BlackBerry Wallet App: Leave your credit card at home.


Today's discovery on Blackberry App World is the really cool BlackBerry Wallet App.

Many of the BlackBerrys being sold today are equipped with the NFC tags that is attached to the back battery case. What it does is it enables the user to wirelessly tap Point-of-Sale (POS) terminals with your phone, like you would with PayPass using your credit card, to purchase items in half the time! (If you've never heard of NFC tags, youtube it. There is a lot of potential to this technology that haven't yet been discovered by many.)


The real neat thing about this app is that there is a loyalty card and gift card option! It'll be very useful once merchants accept these cards via PayPass. From my knowledge, you still have to swipe these cards. Nonetheless, the credit card option should do for now.


As you can see the fields for entering your card information is quite intensive, and supports the major networks of credit facilities. Rest assured though, Blackberry claims it's safe. Also you are required to set a password before you can use the app for additional security.

If you own a BlackBerry with a NFC tag on your battery cover, why not try it out?

The HP Spectre x360 13.3" Touchscreen/Pen model (13-AC010CA)

The HP Spectre x360 13.3" Touchscreen/Pen (13-AC010CA) The Spectre x360 is the latest 13.3" product from HP that has a hinge that allows the screen to rotate a full 360 degrees, making it a great contender for your 2-in-1 portability pursuit. The major difference here is that it doesn't have a detachable keyboard, and just maybe that in tablet mode  grabbing at the keyboard on the backside makes it a little awkward to hold. Not a deal breaker though. Unboxing Experience Right from the get-go you know you're dealing with something serious. HP knows that the unboxing experience is just as important as the experience with the laptop itself, and they didn't skimp out. One look at this box and you're jittering with excitement! What Comes Inside The Box You'll be glad to know that the HP Spectre x360 comes fully loaded . Inside the box you get: HP Quick USB-C charger Leather like carrying case (custom, with pen holder!) HP Stylus ...

Acer Aspire E5-575G-55NW 15.6" laptop REVIEW

Overview The Pros: Great battery life (up to 10-12 hours per charge) 256 GB SSD Hard Drive (we love the silence of a solid state hard drive!) Thin and portable enough 15.6" 1080p HD display screen (1920 x 1080) Dedicated NIDIVIA 940MX 2GB video card Intel i5 - 7 series processor The low price point The Cons: Trackpad feels a little cheap, too "bouncy-clicky" Display screen seems just a little bit dim, even on full brightness setting Overall: 3.7/5 STARS A great budget laptop that packs a punch! Made for the number cruncher, the student who values the balance between portability and performance, or the everyday person who likes watching a lot of videos and playing the casual game. The Physical The Acer Aspire E15 generally feels great in the hand when it's folded and carried it around. Despite having about 2 times the thickness of a MacBook Air, Acer did a great job at keeping the weight down to be able to say...

IPad or MacBook? Which one to travel with

I’ve been travelling with my 12.9” iPad Pro with a Magic Keyboard and a 2019 16” MacBook Pro, both offer different experiences and the use case depends on the situation.  Which is the best for travel? That depends.  Using the iPad My favourite time to use the iPad is when I’m in “student mode.” This means I’m using it to learn Thai by writing out the Thai alphabet with the Apple Pencil.  Also reading books on the iPad is extremely enjoyable, even with the 12.9” format. In fact, I enjoy the lager iPad size compared to my 11” iPad because it just feels nicer to read on something with more screen real estate.  I’ll have to admit, I don’t use my iPad as often as I do with my MacBook Pro.  Using the MacBook Pro Something about using a traditional laptop makes me feel more productive. It’s the all-a rounder that I can rely on using to get things done. Weather it’s learning how to code or using the Adobe Suite, it can handle anything I throw at it.  The physical s...
