Live from Singapore!
Posted under Trips
I’m in Singapore in my stopover from Sydney to London. My destination is Amsterdam, and one week after that Mexico!
I’ll keep you posted.

iTouch
Posted under IT Channel, Personal
I finally surrendered to all the hype of the iPods and got the iPod Touch second generation. Unfortunately Palm lost the battle is in the process of extinction. Quite bad, we had good times. But let’s welcome the awesomeness of Apple! That little device is finally more than a funny toy that plays music and can do virtually all things my Palm used to do: from watching videos to manage my agenda.
The killer app for me was the electronic book and PDF reader. I like reading books or papers on the go, but I hate carrying all that stuff. I like buying cheap books in the eReader store or reading interesting stuff in PDFs. Now I can carry all the boks and documents I want in a very little space.
One drawback is that the Touch doesn’t work in Linux yet, it hasn’t been jailbroken yet, but it’s good enough so far. I can do more of my stuff wirelessly so no much need to reboot on Windows.
And the other reason to buy the iPod was the price, since I went to the Apple Store on the Black Friday and even better, I’ll get the taxes back at the airport! How cool is that?
