Nokia N91 Shows Who’s Boss in Music Phone Land
The traffic, the dust, and the smoke-belching jeepneys—the Pinoy’s idea of a mass transit system—could not keep me from making my way to Intramuros once again. Well, partly because almost two-thirds of the way is now covered by the Santolan-Recto LRT, which makes travel almost like a breeze. But mostly because my editor told me I could lay my hands on Nokia’s latest offering, the N91 multimedia-playing smartphone. But there was a catch; the phone would be mine for a week if and only if I would personally pick it up from his office.

Why Use A Notebook Computer?
Why should you use a notebook? Without a doubt, the biggest advantage of notebooks over desktops is their portability and convenience. Notebooks are extremely portable and durable, weighing five to eight pounds. Notebooks can fit in a briefcase and can travel with you on an airplane, or from your office to your living room. Notebooks can also run on batteries so they don't always have to be plugged in. Overall, you'll find that a good notebook has nearly all of the capabilities of a decent desktop, just in a smaller, portable package.
