If These Pants Could Talk!

240x180

I love to wear pants. Well, of course, because I am a guy. The first pair of pants that attracted me will be Dockers mobile pants. It is the number of pockets that attracted me. The pants have several pockets and basically targeting consumers who have several gadgets. Sometimes, it is really hard when you want to bring several gadgets altogether while dismissing the idea of taking a bag with you.

Basically, the pants consist of some hidden pockets and can be accessed from the front pockets. It is amazing when you think that you can fit PDA, mobile phone, PSP, wallet, and loose change in just a pair of pants. Most importantly, I do not feel uncomfortable having all the gadgets in just a pair of pants and everything fit nicely.

Well, it may seem weird to you but I do not quite like the idea of carrying a bag around. What’s more? It is wrinkle-free.

Hmm… if the pants have feelings, it should be quite happy being with me. I have fully utilised it and fed it with the gadgets I have whenever I go out with it. If it could talk, I would be more than happy for it to let me know when I get new emails or mobile calls because sometimes, I tend to miss calls while I am walking because the sound of my mobile is not loud enough to be heard when I am walking.

If you have your own stories about your favourite pants, why not share it by creating it as a video and submit it to Dockers contest and have the opportunity to have it published during The Tonight Show at NBC!

GTA IV out now …

I have been busy today. First of all, my work keeps me busy all the time. Then, I am changing My Ideas 4 You appearance once again. Hmmm… I kind of love the look at the moment. Who knows, I might be changing it again in the next few months. There are also a few changes which I would like to make on my blog. So, I guess that I will not be publishing any articles at the moment except updating some interesting stuffs which I encounter daily.

This morning, when I reached Festival Place, there were a few people queuing outside Zavvi. Well, when the store opened, it will start selling the latest Grand Theft Auto IV. I love the game but not that obsessed.

GPS tracking on Google Maps

GPS tracking systems are getting more and more popular. A lot of cars are come with built-in GPS and newer mobile phones are able to make use network service provider transmission plus GPS tracking software and have the abilities to render map online.

Thus, we have heard about car tracking system and navigators. How about tracking of small but valuable items, people and the likes? GTX Corp is bringing the idea and concept of converging satellite tracking technology with consumer products. In other words, you are able to trace virtually anything that you want with their miniature GPS unit that can be tracked real time on Google Maps.

Due to the tiny size of the GPS Tracking Unit, wearers could hardly notice the existence or the weight of the unit. Whenever you and your family go for holidays, there are always worries about the children, the elderly as well as valuable items at home. Children and elderly might get lost in crowded places. Valuable items can be tracked while away from home as well.

The development does not end here because the concept is to apply almost everything to make them trackable. Users can specify a perimeter where an alert will be sent automatically when the device is outside the perimeter specified.

With this innovative creation by GTX Corp, people feel safe because they are able to track their belongings.

Two legged carrot …

The sun is still shiny at the moment and it is almost 1900 already. However, the sky is dark. It rained just before I was about to finish work. And it stopped when I was about to left my office. Overall, it only rained for like 5 minutes. Funny indeed.

M3 Real or R4DS? …

A Little Bit of Explanation
M3Adapter is one of the manufacturers that designs and produces professional flash cards for Nintendo DS and Nintendo DS Lite. Its products include M3 SD, M3 miniSD, M3 Lite, M3 DS Simply and M3 DS Real.

R4DS works the same except it only offers a basic package. So, why do I need M3 or R4DS? There are more and more brands in the market that produce different types of flash cards but with the same function; to support DS or DS Lite with downloaded ROMs. In other words, you do not have to buy games if you can find the ROMs.

Both M3 and R4DS are incorporated with memory card which enables the ROMs and save files to be stored and played by DS or DS Lite.

Before this, I had been searching for articles and reviews that compare these two products but there were no solid evidences or considerable opinions as to which one is better because they all commented that both are manufactured by the same manufacturer and have the same functions. Thus, I decided to publish my own opinion on how I choose between the two similar products.

As mentioned, there are other brands in the market but I chose to shrink my selection to only R4DS and M3 Real because they are considered the pioneer in producing flash cards for DS and DS Lite. Eventually, I bought M3 DS Real Rumble RAM pack after much consideration.

M3 DS Real
M3 DS Real is sold in three different packaging; M3 DS Real Perfect Bundle, M3 DS Real Rumble RAM Pack and M3 DS Real Rumble Pack. Initially, I was confused about these three packages but after much searching, I found an article about the differences. The perfect bundle includes the Rumble RAM pack and supports GBA ROMs with Slot-2 expansion cards. The Rumble RAM pack supports additional RAM which is required for internet browsers while the Rumble pack does not support internet browsers.

R4DS
R4DS is less complicated. Even though it supports Slot-2 expansion cards, the manufacturer sells it as it is which is without Slot-2 expansion cards package. In addition, all the resellers do not seem to sell individual Slot-2 expansion cards and only M3 DS Real packages that are included Slot-2 expansion cards.

Why I choose M3 DS Real?
I believe the differences between the two are not many. M3 DS Real supports the latest SDHC version of microSD while R4DS only supports normal microSD. The capacities range of SDHC card is from 4GB to a maximum of 32GB whilPe tPhe normal microSD is only up to 4GB. Even though, I am using 2GB normal microSD, I feel that it is quite important to purchase something which is able to support future technology.

The Slot-2 expansion cards are extras and I chose Rumble RAM pack because I may be tempted to try Nintendo DS Lite browser feature in the future. I do not have any old GBA cartridges and I believe that GBA expansion card is not useful for me.

M3 Real Rumble RAM Pack
This package comes with a card reader, Slot-1 M3 DS Real flash card and Slot-2 Rumble RAM pack expansion card. The Slot-1 card is not as solid as it claimed. I am quite worried when I have to take it out from Nintendo DS Lite to copy some files into it. Even though I have read some users comments that they have problems with their M3 DS Real, I do feel that it is their memory card which is causing problems to M3 DS Real.

When I first bought my PSP, I purchased a 4GB Sony MMC from Amazon marketplace because it was very cheap. However, it was the so called fake memory card. It worked fine if you only copy files but it just did not work with my PSP. Fortunately, I was able to refund it and bought a 2GB Sandisk which works perfectly until now.

The installation of M3 DS Real software is easy; download from the website and drag and drop into the microSD. The menu is simple and easy to use with stylus support. All the ROMs are displayed in the game menu. There is also brightness control which is not available from the original DS Lite menu.

Illegal?
Personally, I do not feel that it is illegal depending on how you manage them. I will buy the games if they are fun to play. However, I will still keep the ROMs because playing games from memory card is faster than playing from the game card. I will then delete the ROMs which I do not own the original game card.

Verdict
Overall, I am satisfied with the package because it does what it meant to be. The quality is not something which I expected with the price I paid. I bought M3 Real based on the compatibility with SDHC and also the support for internet browser feature using Slot-2 Expansion RAM.
