Samsung launched their White colored Samsung Galaxy Note in South Korea. Because of this color was introduced, the said gadget gives more sophisticated experience and elegance as you experience with the Apple's Iphones. In the technical specs of this one, still the same as the standard Samsung Galaxy Note: dual core 1.4Ghz processor, Amoled super display, Google Operating System Android 2.3 Gingerbread and more. So if you are planning to buy a Samsung Galaxy Note; I recommend this one, I have a hunch that this one will be a hot item — just like the pearl white option for cars, they are more expensive compared to the standard models.
Here are more images of the Samsung Galaxy Note White Color.
Whenever I'll hear the product Aquos by Sharp, the only thing that comes to my mind are their vibrant LCD and LED televisions.
Now, Sharp launches their Aquos Smartphone to the public. The said phone is a slide-key type for easy to use; with a 3.7", 960x540 screen resolution — not bad, running on Google Android 2.3 operating system definitely you will not go wrong with this, because of tons of apps; the phone is also equipped with 8 megapixel cmos-spec camera, can support 720p video for high-definition video recording with continuous playback feature; with microSDHC Card slot for storing of data can hold size up to 32gb, Bluetooth 3.0, and Wifi feature. Colors that are available on this phone are Pink Champagne — perfect for girls , Shiny White — perfect for yuppies, and Black Knight — for guys.
This phone is offered first in Japan by KDDI — like Globe or Smart here in the Philippines. So the next time you buy a smartphone, maybe you can try this phone.
The last time that I went to this kind of event by Yahoo is way back in 2009, held in Jupiter Makati — I think that was the first time that I attended a Yahoo! Philippines event, free crispy pata.
This 2011 Yahoo! Philippines, yet again and bring this event with big prizes, I mean, big prizes.
Everyone at the area, especially outside the floor where invited for free to try Yahoo's features and functionality. Yahoo! Philippines provided four booths to the public; the booths are Yahoo! OMG — this would be the celebrety page of Yahoo! Philippines; Yahoo! Safely — its like a social bookmarking with the twist of Yahoo! Answer, but the content of the page is more parental centric; their famous Yahoo! Email and Yahoo! Internet Messenger. Other booths at the events are My|Phone Philippines, Air Philippines, Camella Holmes, and GLOBE Tatoo.
The main program started at five in the afternoon which hosted by Gwendoline Ruais our Miss World 1st runner-up — Wow! she's tall, plus with she is wearing shoes with high heels. They are participants who are qualified on that day; prizes where given away by corporate sponsors like Airphilippines and MY|Phone — Who will not decline on prizes like giving away brand new mobile phone by My|Phone and free travel package by Air-Philippines.
One of the most exciting part at the program is the game portion for the finalist; all the games that the contestant played are so boring except for the waveplay game developed by Wavegame Interactive, one of the Philippines pioneer in advergaming; at that time you will experienced the excitement of the contestant that some of them are requesting to play the game.
The final game is a quiz game, you need to describe details of a one-bedroom model which has a exact room on the area, the said condo unit was provided by Camella Holmes and also they are the one provided the grand prize of a condo unit — last year the grand prize was a brand new car.
After the did not finished their, the Band The Dawn rocked the event with their top-hitting tracks at the same time a display of fireworks was also present at the event.
Yahoo! Philippines promoting brand awareness and aiming the Filipino netizens to try their Yahoo! products and features. One strategy is the advergaming which is developed by Waveplay interactive, the waveplay game.
I am very excited on this kind of event; especially IT companies that into social interaction with people.

One of the most least expected industry that will embrace advergaming in my opinion would be the cement industry.
But in the recent Philconstruct expo happened in the Philippines, CEMEX is the only one company embrace this brand awareness approach, where the impact of decision making of the customer and clients today are through social media channel. Home builders are into technological embrace, where building one house or property is through the use of computers
Waveplay Interactive, a Philippines based company provided the channel which CEMEX is looking for. The said company developed games CEMEX waveplay catcher, Cemex Chant game, and Cemex racing game.
My observation on the said event the only booth that is very interactive is the booth of CEMEX; I've noticed visitors usually stopped and observe the activities; some of them are very interested to participate on the programs by CEMEX.
The aim of the company is; whenever those visitors will purchase a bag of cement. It is very simple ; but, in long term goal of the company, this would have a big impact on the decision making of the consumer and clients especially today's generation where connectivity and tehcnology is very vital in decision making.
Doing a car review on the net and my brother is trying login to his xbox account, going to play Project Gotham Racing, his friends are online; at the Xbox dashboard, I accidentally saw at the selection Kia and Volkswagen. Kia Motors is promoting their 2011 Kia Optima and Volkswagen is promoting their all-new Beetle.
Kia's video when select it on their microsite on XBOX-360
I tried to slect the Kia Optima icon, you will be redirected to 2011 Kia Optima microsite; I compare and check the official website on the internet, if the page is the same with the page posted on the XBOX-360, the interface is different, but the content is the same which you can download on their official website; it is also same with Volkswagen, with a twist of a game posted on their site on Xbox-360. The advergaming use was the product placement, but for consoles.
I like their approach on trying new channels in promoting their porducts especially for gamers. Hope to see more of these with different car manufacturer.
The last time that I heard the term Advergaming especially here in the Philippines, that was five years ago, when I was a freelance game tester at the same time a consultant if the game will be release in the market for a well known game publishing company. My good friend from that company, already gave me a heads-up that they will implement or introduce this kind of model, because they saw games from other countries like the US and Japan that they are using this kind approach, which can generate earnings and brand-awareness, compared to the traditional ads.
When I was at the Ultra Mega trade event in PICC forums last week, I stumble at the Nestle booth. They have game called the Waveplay, developed by Waveplay Interactive, a homegrown company. How to play the game? Well, there will be falling Nestle from the sky that you need to catch on you shopping cart, in short, you need to move the character in order to catch the Nestle products; in order to move the character, you need wave (by raising your both hands), and thats it, you will earn points.
At the Nestle booth; the good thing is, eventhough you did not make a high score, Nestle will give you freebies which is a cool. The game is very interactive, baecause the more person that will participate on the game, a high chance of winning the game. It is a good strategy because, the generation today are more social; perfect fit. One more thing, if the visitor will stay long at a booth, chances are that the visitor is interested at the company and their products.
Ever since Level-Up! introduce this business model, Nestle is already embracing this channel; also, at the event, they are the only unique and original compare to other booth Well I guess, speaking of Level-Up! Let see at convention if they have new approach in advertising.
The said congress focus on the young minds of soon to be advertisers and marketers from the top universities in the Philippines. Speakers are from different industry who are already successful on their are sharing their secret which is very good to the Generation "F", top-level marketers, decision-makers and academicians are present on the said event. I went there on day 1 though it is a two day event.
Held at Henry Lee Irwin Theater in Ateneo De Manila University. The whole event tackles the new approach in marketing and advertising using new channels like social-media, mobile devices, tablets, and many more. There is an open-forum on the event which audience are asking questions regarding the new approach especially in digital-marketing.
One the event, ABS-CBN Publishing group introduce their Ipad application for their magazines, which the audience are amazed because in the Philippines this would the first Ipad application offers to the Philippine Market for free; another is, their introduction of DTT or Digital Terrestial Television, which, the first innovation on Philippine Television introduced by ABS-CBN, to summarize this technology, if you are using a conventional antenna at your home which sometimes or everytime, getting free channels on you television is a hassle, especially if you are living in the province, but, using this technology or installing this technology having channels on your television is at ease, especially if you are using a picture tube type television; this would also be another milestone for ABS-CBN.
One thing that I like about the event is, Tessa Prieto was present and the audience participated in open forums especially in digital marketing and social media marketing.
Top marketers and decision makers in top advertising agency give their secret of being successful on their field, one of my favorite is from the advertising agency who produce the ads for the new Toyota Fortuner.
Outside the booth Universal Robina introduce their newest product, the C2 Milk Tea. Entertainment is also on the event provided by Manila Broadcasting Company and Waveplay Interactive.
Freebies was given also by the speakers from Tim Yap, giving free tickets and invites from his bar in Makati, and free tickets provided by Pulp magazine.
The said was organized by Philippine National Advertisers and Philippine National Advertisers Foundation.
