Never buy smartphone from poor support manufacturer!!! Yup, LG Optimus 2X, the world’s first dual-core Smartphone is still powered by Android 2.2 Froyo. Not getting Android 2.3 Gingerbread update yet. And official no Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update also…

I still remember that my first mobile phone was a monochrome and with very less pixels. However, the LCD technology really improves a lot. We have lot of variety of mobile phone display resolution right now. There are 128 x 128 pixels, 128 x 160 pixels, 176 x 208 pixels, 176 x 220 pixels, 240 x 320 pixels (QVGA), 240 x 400 pixels (WQVGA), 352 x 416 pixels, 320 x 480 pixels (HVGA), 480 x 640 pixels (VGA) and 480 x 800 pixels (WVGA). And most of them have the capability to surf Internet. The largest resolution the better when browsing Internet. You don’t need to zoom in and out every time.

My PDA ~ HP iPAQ rz1710 Pocket PC

HP iPAQ rz1710 Pocket PC is my personal digital assistant. It is my first PDA and I am still using it currently. It has been with me for 5 years. Woo… That’s a long year for a PDA. We have lot of interesting PDA phone / smart phone nowadays like the famous Apple iPhone, HTC Touch series, LG KM900, T-Mobile G1, BlackBerry Curve 8900 and more… Why I did not upgrade my humble HP iPAQ rz1710 Pocket PC to anyone of them? Hmm… It is still working (I changed the battery once). And I don’t have reason to replace it.

Help… My Panasonic TX-32LX75M TV HDMI cannot work with PC. The story goes like this… I bought a HDMI cable from Carrefour last month. It was a value HDMI cable. I tried to connect my girl friend notebook BenQ Joybook S42 to the TV with this new cable. However, I failed to get a clear picture on my Panasonic TV. It does not have problem to display at 1366×768 resolution while using PC Mini D-sub 15-pin cable. I have a clear picture. However, it failed when using HDMI cable. By the way, the BenQ Joybook S42 laptop is using Nvidia GeForce 9600M GT display card. I tried different resolutions but still failed. And I don’t believe that Nvidia GeForce 9600M GT is causing the issue. Therefore, I brought my new desktop to the living room to test. I used Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 4870 to test. But the result is same ~ blur text and not sharp at all.

Did have a faulty HDMI cable? Well, I asked my friend to test it for me. And it is working on his TV. So it is not Carrefour value HDMI cable issue…
