Sharp’s Digital TV: The First in the Philippines with EWBS and BML Data Broadcasting

Sharp TV The shift from analogue to digital in the Philippines has been a long time coming, but finally, the Digital Switch-On (DSO) is happening starting this year, with the ultimate goal of going completely digitized in the next few years and rendering analogue obsolete with the Analogue Switch-Off (ASO). The governing bodies have chosen Japan’s digital broadcast system – the ISDB-T or the Integrated Service Digital Broadcast-Terrestrial – as the country’s system for a variety of reasons. One of them is that ISDB-T offers fantastic HD image and sound quality. But the most relevant features of ISDB-T go beyond entertainment.

 Two of ISDB-T’s unique features are its EWBS and BML Data Broadcasting capabilities. EWBS stands for Emergency Warning Broadcast System. This feature allows the TV to receive real-time alerts from reliable government agencies (such as PAGASA or Phivolcs) regarding natural disasters. BML or Broadcast Markup Language allows the TV to show Data Broadcasting, which is another way for the TV to show information on demand along with any given TV shows. These are the two winning features that make ISDB-T the perfect – nay, only choice for the Philippines. Just the last two years, the country suffered under many natural disasters, taking the lives of many. It has been found that proper and preemptive information dissemination is greatly helpful in saving lives. While we cannot prevent natural disasters from occurring, we can save lives by sharing and receiving reliable information – and that is the ultimate goal of ISDB-T in the country.

While there are other ISDB-T-ready Digital TVs now available in the Philippines, only the Sharp Digital TV lineup (LE-360D3 series) is equipped to receive EWBS and BML. So anyone looking to upgrade to an ISDB-T-ready TV need not look any further, because why upgrade to a digital TV that cannot accommodate the very reasons why the Philippines chose ISDB-T over other digital broadcast systems?

Upgrading to Sharp’s Digital TV means you can now enjoy all – not just some – of the benefits of ISDB-T. For people who are not yet ready to make the complete shift, a Sharp Set-Top Box can be plugged into your non-ISDB-T TV so you can also enjoy the full benefits of ISDB-T. Sharp has always made sure that it is at the forefront of innovation, simple engineering marvels that aim to make lives better and more convenient.

It is part of Sharp’s Our Brand, Our Pride philosophy – to continue to provide products that are relevant to the nation’s current needs. For more information on Sharp products, visit  www.sharp.ph or join the brand on Facebook.com/Sharp Philippines.

New Plantronics BackBeat SENSE: Wireless Stereo Headphones, Reimagined

plt_bbsense_black_outdoor[1]

Ultra-light, smart Bluetooth® headphones deliver sublime audio, all-day listening on a single charge, and intuitive smart sensor technology Manila, Philippines – Plantronics (NYSE: PLT), a pioneer in audio and wearable technology, today unveiled the BackBeat SENSE: smart wireless headphones that redefine stereo headphone capabilities, comfort and audio excellence. Whether you want to get lost in a playlist, podcast, or movie, BackBeat SENSE combines barely-there lightweight materials, best-in-class Bluetooth battery life, smart sensors, understated style, and signature Plantronics audio. BackBeat SENSE is available today in the Philippines. Plantronics 1 “From sunrise to sunset, people are indulging in streaming media on-the-go. They need headphones that don’t just keep up, but actually optimize their experience,” said Lori Langona, Director of Consumer Marketing, Plantronics. “With BackBeat SENSE, we’re bringing a new breed of headphones to the market that are equipped with intuitive sensor technology to help make the most of today’s always-on, content-rich, music-first reality.” What makes BackBeat SENSE so different? Built-in smart sensors automatically pause your music when you slip off the headphones, preserving battery life when they’re not being worn, then gently fading in your tunes when you put them back on. Intelligent pairing makes connecting and moving back and forth between devices fast and seamless, including pairing with two devices simultaneously. Whispered voice alerts provide important updates on battery life, connection status, and more. Centralizing the headphone controls in one earcup makes the headphones easier to use and more intuitive, and battery life gets a serious boost with the ability to stream music and media for up to 18 hours on a single charge. Plantronics BackBeat SENSE also takes an innovative approach to design, ensuring all-day wearing comfort for everyone. Its unique, patent-pending headband is designed to comfortably fit 99% of head sizes and evenly distribute the weight of the headphones, extending wear time by eliminating pressure that can cause fatigue and discomfort. At only 140g, about the same weight as a smartphone, BackBeat SENSE is approximately 50% lighter than most on-ear Bluetooth headphones available today (* Internal testing has shown BackBeat SENSE weighs at least 50% less than a comprehensive list of competitive on-ear Bluetooth headphones.) Pillow-soft memory foam ear pads conform to the shape of the listener’s ear, improving audio performance. The headphones’ compact form and fold-flat earcups make BackBeat SENSE comfortable and convenient to wear around the neck when not in use. Additional BackBeat SENSE technologies and benefits include:
  • Signature Plantronics audio and dynamic drivers create the optimal balance of rich bass, crisp highs, and natural midtones to let you enjoy your music to the full, and hear every detail in your media.
  • Advanced Class 1 Bluetooth lets you control up to two connected smartphones or tablets from up to 330ft/100m away—the length of a football field (* Requires a Class 1 Bluetooth device).
  • Dual mics enable HD Voice communication for clear calls or interactions with voice applications such as Siri™, Google Now, Cortana and Skype.
  • OpenMic™ technology for those times when you’ll occasionally need to hear the outside world. With OpenMic, you can do so with the touch of a button, and without missing a beat.
  • Fold-flat earcups makes BackBeat SENSE easy to transport and store, and a durable pouch is included with a handy pocket for charging and audio cables.
Plantronics Award-Winning BackBeat Family  BackBeat SENSE is the newest member of the BackBeat family of wireless stereo products from Plantronics. Other BackBeat stereo Bluetooth headphones include the critically-acclaimed BackBeat PRO over-the-ear wireless headphones, featuring active noise cancellation, and a record-setting 24 hours of streaming; the BackBeat FIT sweatproof wireless headphones, which feature a unique, safety-oriented design and a stable fit that stays in place comfortably no matter how hard you work out; and the popular BackBeat GO 2 + Charging case wireless earbuds that provide premium audio in an incredibly small and light form factor. BackBeat PRO, BackBeat GO 2 + Charging Case, and BackBeat FIT are currently available at select retailers. Pricing and Availability  BackBeat SENSE will be available in two styles – Black/Espresso and White/Tan – for MSRP P8,295 with GST.

Acer releases first Windows smartphone, the Acer Liquid M220


Acer M220 Specs 


 Tech giant Acer continues to blaze the trail in the Windows-powered smart phone arena with the release of the Acer Liquid M220. Running with the latest Windows 8.1 OS (upgradeable to Windows 10), the Acer Liquid M220 boasts of powerful specifications that can cater to either lifestyle or business users, ready for use in any occasion. The Acer Liquid M220 also evokes outstanding aesthetic qualities to complete this performance-packed smart phone’s superiority not just in terms of functionality but also with regard to overall look and feel.

Power is one thing that the Acer Liquid M220 confidently offers to business users through its Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 chipset that effectively boosts its stock against other smart phone brands in the market. Complemented by a dual-core 1.2GHz Cortex-A7 processor, 4GB internal memory and 512MB RAM, the Acer Liquid M220 is thus far the most powerful and amazing device there is given its price point. When it comes to outstanding looks, the Acer Liquid M220 does not lack in appeal and beauty. Inspired by a Thai silk suit material, it comes with a textile finish that gives it a sophisticated and fashionable guise and feel, which also doubles as extra grip for the phone to make handling safe and secure.

As for people’s lifestyle needs, the Acer Liquid M220 has efficient features that makes it a top-of-mind choice when it comes to smart phones. With a vivid 4-inch display and 233 pictures per inch (PPI) screen resolution, it perfectly matches the phone’s 5-Megapixel main camera (with autofocus and LED flash) to shoot the best pictures and videos whether for fun or professional use. The secondary 2-Megapixel front camera, on the other hand, is also fit for the “selfie” generation. The two cameras also offer faultless functionality since both are voice-operated. Imagine a camera that shoots the best photos or videos without having to “click” or are practically hands-free. With a MicroSD card slot, storing your photos, videos and other files will never be a problem.

Best of all, coming in at a modest and affordable price range of P2,490, the Acer Liquid M220 is definitely a “steal” yet worthy of every hard-earned peso that makes it a truly value-for-money smart phone for every Filipino.

The New Portégé Z20t Detachable Ultrabook with Reversible Dock


Toshiba Singapore Pte Ltd announced recently a new 12.5” 2-in-1 detachable ultraportable with reversible dock to meet the needs of mobile enterprise users. The PORTÉGÉ Z20t is optimized for business users with a variety of productivity and security features plus the powerful new Intel® Core™ M processors, which support both content creation and consumption with ease. With an extra-long battery life of up to 17.4 hours1, lightweight magnesium chassis and sleek, thin design, the PORTÉGÉ Z20t is prepared for professional life – whether in or out of the office.

“The PORTÉGÉ Z20t represents a remarkable technological achievement and delivers everything a modern business professional may require in a full mobile computing experience,” said Ms Wong Wai Meng, Senior Manager of Product Strategy at Toshiba Singapore Pte Ltd, Mobile Computing Solutions & Devices Division. “Built for professional users, the PORTÉGÉ Z20t offers a slim-line and lightweight device whether it’s used in laptop or tablet mode in any scenario while still satisfying the security and IT management features that are crucial to any organisation in today’s complex business environment.”

Perfectly formed for ultra-flexibility

With an optimized form factor and wide range of features for flexible business use, the PORTÉGÉ Z20t is the ultimate companion for professionals. The integrated Wacom digitizer offers superb hand writing recognition so that users can take notes and draw diagrams quickly and clearly in meetings while it can be stored conveniently in a dedicated slot on the tablet to minimize the chances of losing it.

Designed as a laptop but equally impressive in tablet mode, the PORTÉGÉ Z20t features a reversible dock enabling the tablet to be stowed backwards allowing use as a presentation device to a larger group of people. When docked the tablet benefits from the longer battery life and extra connectivity options on the keyboard. For convenience and ease of use, the tablet can be detached using one hand via the simple attach mechanism.

The PORTÉGÉ Z20t also has a Full HD IPS touchscreen display enabling vibrant, clear detail with wide viewing angles in case multiple users want to view the content on screen. The display’s anti-glare feature is perfect for the business user by reducing reflections to allow for work under office lights or even outside. Functionality and productivity are further enhanced by the inclusion of a spill resistant backlit keyboard2 for working in dimly lit environments with an improved key design for easy and comfortable typing. Additionally the integrated Accupoint provides an alternative to the large ClickPad for increased accuracy.

Ultra-portable all day long

When used as a laptop, the battery life is up to an impressive 17.4 hours1 by combining the charge in both the tablet and keyboard – ideal for use on long haul flights or negates the need to re-charge at the end of every day. If used as a tablet, the battery life will provide a full working day’s use of up to 8 hours1. Weighing from just 730g and measuring only 8.8mm thin in tablet mode or from 1.51kg in laptop mode, the PORTÉGÉ Z20t is also incredibly portable given the computing performance included.

Impressive performance in every mode

The powerful PORTÉGÉ Z20t features the Intel® Core™ M processors which enables the optimal combination of battery life and business class performance in a single device. With the inclusion of these processors and Toshiba’s engineering, the PORTÉGÉ Z20t is housed in a fanless chassis with a premium, black finish that operates silently. The PORTÉGÉ Z20t includes an SSD of up to 256GB and up to 8GB of LPDDR3 memory for superb responsiveness and the ability to run multiple programs with ease. Together with Intel® HD graphics, business users will be able to compute faster making it an exciting yet practical model for use in the office or on the move.

Business security for professional peace of mind

The PORTÉGÉ Z20t offers a number of advanced features designed to keep a business’s critical data safe including Toshiba’s EasyGuard suite. Trusted Platform Module (TPM) safeguards the data on local storage, while Intel® Active Management Technology3 (AMT) allows the IT department to monitor, maintain, repair, update and upgrade machines remotely. Each model has also passed several rigorous tests to meet Toshiba’s quality standards – including the HALT (Highly Accelerated Lifestyle Test) by independent German test institute, TÜV Rheinland® such as drop testing up to 76 cm. A Cable lock port is available which secures the keyboard to desks or other fixed points and ensures the tablet can’t be detached either when docked.

Connectivity for all scenarios

The PORTÉGÉ Z20t provides extensive options to connect to all the peripherals a business user might need regardless of how it is being used.

Acer Switch: 2-in-1 laptop for students

The market is now saturated with quality hybrid models that can double as a laptop and a tablet. With models rolling out one after the other, the competition now lies on how well-built one is for its particular target market.

Performance, hardware, and features are top-of-mind when gauging a gadget’s quality. Additionally, how well it integrates with the user’s activities is also a major consideration.
“If it is only a question of quality, there are a lot of brands out there that can claim this,” says Manuel Wong, General Manager of Acer Philippines. “A good model, however, should fit one’s activities in all aspects, from its performance to design”

The Aspire Switch 10 E is the latest hybrid model from Taiwan manufacturer Acer that is a good example of such model. Easy on the pocket, portable, versatile, and stylish, the Switch 10 E is a promising take on a gadget especially designed for students.

The Aspire Switch 10 E is a no-nonsense device when it comes to versatility. Equipped with the Acer Snap Hinge™, this model can be easily switched into four modes: notebook, tablet, tent, and display. The tablet can be easily detached and the hinge feature assures zero wobbling when merged with the keyboard.

Performance-wise, the model can easily provide for the computing needs of any student. The Aspire Switch 10 E, which runs on Windows 8.1, is already pre-installed with the Microsoft Office suite. Its Intel quad-core processor, 2GB memory, and 32 GB of Flash Memory let its users switch from program to program without any risk of lagging or crashing. This model also packs enough juice with its 12-hour battery life suitable for work and play.

Additionally, this Acer hybrid is also equipped with a data protection element with its Acer SwitchLock™ feature. All HDD data is automatically locked and protected whenever the tablet is pulled from its keyboard counterpart which also serves as the HDD key. All data can only be unlocked once the tablet is joined with its keyboard dock.

The Aspire Switch 10 E also has a strong suit of display and audio features. Students who need to constantly access videos and audio files will definitely appreciate its HD screen IPS technology and dual speakers that deliver crystal clear images and sound respectively.

Of course, durability is another top concern for users with such a dynamic lifestyle. Acer has this well-covered in the Switch 10 E with its Gorilla™ Glass that protects the LCD from scratches. The screen is also equipped with the Acer VisionCare™ feature which protects the eyes from damage caused stress-causing blue light.

In terms of design, this newest model from the Aspire Series is everything a student could want. Available in a range of trendy colors, it is a stylish, youthful upgrade of its predecessor, the Aspire Switch 10 E. Its textile-patterned finish not only adds a punch to its overall look but also improves grip.

Wong finishes, “Quality is an umbrella term. It should be an all-encompassing characteristic that should include efficiency, versatility, portability, and value for money. All of these, of course, should be in line with the demands of its market.”
