MyPhone will launch their flagship phone on July 26 in the Philippines


If the specs of the front and back cameras does not impress you, the design and material will.  MyPhone in the Philippines, is well known for Quality phones at a reasonable price.  

MyPhone will release their flagship Phone on July 26, with a promo for people to own it by 12 or 24 months credit card installments.  According to them, this phone has 2 years warranty, unlike most phones today that only have 1 yr.

MyPhone has been lagging behind in releasing better specs phone lately, but with this release, they are on the top position to topple other Philippine branded phones like Cherry Mobile and Torque.  

I myself have a cheap phone from MyPhone, and using it and looking at it, I know it's built to last, and worth every penny I paid.  Unlike, the Cherry Mobile brand which does not last long and Cherry Mobile does not care if you have a sub-quality phone, for the cheap price you paid.  I made a mistake buying Cherry Mobile, that phone has a massive crack screen now and even before could not be used for calls, since the ear piece and mic was broken.

The specs of this phone "ICEBERG" is very impressive.  And the object and name has lots of meaning, they say because it's cold or cool.  I say, icebergs usually can be seen as little on the surface, but is massive underneath.

So here are the specs they are posting on social media Facebook:
✓ 5.7 HD IPS Display, Corning Gorilla Glass 2
✓ Android 4.2 Jelly Bean
✓ 1.2GHz Quad-core processor
✓ 16GB internal storage
✓ 1GB RAM
✓ 12-megapixel autofocus main camera with LED flash(BSI)
✓ 5-megapixel front camera
✓ 1080p video recording
✓ Bluetooth / WiFi / HSPA+
✓ Light, Motion, Proximity, Magnetic Sensor
✓ OTG
Very impressive indeed.  Puts my Samsung Galaxy S3 to shame.  I would buy this, if it was bit cheaper.  But the P11,988 promo launch price for this specs is cheap enough.  Plus the credit card installment option is the clincher.  I just want to avoid the crowd, that is why I won't be at the event.  Otherwise, I would have bought one at their nearest store.  I think they don't want the launch event to be a flop, that is why there is this promo during the event.

Really not that bad, you can own an android phone with top of the line specs for only P12,000. An option to pay for it 1-2yrs installment plan.

Sony Rumor: Playstation 4 to be revealed on Feb 20 in the US

There has been reports that Sony will be revealing the new Sony Playstation on Feb 20, 2013.  Way before the usual reveal on E3 event in the US.  It will be available on the consumer market this year, finally a new console after the new Nintendo Wii.  Xbox will not be far behind, they will probably also release their console this year or latest early next year.

I'm curious what the new PS4 hardware will be like, I'm sure it will be expensive on it's first release, and hopefully it will support PS3 games.  Oh, Sony will probably implement the limitation.  A limitation that will only allow the purchased game to be played only on your account, you can't sell that game anymore.  The patent they presented that the purchased games cannot be sold once you installed the game to your account.

Not the first time a game company does that, Blizzard games only work once it is linked to your account, so selling the installer won't mean the one buying it will be able to play it as a game, they have to get a serial key link to their online account.

Will this be the trend?  MS Office will also have a subscription based, Adobe Creative Suite has this option also.  So will we be paying an annual fee just to play (like warcraft or other MMO) or work (MS Office & Adobe CS)?  By the way Microsoft, I'm using Open Office at home, it's free and online I use google docs using my free Google drive to store my documents.

Instead of buying a license to use a software indefinitely, we will now be able to use it for a limited time only.  This will make people go to open source software more.  I know, I'm getting off topic about the PS4 release, but this is related to software license evolution.  Software as a service, great, just great.
