The Dell Inspiron 11z would’ve been a better netbook if it had an Atom processor instead of a ULV Celeron.

A Nokia netbook? Apparently, they’re not content with building cellphones for the world’s population, so now they’re coming up with Nokia Booklet 3G! Sleek–looking piece of aluminum hardware on an otherwise ordinary–spec netbook. But 12 hours of battery life? That’s just like saying your cellphones have five days of standby time!

Even before the official September release of Apple’s Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, someone already has it running on a hackintosh netbook. Will Snow Leopard be more hackintosh–friendly? I sure hope so.

Globe U-CALL
Globe has recently silently offered an unlimited calling promo called Globe U–CALL, allowing for unmetered calls to fellow Globe or TM subscribers. Unfortunately, the service is not available in Metro Manila and is reportedly just for the following provinces:
- Aklan
- Capiz
- Catanduanes
- Guimaras
- Marinduque
- Masbate
- Occidental Mindoro
- Quezon
- Sorsogo
Registration is simple as usual: just send UCALL30 or UCALL100 to 2868. UCALL 30 buys you 1 day unlimited Globe to Globe/TM for just 30 pesos, while UCALL 100 gets 5 days for 100 pesos which comes out to 20 pesos a day. A good deal for sure; too bad it’s not available for us here in Manila.

Globe Free Apps
Now here’s some great news for Globe subscribers: Globe Free Apps!
Globe Free Apps is the telco’s new initiative for its mobile users, aiming to provide a wide range of free mobile phone and desktop applications. Most of the apps are from Globe Labs developers while others are popular ones from all over the web. You’d be wondering, why would Globe Labs launch free apps? In a nutshell:
The vision of Free Apps is to be the showroom of applications developed by members of the developer pool of Globe Labs.
It also aims to promote the developers by providing them a venue to display their products and also allow them to earn from their products through an express commercialization scheme.
Free Apps also aims to provide spice to the everyday subscriber by making available applications for entertainment, productivity and information purposes.
As of now, there’s a handful of useful applications in Free Apps though I wouldn’t be surprised if we see more in the coming weeks. Try them now!
