Philips Micro Hi-Fi System at a steal!

by Penny on May 7, 2008

I’m not a big fan of hi-fi sets but I find this Philips Micro Hi-Fi System (model MCM277) so sleek and beautiful. Its wall-mountable design makes it a clever space saver, too. Not only will you be able to play audio CDs, you can plug in your USB and play MP3 and WMA formats as [...]

A thumbdrive that does back-up for you

by Penny on April 30, 2008

Sandisk came up with a new thumbdrive called the SanDisk Cruzer® Titanium Plus 4GB USB Flash Drive. The unique feature of this thumbdrive is that whenever you save your data into it, it automatically creates a back-up of your data into an online storage. This only happens if you are connected to the internet during [...]

Dog GPS Tracking

by Penny on April 14, 2008

About a month ago I was testing out a GPS device and was impressed by it. Today, I learned about a mini GPS that can be attached to a dog’s collar so that you can track your dog’s whereabouts!
The dog GPS tracking device will come in useful if you let your dog roam the streets [...]

Kitchen gadgets

by Penny on April 7, 2008

I’m not much of a cook. I don’t remember the last time I dished up something, instant noodles excluded. But I’m a big fan of kitchen gadgets. I have many items on my Kitchen Gadget Wish List and I got a feeling most of them will remain wish list items until the day I decide [...]

Sandisk SD card on sale

by Penny on March 14, 2008

One of the greatest bargains I found at Tesco today is the Sandisk 2GB SC card. It normally retails for RM65 but it was on promotion for RM45. Since I’ve got a RM20 voucher, I ended up paying only RM25 for it. That’s more than 50% discount! Now we’ve got an extra SD card to [...]

Easy navigation does it

by Penny on March 11, 2008

I’ve seen GPS at work in South Korea several years ago when we were just beginning to work on monitoring traffic conditions on the road, real-time in the country. I was impressed with it and wondered how long we had to wait before we could install one.
Today, I had a chance to try one out. [...]

Puchi puchi

by Penny on February 24, 2008

Last month I went to Japan for a holiday. Before I left, my colleagues placed their shopping orders for puchi puchi. Puchi puchi in Japanese means bubble wrap. But no, they did not ask me to buy them bubble wraps literally. It’s a new toy in Japan.
The craze for puchi puchi in Japan started since [...]

Multi-Color LED Lightbulb

by Penny on February 20, 2008

How cool is this new multi-color bulb that comes with a remote control? Not only do you get to change the colours from green, blue, red, orange, turquoise, purple and white, you also get to change the transition of the lighting styles.
It retails at $49.90. Quite pricey, in my opinion. But who knows, in time [...]

Sonic Gear iBall Speaker

by Penny on February 13, 2008

I am never a fan of speakers. Speakers are just speakers to me, don’t even bring up the topic of amplifiers and the likes because I’m just not into such audio gadgets. But when I had a peek at the Sonic Gear iBall Speaker system, I was amazed!
It’s simply gorgeous! It’s perfect accessory for an iPod. When [...]

Which iPod do you prefer?

by Penny on February 11, 2008

Making a decision to buy an iPod is not an easy one. Not only because it is a rather costly player, but because there are so many versions and colours to choose from.
I enquired from friends whom I know own iPods and they each gave me different opinions on which is a better buy. Some [...]

High-tech Bling Bling

by Penny on February 5, 2008

I read about this new creation by Philips that combines a thumb drive and a girl’s favourite Bling-Bling. When I saw the picture, the first thing that came into my mind was “This is so Alias!” Doesn’t it look like the kind of gadget that Sydney would use to steal data??
This retails at [...]

Which is a good digital photo frame?

by Penny on November 15, 2007

I’m interested in getting a digital photo frame as a christmas present. I haven’t had the chance to go check them out in the stores. I only managed to browse through the net and look at the pictures and specs. The most valuable were comments and reviews by some owners.
Anyone out there who can provide [...]
