For all my Philippine readers! This is the news you’ve all been waiting for!
iPhone 3G is coming to Manila shores on August 22!
Take a look at their new iPhone plans.
The old mobile plans like GText or GFlex, etc have iPhone plans as well so you might want to check it out here.
Oh, and also, you might want to reserve an iPhone if you’re planning to get!
As for me, the subscriptions sort of made me go, “Eeep!” since they’re waaay too expensive!
The cheapest plan is the GText which is Php 500.00 a month but I would have to purchase the 8GB iPhone at Php 29,000.00 ($644.00) and the 16GB iPhone at P34,500.00 ($766.00). Mighty expensive!
The plans for Pre-paid plans are as follows: 8 GB P41,899 ($931.00) and 16 GB P48,899 ($1086.00). Woohoo!!! So pricey!!!
So much for the $200 iPhone dream ;)

Hahahaha! Who doesn’t, seriously?! *lovey-dovey look* *swoon*
Saw Geeksugar doing a celebrity geek shout-out on David Beckham and I’ve decided to the same.
I mean, seriously, it’s David Beckham, come on! He deserves a space on Gadgenista!
Hahahaha!!! Omigod, I’m giggling like a little girl. *gleeful*
Anyway, did you know that:
- David Beckham endorsed Motorola RAZR2?
- And in recognition of his return to the English side and his 100th Captainship, he received a Gold iPod Touch? Awesome. (See image above)
There’s nothing better than a gadget-loving hottie ;)

It’s the time of the year when rumors about the upcoming Apple products go around and spread like wild fire.
I posted about the MacBook Touch around last week and now it seems like rumors of the iPhone Nano coming out for the holidays is going around again!
I just don’t get it about people’s obsession about making itty-bitty gadgets! For one thing, they’re so much easier to misplace, haha.
Anyway, we just have to sit back and wait for the real thing!

Who here remembers floppy disks? And I’m not talking about the 3.5 inch, 1.44 MB (WOW, 1.4 MB!!!!) disks. Those are actually still quite recent.
I’m talking about the 5.25″ floppy disks! I have a gazillion of these rotting away in our storage room. Haven’t really thought of what to do with them.
But apparently someone decided to turn them into bracelets. Haha. Weird! These supposedly are “flowers” made from recycled floppy diskettes and sewn onto a cotton band.
I mean seriously, who still uses floppy disk drives around here? Seeing a 3.5 inch drive on a computer now seems so alien.
Time For A Poll!

“Aren’t you glad you didn’t line up for hours to get the iPhone 3G?” is probably what some of you guys are saying or thinking right now after taking a look at the image above.
The image above shows hairline cracks on a white iPhone 3G. The thing is, this iPhone has never been dropped. Though the problem seems to be “cosmetic” and doesn’t affect the performance of the iPhone, it kind of IS immensely annoying to see cracks on your gadget! I mean, finger prints are annoying already, what more with cracks??
A number of similar reports have been turning up, so iPhone 3G owners, better have a closer look at your iPhones to see if hairline cracks are forming. It’s more noticeable on the white model but apparently, it’s happening to the black models as well.
Wonder if Apple will recall units because of this problem?

It took me a while to realize these are external HD cases. I thought they were one of those useless but fun USB things that keep you entertained when you’re bored.
Made by two guys from Brazil, these external HD cases are hand-made (assembled), using an acrylic case with dual cooling fans and covered with vinyl wrapper printed with their awesome designs.
If none of their designs suit your fancy, you can always ask them a unique design just for you!
Just a warning, these things don’t come cheap!
Price: $250 without a drive, $400-$600 with a drive
Where to buy: Meninos Shop

I won’t be surprised if someone out there has a huge collection of earbuds for their mp3 players. There’s just so many gorgeous and pretty earphones out there that you just want to collect!
I’m not really fond of earbuds, but I wouldn’t mind getting a V-Moda Vibe for those rare moments that I might use earbuds, hehe.
I’m not really sure about the performance of these buds, so you just have to try them out yourselves. You can read about their reviews here though!
I do, however, give them 5 stars for their sexy, elegant designs and colors.
Price: $101.00

There are rumors of the iPod Nano getting back it’s slim design soon.
The current iPod Nano have those fat designs, to accommodate watching videos. I personally like it. I like tiny, square things, haha!
Anyway, I was just wondering, which of the iPod Nano designs do you like the most?

If you’re the type who likes everything integrated, then you might want to try out this new browser called Flock.
Flock is a social web browser that basically integrates everything from your email, your blog, to your social network of choice (Facebook, Friendster, MySpace, etc), your online photo albums, your news feeds, your videos and all your other multimedia stuff.
It’s actually very easy to use but you kind of have to get used to some menus and partitions on your browser. As for me, I like my browsing area clear and wide.
But I do love how blogging is easy with Flock. Just drag and drop images from your source website to your post! Very convenient!
And if you want a more GLAMorized Flock browser, you might want to get the Flock Gloss Edition which centers on fashion, celebrity news and entertainment!

Not exactly high-tech, but I’m sure you’ll find this little gadget interesting and useful!
I, for one, would love to have one at my home, especially during times when there will be dinner and drinking parties!
The Pour Thing securely holds a beverage container and lets you pour from it in one simple motion – just tilt the container over your cup or glass. - Solutions
I remember the times when we would all get too bleary eyed to pour ourselves a drink and end up spilling a bottle or two, haha.
Where to buy: Solutions
Price: $19.95
