Thoughts about Sony Vaio VGN-UX50.

Well, my thoughts about my newly bought Sony Vaio VGN-UX50.

First impression: "oh wow, this device is rather fat!" lol.

But aside from that, very good expandability, with Memory Stick Duo slot (supports Memory Stick PRO duo), Compact Flash slot, USB 2.0, and a port replicator.

The keyboard is really tiny, wish they had made it a few millimeters bigger, as my hands are too big to really use it well. BUT, I'm getting used to it. Typing with my thumbs will be probably the best method.

There is a microphone plug and stereo out, which is quite good. The fact that it packs in Bluetooth and Wifi in this small device makes me smile.

More thoughts and photos coming soon!

Google Cellphone Case and JAWBONE ERA


Google Cellphone Case and JAWBONE ERA.

I love how JAWBONE ERA supports A2DP on only one side of the ear.
The Google cellphone case was a present to me several years ago.

Speaking of gadgets, I'm planning to get a new toy today which is rather old, but not too old. Keep checking for updates!

Pretty useful if you own the Japanese Wifi cards.

Thanks, Mikey

Different Views on Tech in Japan and USA

Traveling in the USA made me realize how different people here in the USA and back in Japan are about technology.

In Japan, there is a sense of having have to have the latest tech to keep up with people. Many people change cellphones every year, if not every few months. I think people in the USA have more desire to cherish their tech than Japanese people. There is a good and bad side to this, because when the cycle of tech is fast, more products can be made and sold. When the cycle is slower, the tech might get stale and not improve much.
