Technology insiders claimed that Apple’s tablet PC which is a touch screen device will launch in March. In addition to that, the device is twice the size of the iPhone.

 

It is expected that Apple will announce the said gadget on 26th of January though there’s no official announcement.

 

On the other hand, Wall Street Journal claimed that the tablet PC will be launched in March and will come in either 10 or 11-inch touch screen.

What will be the name of the new upcoming product of Apple? It is no other than – iSlate after registering the domain islate.com, but this is not confirmed by the company.

 

Many analyst predicted that this tablet PC will focus more on entertainment. And others think of having a new version of of Apple’s iPhone OS that runs a new category of larger applications.

Babylon 8 is the solution for my need of having an excellent dictionary in my computer. I need dictionaries for finding the meaning of different words that I’m not familiar with. As I am surfing through the internet, I encounter a lot of words that I don’t know the meaning. This PC dictionary application helps a lot.

 

Babylon 8 doesn’t only includes a dictionary but also many different services such as thesaurus, speller, unit converter, translator to any language and more.

 

As for me, I will rate Babylon a perfect score. It all contains the things that I need. And it is really portable!

 

The thing I love the most on Babylon 8 is that I could just simply press Control + right click on the word to show the meaning and synonyms of the word. It will take less time than using a real dictionary. I would recommend this to all especially to writers and students.

1. AZNV (.tv)

 

 

 

This is a site full of Asian dramas and movies including Japanese, Filipino, Korean and others. The quality of the videos are quite alright. If we’ll rate the audio and video then it will be 9-A;9-V.  But this is not an ordinary streaming site, it needs Winamp. Winamp is required in viewing those videos.

 

Note: They also include some Anime.

 

This is highly recommended!

 

- Download Winamp here :  http://www.winamp.com/

 

Leave comment if you want an invitation. First come for serve since it’s limited.

 

2. Dramacrazy (.net)

 

 

 

This is also the same as the others giving you tons of Asian dramas and movies. This will let you choose from which video source/site to watch from. Unlike the AZNV, it will let you watch sites with just your mere player and flash player installed with your browser. This is also highly recommend!

 

3. Mysoju (.com)

 

 

 

This is just like Dramacrazy and AZNV.  This is also superb for providing an up-to-date drama and movie listing.

 

I am sad to say that many videos are corrupted or not working. But this is my first drama provider so I would like to recommend it to all of you.
