As many of you may know, I’ve been nuts about the iPhone. Seeking out every bit of news and rumor across the globe, day or night. MY iTablet and the MY iTablet store is well on the way. I want to send out a special thanks to every single one of my staff members (Ewdi, Chris, Scott, Ahbao and others) for your support (even in my time of madness).

While I will still run MY iTablet, I’m starting to chase another “mythical phone” – the Google Phone (or g-Phone). In my opinion, the Google Phone isn’t going to just be “another cellphone” or attempt to be an iPhone killer. Google’s entrance into the world of the telco is massive, beyond anything we’ve seen (yet). So the idea of a Google phone may someday mean that it’s not in a form that we can touch or hold but the software that drives the device itself. That being said, I’m proud to announce the launch of Google-Phone.com (http://www.Google-Phone.com) - everything Google g-Phone. Armed with a staff of veteran editors, we’re ready to bring you the latest news, rumors and analysis on everything Google wireless.

Consumers check out Panasonic’s 103-inch plasma TV - available this holiday season for $69,999.

JVC has announced the GY-HD250U, an affordable studio-level camera. Of course, it can’t be classified as a studio camera unless it features HD technology, and luckily it does. The unique thing is that the camera offers functionality in both High Definition and Standard Definition, so users who are used to SD won’t have a hard time adapting to the new technology. It’s an overall top notch camera, and as such boasts a pretty heavy price tag. That’s a bummer, but you really can’t blame JVC with all that they’re offering here. (more…)

Big congrats to Justin and the very sexy Julie (shhh don’t tell my wife) at Helio for a successful launch of Helio. I had chance to meet with these fine folks during CTIA 2006 for a briefing about Helio. Helio is a cool network with extra goodies not offered by other carriers. (more…)

Hell freaking yes! It’s worth noting that this price tag doesn’t even include the optional add-ons such as an extended-life battery or a travel case with a built-in keyboard. In my opinion, UMPCs cost nearly as much as a tablet pc and it’s not that portable when you have to lug around all the accessories. I’m a sucker for new gadgets but not stupid enough to buy the first generation of the UMPC! Vincent’s advice for the day – save your hard earned money.

If you have gobbles of cash lying around, run to Best Buy on May 7th and get yourself a Q1. Enjoy it, love it, cherish it…it’ll be the most expensive and over hyped piece of junk for a gadget you’ll ever buy.

P.S. Knock the price down four or five Benjamins and I’ll change my mind(maybe).
