I bought iPhone 3G, iPod nano, and MacBook in recent months. Using degital gadgets is so fun for me. But before using, we seek information about what we're going to get. At this stage, Testfreaks gives us useful information.

If you are divided between iPhone and Touch Diamond, Freak Score would be helpful. iPhone got 9.1 and Touch Diamond got 8.9.

Testfreaks gives not only scores but many other contents like reviews, WikiFreak Description, specs, and lowest prices. Testfreaks is a base for gadget freaks.

Now I read Nikon D700, Sony DSLR-A900, and Canon EOS 5D mark II. They have 35mm full size sensor and this three cameras are candidates I would like to buy next.

I got MacBook last week and started using yesterday.

MacBook

This is the left side of MacBook and IEEE 1394 port has gone. I'm using Cinema Display 20" for MacBook display and its cable have DVI, USB, and IEEE1394 connectors. They are bundled in the one cable. So IEEE 1394 connector has nowhere to go. It's awkward.

New MacBook

I've ordered new MacBook just now. I can get one at the end of this month!

Sigma SD15 Announced

Sigma announced SD15 as a successor of SD14 in Photokina 2008. The SD15 is a 14 megapixel (2,652x1,768x3 layers) digital SLR camera with the "TRUE II" new image processing engine, which is the newer version of the "TRUE" engine incorporated in DP1, Sigma's compact digital camera.

I'm a user of SD14 and like its color reproducibility. Foveon X3 sensor which consist of three layers of censors is great in this point. The SD15 has this sensor and the "TRUE II" engine. So I'm looking forward to this camera.

I went to Nikon Digital Caravan, where we can try out Nikon D90. I could saved photos on my SD card and below is a photo I took with D90.

D90 is a great camera, which has the almost same sensor of D300. At the same time, it is the first camera which is able to record videos. This is the video I took with D90 today.

New iPod nano

I got new iPod nano. I have never used a iPod family product. This is the first time I own iPod.

At first, I was going to buy a yellow one, but I picked up a black one. The color of yellow I saw in the store was different from what I expected. I wanted a brighter one than it.

Opera 9.5 Released

Opera 9.5 was released! Download it!

I can't play music on imeem with Opera 9.5 RC Windows version. I can play with OSX version. Is this a problem on Imeem? By the way, an embeded player does work with Windows version (and, of course, with OSX version).

Pre-order iPhone 3G

Today I pre-ordered iPhone 3G. I don't know if I can get one on July 11, but pre-ordering is better than nothing.
