Dell Inspiron Mini 9
Everything comes in convenient, compact shapes these days, and Dell’s new line of Inspiron laptops are no exception. The Dell Inspiron Mini 9 is a small, 2.2lb laptop with built-in WiFi. Its size and features are perfect for business travelers who’re always on the go, social networkers, and newcomers to the PC world because you can do all sorts of important online activity wherever there’s WiFi, like surfing, chatting, blogging, and uploading photos.
You can even customize your Dell Inspiron experience. The Dell Ispiron Mini comes in black and white, and you have a choice between the standard Windows XP (available now) or an Ubuntu Linux-based Dell-customized interface (coming soon).
The Dell Inspiron Mini 9 will be hitting Philippine stores next month! Stay tuned for detailed product specs for the Philippine market, which will arrive next week. I’m told there are nine different specs to choose from!

Not only is The Biggest Bill Loser possibly the first online reality show in the Philippines - it’s a reality show where the losers win! The show follows the life of four people who can’t live without their voice calls and text messages and spend so much of their money on exhorbitant cellphone bills - the big kahuna RJ Ledesma, the babe magnet Darwin Carpio, the super mommy Janice Villanueva, and the techie Boom Gonzales. Akong, Bayantel’s hired hitman, and his crew Hecky and Sasi, document the four’s daily activities and help them save money on their cellphone bills using Bayantel Wireless Landline.
The Bayantel Wireless Landline phone is about the size of a normal cellphone. For only Php 1,500 for the unit itself and 600 for monthly fees, you can save a lot of money on voice calls if you use the Wireless Landline!
Watch the craziest online show at the Biggest Bill Loser website, and learn how you can lower your cellphone bills using Bayantel. Currently, there are about two episodes, so don’t miss them!

The month of September means a lot of things to a lot of people but to me, it simply means it’s time yet again for another Manila International Book Fair! 
For those of you who don’t know what that is, the 29th Manila International Book Fair is the biggest book fair in the world. This year, it will be held at the SMX Convention Center, the newest and largest exhibition and convention center in the country, from September 12 to September 16.
The theme of this year’s Manila International Book Fair is “World Without Borders” to celebrate how literature can cross the boundaries of time, location, and culture. With over 300 exhibitors and thousands of new titles, the book fair hopes to contribute to reading awareness of Filipinos and serve as a venue for people in the publishing industry to launch new titles, address market demands, and promote reading advocacies.
Some of the genres included in the book fair are popular books, magazines, audio and e-books, textbooks, general references, Filipiniana, coffee table books, graphic novels, art books, and rare titles. (I intend to buy a whole lot of academic books from there this year! I hope it won’t be too expensive.)
The fair is organized by Primetrade Asia along with Asian Communicators Inc, Philippine Booksellers Association Inc, Book Development Association of the Philippines, and Publishers Representatives Organizations of the Philippines. For details, call 890-0661 or 896-0682, or e-mail bookfair@primetradeasia.com.
