GVmobile PocketBrush Review

PocketBrush is a great little application which has great capabilities to let the photographers do photo-editing on the go. It is always great if we are able to edit our pictures before emailing them or MMS-ing them to our friends when we are out of the house.

The PocketBrush cab weighs only 324kb but it packs a lot of features.

Following is the inteface of the PocketBrush. It however does not make use of the soft keys. I personally think that such applications actually do not need soft-key support as we would obviously be using the stylus to do most of the stuff in case of a photo editing application.

Asus EEE PC will have 3 segments: Ultimate, PRO Fasion and Casual

According to the Engadget,

Asus will soon be offering around 23 models(!) for the consumers.

  • Ultimate: Slim and Light:: These would bring in great competition to the MacBook Air and Lenovo U110, both of which fall in this category
  • PRO Fashion: Precise, Mature and Fancy Touch:: This basically includes some variants of the EEE PC 1000. However, T101 is new there and nothing is known about it
  • Casual: Young, Vivid and Eye Catchy::This includes what we have at the moment. It includes 700 series; 900 series and 1000 series. So, nothing new here? Yes, there is. It talks about the hard-disk version of the 700 series and 30GB SSD version of the 900 series

Personally, I’m looking forward to hear more about S101 and S91. I want to know what is the ultimate range all about. I hope it does not come up as fluke as iMate Ultimate range. Anyone remember all the promises they made and what they came out nearly 2 years later!?

Installing or Upgrading RAM in the ASUS EEE PC

The 700s(this includes 700 and 701) come with just 512MB of RAM. You may wish to upgrade the RAM in near future especially if you are using XP on it.

Let me clear facts about the RAMs before we install a new RAM module in ASUS EEE PC 700:

  • The RAM in 8G vesion is not upgradable
  • 2G-Surf versions are not upgradable as the RAM is soldered
  • Black 4G-surf versions have RAM access cover. White ones don’t have it
  • Warranty won’t get void if you do a RAM upgrade
  • ASUS won’t be responsible if anything goes wrong when you’re doing a RAM upgrade
  • In Xandros(with which it actually comes with) is hard-coded to recognize upto 1GB of RAM
  • So even if you put in a 2G RAM module, only 1GB will be visible in Xandros

Here are the pictures:

1) Carefully remove the “ASUS” sticker from the RAM access door*. Put it somewhere else so that you can put it again later on incase you want to send it back to Asus in case of some problem.

2) Remove the screws. Take extra care of the ‘holders’ of the RAM chip.

3) Gently, remove the RAM

4) Put in a new RAM. Make sure the holders are correctly placed

Calender application has 5 views: agenda, day, week, month and year. To quickly switch between the views of the calender application, make sure you have assigned the calender application to one of the hardware buttons*.

Google Sky hiding something from us. What could that be?

Google Sky is an application which lets you take a look at the sky above. It is something like having a powerful telescope in your computer.

When I heard this news which is about Google sky, I thought the writer must be kidding. I surmised why would the Google do that? Well, I decided to find it out myself. Go to 5h 53m 27s, -6 10′ 58″.

Click on the image to see the high quality version(PNG format)

“Pictures speak louder than the words”. Right? Anyway, what can it be? Planet X is what comes to my mind.

*I was on the EEE PC at that time and that is the reason for  the 800 x 480 resolution.
