The Cherry Mobile Orbit is one good entry-level buy: it comes with Dual-SIM card slots, Android Froyo, 3G, and you can turn it into a portable WiFi hotspot as well. It may not have the jaw-dropping specs at a very pocket-friendly price as the Cherry Mobile Magnum, but the Cherry Mobile Orbit is a great Dual-SIM Android phone that has all the basics that the Android user could need – and the capacity to host two SIM Cards at a time, too.

From October 15, 2011 up to October 31, 2011, the CherryMobile Orbit will retail for only Php 6,999, down from its regular price of Php 9,999. Don’t wait for Christmas to get your Cherry Mobile Orbit! You have the chance to do so, at a discount, until the end of the month!

In other news, Torque is also holding a TV Phone sale up to today. You may still be able to catch it!  

For Apple Fanboys and Fangirls, Digital Hub and Citibank also bring you the "Go Insane With Citibank" Apple Product Sale. Buy an Apple Product via Citibank credit, add an Apple Care warranty plan to your purchase, and you get to pay for your Apple machine on installment, for 24 months. 

So what's the big deal with getting an Apple product on 24-month installment? Well, most, if not all machines are sold on credit for a maximum of 12 months via installment plans. An Apple is rather expensive, so even at 12-month installment plans, getting one via credit feels like it'd still cost you an arm and a leg. Getting one on a 24-month installment plan is definitely saner and feels more like buying a PC laptop, with more bang for your buck.

For some items, there will be freebies and accessories, such as a Hisense Bluetooth Headset, a Western Digital My Passport external hard drive, or even both, for some items. Promo will run from October 13 to November 16, 2011.

This seems to be a great month for gadget-a-holics, so take advantage of these bargains as soon as you can!

 He was a tech icon, and the hero of most of the IT industry’s greats.

He was the man who revolutionized computers and how the Average Joe used them; he was the man who saw the potential for regular people to own computers. With friend Steve Wozniak, they took what used to be amachine that could fill the whole room, and turned it into something that every family in America could have. He was the man who envisioned that every family would have a personal computer, just as TV sets were present in every home. He was a man who changed the world in a niche you could hardly call “little.”

Steve Jobs led a remarkable life as a visionary. No one could envision or spot beautiful machines as sharply as he can. He knew what makes a machine an art form, and with this, he steered the company that brought the Mac, the iMac, the Macbooks, the iPod, the iPhones and the iPads to the world. If Acer, Samsung and the other computer companies are striving to create computers that have chiclet keyboards, it’s the Macbook’s fault. If you notice more and more laptop models sporting the “no visible screws” look, or a wafer-thin, sexy profile, be sure that it’s the Macbook Air’s fault.

In short, Steve elevated personal computing into an art form. He made sure that his side of tech would become more than just a utilitarian industry. He made sure that it’ll be a utilitarian industry that came in eye candy form. He made computers sexy.
