Cosplaying Kirsten Covers Vapours Classic

by Jay Garrett on February 25, 2010

Ok – I tried sharing this on my Facebook page but apparently there’s some naugtiness in the vid so you have to be over 18.

All I could see was some anime nudity at 0:25, 0:52, 1:25, 2:39 and 3:25.

If you’re innocent (and reading my blog????), at work or under 18 skip past those parts.

This isn’t a bad cover of ‘Turning Japanese’ but it is made more palatable because Kirsten Dunst is dressed up as the “Akihabara Majokko Princess” complete with blue wig, magic wand and cute outfit.

Enjoy :)

Sony Ericsson Vivaz Pro Brings the QWERTY at MWC

by Jay Garrett on February 15, 2010

If the only thing holding you back from owning Sony Ericsson’s HD recording Vivaz is your fear of virtual keyboards – have a look-see at the new Sony Ericsson Vivaz Pro!

The QWERTY board adds a tiny 2.5mm to the Vivaz’s slimline ‘human curvature’ contours, but you do seem to lose some features.

Instead of an 8.1 MP snapper of the Vivaz, the Vivaz Pro gets a shaved down 5.1 number. You still, however keep the lovely 720p HD video recording and a 3.2-inch screen which is a relief! :)

Wi-Fi, GPS and the 3.5mm headphone jack are as should be as is the microSD card slot.

“Having announced Sony Ericsson Vivaz™ in January we are now adding a sister phone that includes a QWERTY keyboard along with the touch screen for a superior messaging and entertainment experience,” said Daniel Sandblom Marketing Business Manager, Sony Ericsson. “Sony Ericsson Vivaz™ pro meets the increased consumer demand for QWERTY devices without compromising on any entertainment features.”

Here’s a quick features listlet:

  • Full slide-out keyboard for faster typing
  • Stay in touch through email, Twitter™, Facebook™, blogging and chat
  • View everything on the 3.2” 16:9 wide touchscreen
  • Capture the action in HD resolution – upload to YouTube via Wi-Fi™
  • PlayNow – immediate online access to applications, games and music.

Sony Ericsson Vivaz™ pro will be available in selected markets from Q2 in the colours Black and White.

I’m hoping to get a grope of this tomorrow.

Well, they’ve opened a new store, from which they plan to sell Android phones from a variety of carriers and manufacturers.

It looks like the eReader tag is going to get as confusing as the Netbook is.
My understanding was that an eReader was an e-Ink sporting tablet-esque gadget whos main purpose was to save me carting magazines, newspapers and a load of paperbacks around with me.
Is the gadgety thing still an eReader when it has a [...]
