Meizu M8, General Mobile's DSTL1, New Gateway Laptops, Megapixels Aren't Everything

Labels: , , , , , , , ,

The iPhone clone. The Meizu M8 officially went on sale. The 16GB model is actually "out of stock" currently on the official Meizu site. The M8 was already available last week, but it went for around $440 USD and was, pretty much, a beta or a test phone. The M8 looks very similar to the iPhone and they may have got their touchscreen down-pat, since it's stirring up quite a bit of news today.

I've talked about this Android-running General Mobile DSTL1 before and it looks like a pretty hot device. It looks like the device is so shiny (see in picture) that it reflects everything and that could be a bit distracting. This phone is packed with the Android OS, a 5MP camera, 4GB of internal storage, a microSD slot, dual SIM slots and even FM radio. I think this phone looks pretty good, how about you guys? I think the first picture (on the other post) looks better though, cause it's not so reflective, but it also doesn't reveal Android. So, both pictures have their ups and downs.

More laptops? Why not? Gateway has unleashed 2 new models: a 15-inch and a 14-inch, the TC7307u and the TC7306u, respectively. These laptops will start off at a base price of $649.99 USD and will have a wide array of features. These 5.3 pound babies each have "a 1.3 megapixel webcam, WiFi, gigabit Ethernet, a 1,366 x 768 resolution panel, a built-in multicard reader and three USB 2.0 ports. You'll also find a variety of colors, Intel's Core 2 Duo CPUs, a dual-layer DVD writer and a 6-cell Li-ion battery." Personally, i like the red one, but i think a black, silver or white one would also look decent. Go Gateway!

We recently heard about the Sony Ericsson Idou, the full touchscreen phone with a 12.1 megapixel camera. Gizmodo explains why cameraphones aren't exactly better the more megapixels they have. Go to this link to read more, via Gizmodo. It's an excellent read.

I didn't get to blog much last night because i went to the Raptors game. They got owned by the Cavaliers and i got to see Lebron in action again. The last Cavs game i watched, Gibson hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer to win the game. Today was much different. From the 2nd quarter on, the Cavs dominated the game. On a side note, i didn't really have much to blog about, so i didn't really skip any important topics. I thought MWC was going to be more blog post-packed, but it looks like everything was done after the first day. Maybe MWC will end off with a bang. I don't recall seeing Samsung's 12MP cameraphone anywhere yet.
