When my husband bought his iPhone, I never really understood why he had to spend that much just for a mobile phone. Of course, I later learned it’s not just a mobile phone you can use to send SMS or call friends, or even connect to the world wide web. In fact, it’s more than what I thought it was when I was slowly learning how to use and enjoy it, especially the various applications that goes with it.

Speaking of iPhone applications, early this morning I was browsing the web while on a free time at work and I happen to come across another interesting application for iPhones called WeReward, a new mobile application that lets you earn points and cash, all at the same time.

To find out more about this application, simply go to WeReward.com. From there you may Download the App and be one of the first to try it.

This mobile application is guaranteed easy-to-use once able to download it from an iTune store thru your iPhone, and then link it to any of your social networking account, say Twitter or Facebook. Now if you’re guessing whether or not earning points in this application can get quite complicated, then hear this out: points can be earned either via check ins or completing a task. What’s more, you can also get points via referrals.

Below is a great video I’d like to share to better understand how WeReward works, and believe me, when you’re done watching it you’d find another good reason to stick to your beloved iPhone.

If you are, then you might want to check 500gb hard drive, which carries a wide selection at its lowest price. Why go for something with less data storage if you can get a bigger one for the same price? See, my husband is so into this kind of thing so I’m thinking that maybe this one’s gonna be a nice gift idea for him without spending too much…yipeeeeeeee!

One of the major things I love to do during social gatherings or when I’m on a trip, is taking pictures. And I love it even more when I can easily upload those captured memories in my Facebook account to share with friends and family.

This could have been fine, except that sometimes it’s too much of a hassle when I misplace the card reader I frequently use to upload pictures or videos.

Two days ago, I came across this dilemma once more. I couldn’t locate my card reader and I couldn’t wait to upload and see the pictures taken during the Christmas holidays. Really, it was very annoying when something like that happens and pictures stay still in the camera, when I could have shared it to my sisters who have kept bugging me about their pictures so they can upload them to their Facebook account, too.

I was just about to give up when I heard about this new innovation that could make you go wireless in transfering photos and videos from your camera to your computer.

I’m talking about Eye-Fi . The idea is simple, memory card plus a wi-fi, and you get a super easy and convenient way of uploading pictures from your camera to your computer without sweating a thing. Simply, turn your camera on and you get your images flying out where you want them sent.

To give you more details about this newest and exciting innovation, check out the video below:

Geez, I can’t wait to get my own Eye-Fi card and enjoy the easiest way of uploading pictures in my Facebook account.

Alright, first of all, let me just tell you right straight that I am not a very techie person, so I would not go much on the technical specs of this item.

When my husband came back from his 2-week trip in Singapore, he surprised me with Samsung’s recently released N140 netbook. Though I am not so big about owning this kind of stuff, who the heck am I to resist this very stylish and portable gadget!

From what I learned on several reviews on the Internet, N140 is Samsungs new addition to its popular N series, being the more enhanced version of N130, which was released alongside N140.

So, why did Samsung release this pair on the same time when we all know anyone will always go for the superior version? Honestly, I am not sure either.

There’s not a lot of special features in N140 though, because like N130, it comes with a 160GB hard drive and a 3-in-1 card reader. Both also have 10.1-inch LED backlit display, support for WiFi and Bluetooth.

But I surely like the longer battery life of N140, which apparently boasts with an 11-hour power support as opposed to the 7-hour battery life of N130. If you’re like me who does a lot of blogging, I guess this one would really work especially if you’re the outdoorsy type.
