 82nd Annual Academy Awards or the 2010 Oscar Awards. When I first saw it, I didn’t really pay attention to it but then I remembered that I haven’t seen or heard about an Apple iPad commercial before so I checked and confirmed that this ad was the first Apple iPad commercial aired on national television.

A few minutes after it was shown on TV, the Apple iPad commercial/TV ad was immediately uploaded and made available in the iPad gallery section of the Apple website. Here’s a copy of the Apple iPad commercial.

The commercial is cool but talking about the hardware – the Apple iPad itself, its nothing more than an oversized version of the iPod Touch/iPhone. I totally agree with what my fellow Pinoy tech blogger and online friend – Mike Abundo posted on his Facebook status:

Until the iPad has the capabilities of an actual tablet computer and not a giant voiceless smartphone, it’s simply overpriced and underpowered.

I know there are some people who’d still buy the iPad but if you’re looking for a “real” tablet pc, I suggest you save your money and wait for something better to come out or wait until Apple makes improvements on the iPad and maybe release a iPad Pro version. Anyways for those who are interested, the Apple iPad will start shipping and go on sale starting next month. The WiFi-only model will be available on April 3 while the WiFi + 3G model will be available late April. You can preorder any iPad model starting March 12th. The Apple iPad will be available in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Switzerland and the UK in late April.

What do you guys think of the Apple iPad commercial? Does it convince you to buy it even though it lacks in hardware features? Would you spend money to buy an oversized iPod Touch/iPhone?

Mini versions of larger and more expensive handsets/smartphones is becoming one of the trends in this year’s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. Earlier today, HTC released 3 new mobile devices at MWC 2010. First one is the HTC HD Mini which specs-wise is a mini version of the HTC HD 2. The other 2 handsets are the HTC Legend, a sexy aluminum-cased phone and the HTC Desire which has a very striking resemblance to the Google Nexus One.

The HTC HD Mini is a small version of the HD2 running on Windows Mobile 6.5.3, a 600MHz MSM7227 processor, has a 3.2″ HVGA multi-touch capacitive display, a 5 megapixel camera and 512MB ROM / 384MB RAM. It will be available in Europe and Asia in the 2nd quarter of this year.

Next is the HTC Legend, a beautiful and sexy mobile device running on Android 2.1, a 600MHz MSM7227 processor, sporting a 3.2″ HVGA AMOLED display and the Sense UI, a 5 megapixel camera, 512MB ROM / 384 RAM and an optical joystick. The HTC Legend will start shipping in Europe next month and will be available in Asia in the 2nd quarter of this year.

Last, but not least is the HTC Desire which is actually the most impressive one in this new batch of HTC phones. The HTC Desire is an Android 2.1-powered device running on 1GHz Snapdragon processor, 512MB ROM / 576 RAM, with a 3.7″ WVGA AMOLED display, a 5 megapixel camera, an optical joystick and full Microsoft Exchange support. This phonen will be available both in Europe and Asia starting in the 2nd quarter of this year.

Inspite of being 3 totally different mobile devices, the HTC HD Mini, HTC Legend and HTC Desire have these things in common: GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, G-sensors, 3.5mm headphone jacks, dual-band (900/2100MHz) 7.2Mbps HSDPA connectivity and a new social media app called “Friend Stream”. There’s no word yet when or whether the HTC HD Mini, HTC Legend and HTC Desire would be made available here in the US or in North America or how much each handset costs.

Among these 3 new handsets released by HTC, which one do you like the most? The HTC HD Mini, HTC Legend or the HTC Desire?

No, I didn’t buy a new laptop. This thing right here is my cousin’s new computer. I accompanied her last week in the nearby BestBuy outlet to help her pick out a new laptop. She already had a brand of choice – Toshiba so it wasn’t difficult and it didn’t take long for her to narrow down her choice. My cousin decided to get the mid-sized Toshiba Satellite A505-S6005 for $649 (before taxes).

Like I’ve mentioned here several times before, I am the family in-house geek/desktop support so I had the privilege of unboxing the Toshiba Satellite A505-S6005, installing the necessary software and testing it out for a week. Here are some of the tech specs and product images of this mid-sized laptop:

Specifications:

• Intel® Core™ i3-330M processor with 3MB L3 cache and 2.13GHz processor speed.
• 4GB DDR3 memory (expandable to 8GB).
• Multiformat DVD±RW/CD-RW drive with double-layer support
• 16″ TFT-LCD high-definition widescreen display w/ TruBrite technology (1366 x 768 resolution).
• 500GB Serial ATA hard drive (5400 rpm)
• Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator HD w/ 32-1696MB dynamically allocated shared graphics memory.
• Windows 7 Home Premium Edition
• Built-in Harman/Kardon stereo speakers with Dolby Sound Room support.
• Built-in wireless LAN (802.11b/g/n)
• Built-in 10/100 Ethernet LAN w/ RJ-45 connector.
• Built-in webcam and microphone
• Multiformat media reader: Secure Digital, Secure Digital High Capacity, Memory Stick, Memory Stick PRO, MultiMediaCard and xD-Picture Card formats.

Additional Images:

The first thing I did with it was create the restore discs which ate up a total of 5 DVDs – 3 Recovery DVD Discs, 1 Windows Recovery Environment (64-bit) Disc and #1 Toshiba Application and Drivers DVD. Since it was bought from BestBuy, it came with the BestBuy Software Installer program but I didn’t need it so I immediately removed it from the system. The Toshiba Satellite A505-S6005 doesn’t have too much bloatware (trial software/games) installed but it does have a lot of Toshiba applications and programs on it. I didn’t remove them but I disable some of them from Startup so that the computer can boot up faster.

It’s powered by Intel’s new entryl-level processor the Core i3 with 2.13GHz of processing power so it boots up fast, loads programs fast and handles multitasking very well. It comes preinstalled with 4GB of RAM and is upgradeable to 8GB. Display is a 16″ TFT LCD high-definition widescreen which I tried playing videos with and I can say that the quality was very good, providing clear and crisp images. The built-in Harman Kardon speakers also do a very good job and produce very good audio for a laptop. It didn’t have any problems identifying and connecting to my WiFi network. It’s quite heavy at 6.5 lbs, but this laptop is not designed for portability but rather as a home computer or a desktop computer alternative. It has a glossy metal finish like my Toshiba Satellite A305-S6872, so it can be a fingerprint and smudge magnet but that’s a very small issue compared to all the other features/specs that it has to offer. I also love that it has a powerful High-Capacity Li-Ion 12-cell battery that provides about 6 hours and 30 minutes of battery life.

The Toshiba Satellite A505-S6005’s graphics card is an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator HD which is good for watching HD videos but it’s not built for gaming, although I’m sure you can play some of the earlier game titles without any problems. If you’re looking for something that can play some of the new game titles, you might want to consider the A505-S6025 which comes with the NVIDIA GeForce 310M (512 MB GDDR3).

The only thing I wasn’t able to test was the built-in webcam and microphone. I installed Skype and tried a video call but it was long enough to test the video quality of the webcam and the audio quality of the microphone. Although it has HDMI connectivity, what sucks is that it doesn’t have Bluetooth or a Blu-Ray player.

Overall, the Toshiba Satellite A505-S6005 is a very good and affordable mid-sized laptop. I made some comparisons with other mid-sized laptops, comparing price/specs and the Toshiba Satellite A505-S6005 offered the best bang for the buck.

Check out the full product description and specifications of the Toshiba Satellite A505-S6005 here.

Got an Asus Eee PC (netbook) from BestBuy two weeks ago. No, this is not mine but rather my wife’s new “toy”. Previously, she was using my old laptop – the Compaq Presario C714NR but decided to give it to her sister who needed it. The Toshiba Satellite A305-S6872 is my work machine and sharing it would be difficult so we decided to get my wife a new machine. Since she only needs a computer for checking her email, checking her Facebook account, surfing the web and watching YouTube videos, a netbook would be enough. Found one online on BestBuy, an Asus Eee PC 1005HAB on sale for $329. Paid for expedited shipping and got it within 3 days.

Basic Specifications:

• Intel® Atom™ processor N270 (533MHz system bus, 512KB L2 cache and 1.6GHz).
• 1GB DDR2 memory (expandable to 2GB).
• 10.1″ WXGA LED-backlit widescreen display (1024×600 resolution).
• 160GB Serial ATA hard drive (5400 rpm)
• Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 950
• Windows XP SP3 Home Edition
• Built-in 1.3-megapixel webcam
• 3-in-1 digital media reader
• 3 high-speed USB 2.0 ports
• Built-in high-speed wireless LAN (802.11b/g/n)
• Built-in 10/100 Mbps fast Ethernet LAN with RJ-45 connector
• 2.4 lbs. and 1.4″

Additional Photos:

As the in-house desktop support, I had the privilege of playing with it first. The Asus Eee 1005HAB didn’t have much bloatware installed so it took me only a few minutes to install the necessary programs like antivirus, web browser, media player, etc., update Windows and configure other settings. I also replaced the default blue Windows color scheme/theme to a black theme which looks much better and makes the desktop look nicer. Finding and connecting to my WiFi network was a breeze with the Asus Eee 1005HAB.

The Asus Eee 1005HAB comes with 1GB of RAM installed and is enough to run Windows XP but I do plan to upgrade it to 2GB as soon as I order some from Newegg. The WXGA LED-backlight widescreen display is clear and crisp and displayed DVD-quality videos very well. Other features I love on the Asus Eee 1005HAB are the 3 USB ports (love that it has 3 USB ports and love the location of the ports), the 3-in-1 media card reader and the 6-cell lithium-ion battery that can last up to 8 hours.

There were several models that had a bigger hard drive space (250 GB) but had Windows 7 Starter Edition installed so I opted for the one with Windows XP. For those who aren’t familiar, the Windows 7 Starter Edition is very limited – only allows 3 applications running at the same time and you can’t even replace the wallpaper. I regret not getting the $30 WIndows 7 Home Edition upgrade last month.

The only cons with the Asus Eee 1005HAB? The glossy finish around the display/keyboard and the hand rest area are fingerprint magnets and takes extra effort to remove. The other one is that the keyboards are a bit loose and feel kinda cheap. However, these are very minor flaws. Overall, I’m really impressed and I don’t regret purchasing the Asus Eee 1005HAB.

About three weeks ago, I shared with you some of the leaked photos of the rumored Google Phone aka Nexus One that were circulated on Twitter and some exclusive photos from Engadget. Yesterday, in a private press-only event Google officially unveiled the Nexus One touchscreen “superphone”.

“The Nexus One is where web meets phone,”. “It’s an exemplar of what’s possible on mobile phones. It belongs in an emerging category of devices which we call superphones.” – Google vice president of Android project management Mario Queiroz, pictured above.

Technical Specifications:

• Operating System: Android Mobile Technology Platform 2.1 (Eclair)
• Processor: Qualcomm QSD 8250 1 GHz
• Display: 3.7-inch WVGA AMOLED touchscreen, 800 x 480 pixels
• Camera: 5 megapixels, 2X digital zoom
• Video: 720×480 pixels at 20 frames per second or higher
• Band: UMTS Band 1/4/8 (2100/AWS/900), HSDPA 7.2Mbps, HSUPA 2Mbps, GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
• Wireless: Wi-Fi (802.11b/g/n)
• Bluetooth: Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR, A2DP stereo Bluetooth
• Capacity: 512MB Flash, 512MB RAM, 4GB Micro SD Card (Expandable to 32 GB)
• Dimensions: 119mm x 59.8mm (HxW)
• Weight: 130 grams w/battery, 100g w/o battery

An unlocked Nexus One can be purchased for $530, while a subsidized version would cost you only $180 but will require a 2-year contract with T-Mobile. It’s already available for shipping and can be purchased from Google’s new online store. If you’re not on T-Mobile and/or don’t want to open a contract with them, then you can wait til spring when the Nexus One will be made available on Verizon and Vodaphone networks.

Not only does it compete with the iPhone or Palm Pre and other smartphones, the Nexus One is interestingly in direct competition with other Android-powered smartphones/devices like the T-Mobile G1 or the recent Motorola Droid and also against other members of the Open Handset Alliance (OHA). A recent article from PC World entitled – Six Reasons to Not Like Google’s Nexus One mentions about it. This is a very tricky and risky situation and could cause some problems for Google if things don’t work out as planned.

I agree with some of the points mentioned/pointed out in the PC World article that I mentioned earlier. The Nexus One is an awesome phone but if you don’t use much of the Google apps or not really into the Google “cloud” thing then this phone might not be for you.

What do you think about the Google Nexus One? For other iPhone users, would you consider switching to a Nexus One?

The rumored and much anticipated Google Phone, aka “Nexus One” does exist. A few days back, the Internet was all abuzz with this new device from Google. First rumors about this device including the first “leaked” photos came out from Twitter. Cory O’Brien, the person who shared one of the first leaked photos of the Nexus One tweeted this: “Google Phone = iPhone + a little extra screen and a scroll wheel. Great touch screen, and Android.”

The Nexus One will be built by Taiwanese phone maker HTC, running on Google’s Android 2.1 operating system and sold under the Google brand. Based on the leaked photos, the Nexus One looks exactly like the HTC Passion/Bravo which also had some leaked photos a couple months back, except that the former doesn’t have the HTC logo on it. The first ones to test the Nexus One are Google employees who were given units of these new device for testing purposes as stated on their mobile blog:

We recently came up with the concept of a mobile lab, which is a device that combines innovative hardware from a partner with software that runs on Android to experiment with new mobile features and capabilities, and we shared this device with Google employees across the globe. This means they get to test out a new technology and help improve it.

Here are the alleged specs of the Google Phone aka the Nexus One:

• 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor
• OpenGL ES 2.0-capable graphics
• Noise-cancellation chipset
• AM-OLED touchscreen (3.5, 3.7, 4.3 inch?)
• Trackball and no physical keyboard
• 5 megapixel auto-focus camera with LED flash
• Wi-Fi 802.11b/g
• Bluetooth 2.1 EDR
• microSD card
• GPS
• Proximity and ambient light sensor
• Accelerometer and magnetic compass
• FM stereo tuner
• Quad-band GSM/EDGE (850/900/1800/1900 MHz)
• Tri-band HSPA (900/1700/2100 MHz)

And here are some exclusive photos of the Nexus One from Engadget:

Boy Genius Report also has some photos on their website and one has a Nexus One side-by-side with an Android G1, where it shows the Nexus One to be about half thinner than the G1.

The specs aren’t official yet, so we can’t really say if the Nexus One will have all the features to be a strong competitor against the Apple iPhone, Motorola Droid and other smartphones but based on the photos, I can say that its one beautiful and sexy device. As there’s been no official word/statement or announcement from Google about the Nexus One, it’s still unclear whether Google will be selling the Nexus One via retailers/cellphone carriers or directly to consumers and also how much is it gonna cost. Rumors say that it will be sold unlocked and is compatible to T-Mobile and AT&T networks. But based on the 3G support and the previous relationship it has with Google, T-Mobile could most likely get this device exclusively. There’s so many vague details about the Nexus One so I guess the only thing we can do is to wait and see what Google’s plans are for it.

Based on the information and the photos we have about this new device, what can you say about the Google Phone aka Nexus One? Please share your thoughts.

In my previous post, I mentioned about my new “toy” and that it was some sort of gadget. If you guessed that its a cellphone, you’re right but its not the Nokia E52 that I got from the Philippine Blog Awards. I got this gadget as an early Christmas present from my wife. Wanna know what it is? It’s an Apple iPhone 3GS.

When we checked with our cellphone carrier – AT&T last week, we found out that both our lines were eligible for an upgrade so my wife and I both got a 16GB Apple iPhone 3GS. Actually, my wife got hers first and I had no plans of getting one because I just got the Nokia E52. But the next day, my wife surprised me by getting one for me.

As you can see, the home icons are already rearranged/customized. I have moved some of my favorite apps to the front page – Bible, aNote Lite, WordPress, Facebook, TweetDeck, NimBuzz and I’ve also installed a bunch of other apps like Photoshop Mobile, PayPal, Evernote, TwitPict, Google Earth and some games.

It didn’t take me a long time to get used to the interface or figure out how the iPhone works and installing apps/games was a breeze. What took me a while to accomplish was uploading my mp3s as I had to organize and tag them first before I could upload and sync it to my iPhone. I use MediaMonkey to organize and sync music to my wife’s iPod Nano and tried to use it for my iPhone but I found out that I couldn’t have my custom ringtones using MediaMonkey. I was able to figure out a workaround and what I do now is use MediaMonkey to organize/tag my mp3s and then use iTunes to sync all my media files (ringtones, photos, music and videos) to my iPhone.

Now that I have an iPhone, look forward to some posts that are related to the iPhone, iPhone apps and some tips and tricks on using the iPhone.

Anybody else received or will be receiving an iPhone or any gadget for Christmas? For those of you who own an iPhone, what are your favorite apps or games? What other apps can you recommend?

A couple more days before Black Friday, the most awaited day of the year for most if not all shoppers here in the United States. Black Friday is the Friday after Thanksgiving (fourth Thursday of November) which is also the beginning of the traditional Christmas shopping season. For those who are not familiar with what Black Friday is, its the one day of the year where retailers like Best Buy, Walmart, Sears, Target, Macy’s, etc. offer doorbuster deals (very low-priced items designed to draw people into a sale). Because of the limited number and insanely low prices of these products, shoppers camp out a day or two outside these stores just so they can be the first persons to enter once the store opens their doors. Some large retailers even open their stores as early as midnight to accommodate these shoppers, while some open up at 5 AM.

Personally, I haven’t gone shopping on a Black Friday mainly because I don’t want to camp out in front of the store a day or several hours before the store opens up. There’s also the danger of getting hurt in a stampede as there’s been several cases before where people died because of a stampede happening in front of the store entrance during Black Friday.

This year though, I’m tempted to go and join in the fray after I saw a very good deal on external hard drives on two stores – Walmart and Target. I’ve been planning on getting a bigger external hard drive because the one I have now (320GB) is almost full.

Walmart: Western Digital 1TB 3.5″ External Hard Drive – $78.00

Whenever Nikon or other competitors release a new camera model especially in the DSLR market, Canon always manages to come up with something bigger and better. This time, the Canon EOS-1D Mark IV is not only better in terms of specs but its even cheaper than the Nikon D3S.

The Canon EOS-1D Mark IV is expected to be released at the end of the year and estimated body-only price is around $4,999.
