Philips To Launch GoGear LUXE Mp3 Player With Bluetooth Connectivity

Philiphs’ GoGear LUXE new MP3 player could easily get into those mediocre DAPs category, with only 2GB of flash memory, the usual FM tuner, a one-line LCD screen and a scant 10 hours of continuous music play. But the facts prove different, with the cool diamondback cover, first-rate music quality and the built-in Bluetooth 2.1 headset, that provides 100 hours of standby time and the automatic pause feature, whenever a call comes in. Priced at S$139 ($92), this cool device is about to hit the streets of Singapore next month, and the rest of Asia, later on.

Asian Blogger Reviews a Fake iPhone VS. a Real iPhone - Can’t Handle The Touchscreen With Her Fingernails

This is a very funny video of a popular Singaporean blogger, named Wendy Cheng, who’ve been tricked to review an iPhone device, turned to be a fake clone. Seems she preferred the counterfeit piece that has a stylus support rather than the real deal, but she has a point stating the male designers should consider female needs. As for the results - real iphone gets only mediocre grade and a “fucking shitty” touchscreen, while the fake device gets a “not bad for a shitass China phone”.
