For many years people try to replace books and convert it into technology. We initially had the ebook readers from Sony, then the popular Amazon Kindle. Now we’re starting to have the Apple iPad.
The first two devices mentioned focus more on the principal function which was for reading. The Apple iPad had more to offer with its applications which was rather similar to the iPhone.

Windows 7 launch in Cebu
Windows 7 for all ages.
Yesterday November 21,2009 is the official launching of the much awaited Windows 7 in SM City Cebu North wing Cyberzone.
Although I didn’t really receive a blogger’s invitation for such an event (I doubt that there are any real techy event invitations in Cebu apart from the ASUS and SM wifi launching events here in Cebu) I decided to go there anyway because it was a free for all event. Upon arriving I was greeted by one of the Windows 7 people and asked to join in their little passport-stamp-quest-win-a-pen kind of thing. I did sign up the form but I never joined the quest thingy.

Asus Eee PC 1005HA vs 1008HA: The Seashell battle
So with the rise of the two seashell netbooks, we would like to ask, which is better? The 1005HA or the 1008HA?
The following answers will not be true to everyone so lets start by having a little comparison.
First of all the two are just the same in terms of RAM, processor and the like. The only thing that differs in the two is the size/weight and the battery.
So here are the strengths and weaknesses of 1005HA over 1008HA
1.Battery life: lasts about 10.5 hours while 1008HA is about 7-8 hours
2.Size/weight: slightly heavier and bulkier compared to 1008HA
3.Battery: you can remove the battery, while 1008HA is built in
So coming into consideration:
-if you are a student and you need a netbook for long hours of use, then the 1005HA is for you
-if you only plan to use the netbook for a couple of hours then the 1008HA is for you
-if you can’t handle a couple of inches bulk and a few hundred grams more weight, then 1008HA is for you
-if you are conisdering long hours of usage or movie watching then 1005HA is for you
-price wise the 1008HA is around 2K php more expensive than the 1005HA.
