Surf the Internet from Your Car- Even Without a Laptop
We know of small TVs installed on cars so passengers can watch their favorite movies while traveling. Recently though, some drivers are even able to read blogs and visit their favorite websites by merely sitting inside their car — even without a laptop.
According to allworldcars. com, some car companies now offer their clients the ability to surf the internet in their car and that is even without a laptop. The software used for this technology is reportedly already released and drivers of laptopless internet able cars can just select a url from their list of stored web pages and sites and the desired page will be displayed.
See how this works:

Drivers should of course surf the net only when their car is stationary. Everyone knows about the dangers of texting while driving and people who drive and surf the internet all at once are likely to suffer from undesirable consequences.
Honestly though, I find this technology quite redundant. Why pay for such feature when you have a laptop that you can use to connect to the internet regardless where you are? This technology may not even be available to all new car san diego.

Price of Iphone 3G in the Philippines
Updated August 9: The official price of globe for the 3G iphone plan is as follows:
The prepaid price of the 8GB 3G iphone is P41,899 and and the 16GB costs P48,899.
Those who want to avail the iphone from Globe may reserve for it now as the release date in the Philippines is scheduled August 22. Those who want to pay for the iphone through 0% 12 month installment may use the Citibank and HSBC credit cards. Check out the globe site for more details.
I was checking the philmug forum today and I realized the iphone 3G may not be much cheaper than the first generation iphone. The speculated price of iphone 3G in the Philippines by some of the forum posters is between 20 to 25 thousand pesos. The price may even reach as high as 30 thousand pesos for those who want to purchase the new iphone under prepaid plans.
The US market price of the new iphone starts at 199 dollars but this will be under a contract with AT&T. The iphone 3G will be officially released by Globe Telecoms and will be made available for both prepaid and postpaid globe users. Knowing how expensive cellphones from Globe are, I am not yet sure if I can afford to buy the new iphone 3G.

Umobile cannot send text messages to Globe numbers
My husband tried to send me a message using his newly received umobile sim card yesterday but the message did not reach me. He sent a message to his bestfriend and the dude got the message. Hubby’s friend is using a smart sim card, I am using a globe number. It seems that Umobile cannot send text messages to Globe subscribers. We tried sending messages to my globe number for the second and third time but no message ever arrived in my cellphone so I guess there is a “blockade” between globe and umobile which I believe is powered by the smart mobile network. I am not sure if I am the only one who experiences this but hopefully this will be fixed soon. More»
