| How many gadgets do you carry? |
| On a normal day, I carry my laptop, mobile phone and PDA. Without any of these gadgets, I feel incomplete and even helpless. |
| What is your favourite gadget to date? |
| I love my iPod. I think no other gadget can beat its quality, accessibility of features and design. |
| An application that is a lifesaver for executives. |
| I would say the XT9 that can integrate all input modes with the best T9 features like next word prediction, word order preference, word choice list, smart punctuation, among others, is a real lifesaver. XT9 can cut down the time wasted on keying in SMSes and also avoid spelling errors. I can safely predict that it will become a habit for us all. |
| Which is the next gadget you want to buy? |
| The next gadget on my list is the Apple iPhone, which promises to be an amazing mobile phone. The small and lightweight device, as the company claims, will have a wide screen, Internet and desktop class email, web browsing and search tools. In short, a must-have gadget. |
| What kind of dream machine would you like to build? |
| A convergence machine that can double up as a good communication, information, entertainment, and e-wallet device. |
| Your most embarrassing tech moment. |
| My experience with my first ever Bluetooth device was very embarrassing since I could not use it to communicate data. |
