			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last Friday 15th was my birthday and as a present I bought the brand new <a title="Asus Eee PC 1201N Silver" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/joaomorais/4289011716/in/set-72157623113189983/">Asus Eee PC 1201N Silver</a> to replace my old <a title="Acer Aspire 2003 WLMi" href="http://www.blog.joaomorais.com/wp-content/uploads/acer_aspire_2003_wlmi.jpg">Acer Aspire 2003 WLMi</a>. It&#8217;s been a while since I met this notebook, unfortunately new gadgets tend to take some time to be commercialized in Portugal, and this one wasn&#8217;t different, although it isn&#8217;t quite new in other countries, here it&#8217;s only available since middle December 2009 and it&#8217;s not yet available in big stores.</p>
<p>For those of you who don&#8217;t know anything about this netbook yet, below is the list of specs that are commercialized in Portugal (in other countries there are differences in Memory and Storage specs).</p>

<p>With this new acquisition I was only missing an external monitor and a keyboard to complete my <a title="Docking Station" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/joaomorais/4289011696/in/set-72157623113189983/">docking station</a>. Knowing this, my girlfriend offered me an <a title="HP w2216v Product Specifications" href="http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01489682&amp;lc=en&amp;dlc=en&amp;cc=us&amp;product=3758038&amp;lang=en">HP w2216v</a> monitor, which is really nice, great design, very shiny and it&#8217;s colors match perfectly with <a title="Asus Eee PC 1201N Silver" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/joaomorais/4289011716/in/set-72157623113189983/">netbook</a> colors.</p>
<p><strong>HP w2216v</strong><br />

<p><a title="Mini Eee PC MK Plus Keyboard" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/joaomorais/4289011696/in/set-72157623113189983/"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-704" title="Mini Eee PC MK Plus Keyboard" src="http://www.blog.joaomorais.com/wp-content/uploads/minimkeeepc.jpg" alt="" width="139" height="57" /></a>At the moment I&#8217;m very happy with all these new gadgets. Unfortunately the only turnoff about this <a title="Asus Eee PC 1201N Silver" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/joaomorais/4289011716/in/set-72157623113189983/">netbook</a> is that by default it brings Windows 7 leaving you without other options, so I had to spend a couple of minutes installing the latest version of <a title="Ubuntu Home Page" href="http://www.ubuntu.com/">Ubuntu</a>. After that everything is working fine, and till now I&#8217;m very happy with it.</p>
<p>If you want you can see a couple of photos of my new gadgets <a title="Asus Eee PC 1201N Silver" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/joaomorais/sets/72157623113189983/">here</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-438" title="Samsung S7330" src="http://blog.joaomorais.com/wp-content/uploads/samsung-s7330.png" alt="Samsung S7330" width="147" height="110" />Last Friday I was presented with a new cellphone, a <a title="Samsung S7330 Specifications at GSMArena" href="http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_s7330-2487.php">Samsung S7330</a>!</p>
<p>Although my old <a title="Motorola v980 Specifications at GSMArena" href="http://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_v980-898.php">Motorola v980</a> still works, this was a very nice gift from my friends, Paulo Roberto and Carla Sofia. It&#8217;s new features brings a breath of fresh air to my mobile activities.</p>
<p><a title="Samsung S7330 Specifications at GSMArena" href="http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_s7330-2487.php">S7330</a> seems to be a nice cellphone it has a nice and clean look, mine is Noir Black which makes it very bright and shiny, it&#8217;s software menus are very intuitive and functional. It has an adaptable touch navigation panel which is multi-functional because it adapts himself to what we&#8217;re viewing on the main screen.</p>
<p><span id="more-423"></span>It&#8217;s also unlocked and equipped with an 1GB microSD card which allows me to install a lot of applications, games and musics. I&#8217;ve already installed <a title="Arkanoid running on cellphone" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBr2NRHOGJg">Arkanoid</a> one of my favorite classic games.</p>
<p>Although it is a <em>closed-source </em>cellphone it behaves very well and with a couple of tweaks you might be able to perform a few tasks that are locked up by default.</p>
<p>Comparing with my old cellphone this was a great upgrade and till now I&#8217;m very happy with it. You can watch a full video review in <a title="Samsung S7330 video review" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fX69fFIU9k">here</a> and a 360º flash application that allows you to rotate the phone in 360 degrees <a title="360º degrees flash application on GSMArena" href="http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_s7330-3d-spin-2487.php">here</a>.</p>
