http://blog.mygadgets.hk just another gadget junkie coming from Hong Kong, a city where its peoples are always in pursuit of the latest and coolest gadgets, but not necessarily making any good use of them ...

Now that I have decided to say goodbye to my Nokia N95, I have to fix the volume hard keys that I had broken when I dropped the phone while crossing a street in Osaka last month. That drop is costly as I just found out at Nokia it would cost HK$360 to replace the casings. Fixing the volume keys doesn’t cost though as they couldn’t tell whether it was damaged by me or just normal wear and tear. When I checked out last night with my favourite second hand phone dealer at Causeway Bay without the phone with me, she said she would pay me HK$3,000 for a N95 in mint condition. I wonder if she would consider mine as in mint condition. Well, I guess just as long as the difference is less than HK$360, I will sell it to her. Otherwise, I will try to sell it on eBay and then let the winner to decide whether the case should be replaced. It is a bit annoying that I have to write the description for this photo in a single paragraph. There is no way I can begin a new paragraph in ShoZu. I hope they can improve it in the next version. It would be nice to have built-in spellcheck too. Like TypePad Mobile, it has the same limitation that only one photogragh can be commented for each entry. I can’t insert multiple photographs into the same entry to tell a more “photographic” story. I will have to edit this entry at my blogs after the upload to add additional photos and videos to spice this message up. And, of course, breaking it up into paragraphs.

Haven’t worn a mask in a vey long time. Probably since SARS. This is my first upload using ShoZu which I had only just signed up this morning. I have been trying TypePad Mobile and Yahoo Go on my TyTN II in the last couple of days to upload photos. Both manage to do the basic job of uploading pretty well but they have their own shortcomings beyong uploads. For instance, TypePad Mobile obviously wouldn’t help me to upload to other web services and so is Yahoo Go, which will only upload to Flickr. Since I have accounts on both platforms, it would mean I have to upload twice for every picture I take on my TyTN II. ShoZu solves my problem by offering to upload a photo together with description and tags to not just Flickr and TypePad, but almost all the web 2.0 services, like wordpress, YouTuve and Facebook. This is what a call a killer app. It also means I can remove two programs from my TyTN II to save space
