Tomorrow's Technology

The development of technology in Korea is so rapid that the cellphone or digicam you bought just a few months ago is already obsolete.

Korea is one of the leading export-country for highly-sophisticated tech gadgets. While the rest of the world is still fascinated with cam-phones, Korea has already several new toys. The tech trend today is the fusion of several features and functions into one electronic gadget.

My hubby's  phone is a multi-function one, something that fits a busy businessman. It's a cam-phone with an MP3 + an internet banking system. My husband can electronically send money and check bank balances through his phone.

Two days ago, he got me the hottest electronic gadget on the market. He bought an i-station. It's an MP3 + DMB + PMP + PDA + Navigation, all in one. Let me tell you what those acronyms stand for.

1. PDA -- the pocket pc, we all know this.

2. Navigation System -- it's an electronic map, a gadget for cars

3. MP3 player -- the mini-audio player that replaced portable cd's. Cellphones in Korea all have a high-definition digicam and an Mp3.

4. DMB -- a function that allows you to watch tv programs on your cellphones wherever you go. It's the first of its kind in the world. So cellphones in the local market have a digicam + Mp3 + DMB.

5. PMP -- is the latest in technology in Korea and the very first in the world. This is a portable multi-player, you can upload movies here from the internet and you can watch it wherever, whenever. 

Digital cameras today have an MP3 feature. I think the coolest and newest digicam on the market today is the Samsung #11 PMP. This is a digital camera with a PMP + MP3. I want to get one. For the meantime, my digicam will do . Besides I've a new toy to enjoy...hihihi

good for you! i want to see it. who knows i might want it, too. you know me, whatever i want i get he, he, he. kaya lang baka sabihin mo gaya- gaya ako tulad ng iba. kasi pag may makita akong cool na bagay i really want to possess it no matter what because it's cool and who doesn't? am i right? britney spears nga, she stopped one lady on the street wearing a beautiful t-shirt and asked her where she bought it.for broad-minded people, they don't care as long as you have the money to buy, why not? but the problem about some filipinos they are so narrow-minded. i think they don't have any other things to do than to think negatively about other people.
by the way,let me see your toy one day and i want to buy one for my SUV, although i have a portable dvd
already but as you've said it's already on the edge of being 'passe'he, he, he. i want new ones. well, it's been a while since i blogged. i'm a little lazy doing things lately. i'll just read your blogs. don't stop blogging new information because you are the smart one besides you are sorrounded with people your equal.ok? clue me in whatever, whenever.
till here my dear i have to go to work now. ciao!

I highly recommend it. It's a smart buy. If you buy separate items you'll end up spending more. Oh, you can save a few extra bucks if you buy online. (Korean online malls). ^..^

I'm not a jet-setter but I feel flattered when people follow my lead. hehehe ^^

Technically, we are all copy-cats of trend-setters. That's a good thing because it keeps the commercial circulation of goods going.

that's my girl. can easily comprehend. iba talaga ang may talento. nakakaunawa sa lahat ng bagay.(^_^)

hey, cool gadget. sosyalin ka cuz. aw, love ka talaga ni kuya. take care of each other always! :)

it's quite a while since i opened my computer because of my son's upcoming exam. actually they started their exams today and it will be finished next week. how i wish i could meet you. tell me when you're free. till then!
