- transform your icon on instant messaging software, by putting a hat on your picture

I Got a New PDair Leather case for my Eee 701
I was able to place an order for a PDair leather case the other day at SilieNation, and now I have it. It’s not actually a new thing for netbooks to have, but it’s still cool. I feel that my netbook is more protected and more practical. Imagine you don’t have to carry along extra pouch just to place spare SDHC. Right?
I compared the price at SilieNation and PDair, and I saved about $10 for the item. I just need another $22 and you can also have one.
I think we’re gonna give away one on March. Let’s just hope that our Paypal funds get some increase despite the economical state , and we promise it’s all yours. Just watch out.
That’s how generous we are in terms of giving away stuffs, as long as we can.

Oh my blog is back
This blog was down last Saturday and was brought up just yesterday. The server had a serious problem, out of my control, and not sure what took it so long to revive it. How I wish there was a backup server that should have kept this blog and other blogs and sites hosted on the server running.
Well, that’s just one of the many downtimes this blog had. Worse thing is that my brains kind of stopped functioning already and cannot compose a good article for this blog. I need some rest I think.
Netbook Updates
Netbook News
Gigabyte, a company that specializes in motherboards, graphic accelerators, mobile and handheld communication devices has new plans in the coming year. The company has introduced a couple of Gigabyte netbooks in the last few months already, which stood out among other netbooks with its convertible-to-tablet design. DIGITIMES, one of the most reliable tachnology update website, says that the company is now focusing on increased performance on their motherboard segment, including plans to launch three more netbooks in the coming year that feature 3.5G module, for added mobility. Gigabyte is said to clear their inventory this 2008, to anticipate economic crisis impact in the beginning of 2009.
In Germany, Lenovo IdeaPad S10 makes a big hit as it comes along with a 6-cell battery. It is also now the most affordable 10 incher netbook in Germany for only 329 Euros. Lenovo IdeaPad S10 usually only comes with a 3-cell battery in other countries. Brad Linder says that the 6-cell battery doesn’t look perfectly good, but the doubled battery life should pay off. He also includes that 6-cell batteries are now also available in the US for an additional $50 USD on the base price.

MSI 3G Plans
MSI Wind U120 will be launched in the coming days, and while 3G module is expected, MSI is also going to negotiate with telecom providers to increase bundled sales. – Digitimes. Same has been tried before, bundling the netbooks with external broadband modem. In the Philippines, Globe and Smart Telecoms had different campaigns for Asus Eee PC, however, I have not heard about their successes. Consumers seem to be not satisfied with the pricing, as I learn from some blogs and forums.
Now I have no idea what will telecoms do with their pricings when 3G module already comes with the netbook itself. I suggest they do the same as the mobile service plans they currently have, where they charge monthly service fee, and the unit comes free… Or at lesser prices depending on service plans.
I’m actually exited for this, and I’m gong to consider getting one for me. Shall this come true before christmas?
