“If you are not willing to learn, no one can help you. If you are determined to learn, no one can stop you.”
Constant communications with clients like meeting, project coordination, email exchange or simple coffee chat are usual routine for me in a week. There were times I will assist them buying their hardware or gadgets even they know I am their software consultant. Well, clients are like that, once you know computer, they think you know everything about it. I am quite doomed with this. Because of fast tract tech updates, sometimes learning a new gadget is an added stress to me. Maybe because of so many things in mind that I like to prioritize that learning this new hip in technology can add to my time.
This is the reason why all of a sudden I attended a bloggers’ night that tackles about different tech gadgets that clicks to the market. Maybe if someone will present and demonstrate the products to me personally, I can understand it more rather than reading and researching. I can have also a full glance and hands-on experience the benefits of why I have to purchase one which is beneficial to me and to my clients.
Actually, I did not get many pictures during the event. Why? Because I was devoting myself going from one table to another, reading the specs, asking questions and listening. Maybe in this point in time, I just decided to absorb what I can get.
Here are some of the products that captured my attention:
- Archos Android Tablets are three years experience in internet tablets. Latest was the G9 series that use the Android Honeycomb powered with Google’s suite of Android Applications. Archos is also known with its price affordability that captured my attention compared to other price of other tablets.

I have heard a lot of this new Asus netbook because of versatility. Some of my participants in the training even recommended me this gadget. When I got to saw and heard the demo during that night, I realized they were right. A 2-in-1 Asus Android netbook which can be an independent pad or docked with the fully functional keyboard like a traditional notebook. Price is almost P 30k if I am not mistaken.

- SanDisk
I don’t know if this is the first memory card but I have this brand that I use for almost five years as far as I remember in my first ever point and shoot camera. I got my first memory stick way back also with this brand. I am satisfied customer because until now even I did not use them already, I made them as a back-up of my files. When my son checked the old files, still, they were there. Durability tested, I may say.
During the event, got to be oriented with their latest product – the SanDisk Memory Vault designed for 100 years data retention, reliability and durability to 8GB and 16GB.
