Soo…remember my Sad Mac Moment post???

Well, the awesome folks at Microsoft Windows found out about it and generously offered me the opp to test out the new ASUS U43Jc from the Bamboo Collection utilizing Windows 7.

Not only is the ASUS U Bamboo PC visually gorgeous with its natural bamboo cover (using 15% less plastic) it truly is one of the most efficient, lightning-fast mobile machines out there…

Perfect for us Jet-Setting Fashionistas:

Mobile Maven – take one part ASUS Super Hybrid Engine and one part NVIDIA Optimus Technology and you get a system that switches between powerful graphics options, providing us city girls-on-the-go with up to 10 hours of battery life!! So when I’m running from Midtown morning meetings at showrooms to Downtown industry lunches, the ASUS still has enough juice to let me post about my spontaneous evening cocktail dates – AMAZE x 100.

Lifestyle Blogger Bountiful – using Windows 7, the ASUS is packed with uber useful & essential features necessary for us lifestyle & fashion bloggers. With applications included in the Windows Live Essentials package such as Windows Live Movie Maker (for easy editing of my MG Style posts) to Windows Live Writer (for when I’m in midst of a Current Stat with a date), updating blog posts with the latest in NYC lifestyle & fashion is a BREEZE.

Fall Fashion Friendly – if you’ve recently updated your fall handbag wardy like I did, you dolls know how important it is to travel with a light weight, fully loaded & beautifully styled laptop.  With it’s 14in slim HD display (1366×768 res. for hi-quality visuals) & gorg bamboo exterior, the ASUS is the perfect accompaniment to my essential NYFW survival kit.

Dahlings – you can purchase this stunning Asus Bamboo PC from Amazon for $999 here – AND receive a $150.00 gift card. <3

kissies,

p.s. – Look out for my video using this fabulush ASUS PC!!! XOXO

I use the mobile version of an online dating site on my Droid. But, that’s more like mobile-access, not mobile dating. Mobile dating, or Dating 3.0 (as I like to call it), is the use of an app specifically dedicated to using your cell phone’s background processing capabilities to deliver profiles to your cell based on your real-time location.

Without revealing any private information (only your screen-name, common interests & location proximity), MeetMoi NOW notifies you with potential matches that are near by and  allows you to engage in a conversation with them.

With its “Always-On” feature, the app constantly offers matches based on your location & time. So, you never know what amaze peeps are in your area…your future beau could be found while on your way to Sbux!!!

To get the app: search ‘meetMoi NOW’ in the Android Market, or text ‘Android’ to 94810.

For more screenshots please visit my post on the Mobile Mod Squad.

So, dahlings…have you ever mobile-dated??? Would you ever try it???

My heart, soul, dreams…live in Midtown, Manhattan NYC

You lovelies already know how much I heart my Droid Incredible right? Well now that I have officially switched from my pink BB to the Droid, I had to look into apps that would fit my Midtown Girl lifestyle (fabulush, hello). I already had most of the essentials but wanted to add a few more apps that would integrate seamlessly with my busy schedule…

Where

Have a spontaneous date opp and not sure where to go??? The next time you need to plan a last minute date or if your gf’s need to chat STAT and you need a place to suit all your tastes, Where is there to the rescue. ‘Where’ helps you discover new places based on your personal preferences. It also offers real-time user reviews for local restaurants, businesses, events, movies, weather, news, traffic information, special offers and coupons. Select where you’d like to go and instantly get text or mapped directions. source

Key Ring

Because Duane Reade & CVS are my lifelines. What city girl hasn’t purchased Essie polish, Febreze room candles & ROC eye moisturizer while out on a midnight toothpaste run?! Key Ring uses a bar code scanner technology to create a digital copy of your reward/loyalty cards and stores them on your phone.  When you get to checkout, all you do is scan the bar code from your screen. The app also helps you collect and redeem offers from your fav stores. Sweeeeeet.

CabSense

source

Google Maps is a fantastic app and with Voice Search I can figure out how to get to any destination simply by saying “navigate to…” and get my directions immediately. BUT…with events/meetings/social dates located all over the city throughout the day (an eve of course) cabs are just a necessity (and my preferred way of travel). Let’s be honest – MG usually cabs it. I have a few tricks of my own to find a much needed cabbie during peak hours, but if you’re not a taxi-pro like myself, CabSense will help you out. It uses New York City taxi location data to help users find the best street corners near them to catch an available taxi at any given day and time. CabSense even has a “Taxi Hailer – when users find an available taxi, they can simply shake the phone and it will whistle for them”. source

WordPress for Android

Essential for WP bloggers period. Get it now – GO! Perfect for mobile outfit posts/fabulush NYC shots/craptastic dating stories that you want to share ASAP with your awesome readers..because I know you need to know.

Do I need to explain this one? You dolls know what’s up – TWITTER IS GOLD.

I finally found a live streaming video app that let’s me take vids of MidtownPup’s dancing abilities (yup, she’s got some moves) on the go and be able to share them. Concerts, crazy city folk, breaking news – video & live stream it while interacting with your besties in real time.

Dahlings – any Droid apps I’ve been missing out on? Please share bc I’m officially mobile obsessed.

kissies,

Last week, we had the opp to attend a lovely luncheon at Meet at the Apartment to view the new HTC Droid Incredible smartphone. Not only were we given the chance to test out the new Incredible smartphone, we were also given fabulous Minx manicures! Love. It.

Sooo…why does MG heart this new HTC??? Let me share with you dahlings why -

• Stunning Street Style Snaps: Last week during a Girl’s Night Out viewing of SATC2, I whipped out my HTC Incredible to take a pic of beautiful Wendy Brandes wearing a fabulous Leopard DVF dress & her Cleopatra earrings (also featured in the movie). The Incredible’s 8-mega pixel resolution and built-in editing was just that…incredible!

• Share with Your Girls Stat: Right after taking this pic, the Incredible’s 1GHz Snapdragon™ processor took only SECONDS to upload & send it to all my tweeples on Twitter using the “Peep” app – a must when keeping your friends in the loop, all the time!

Excited about my new HTC apps! lol

• Bestie Central: Need advice on what to wear for the first date? Share pics, get instant updates on what your girl’s are wearing or just inside info on what their plans are that eve by tapping into HTC’s Friend Stream App. It keeps your Facebook and Twitter™ streams synced without having to log into both – easy access to your besties!

Gorgeous bloggy buds at the event!

• Mobile Dating Maven: Being a bustling Midtown Girl, I love to try out new places for spontaneous cocktail dates. Using the Android™ OS with HTC Sense™, I have the city at my fingertips – the perfect place to find a new restaurant app, boutique app (for date night outfits), or even an app for new potential dates (yay x 100!!). The options are ah-may-zing..and so is this new HTC smartphone. <3

Arti from HTC giving me dating advice while getting a fabulush Minx manny!

Had such a fun time & how fabulous is this phone?!?!?

kissies,

Holy Crap.

To say Microsoft Kin‘s marketing is ingenious would be an understatement. The vid above is part of  ’The Journey’ series, in which a chick named Rosa travels across the U.S. – with her trusty KIN, of course – to meet various peeps IRL from her Facebook account. Her goal is to find out “Are We Really Friends with Our Friends”.

In the above clip, she meets the ‘online flirt’ fb friend,  Matty Goldberg, who…totally reminded me of an online date gone horrifically wrong. I almost broke out with a case of IBS watching this vid…too real for words!

Anywho, this past Mon I had the opp to see how the Kin works at its launch party held at Meet at the Apartment in Soho (loves!). Let’s see how KIN’s features would work for MG:

• Loop -this is fav central, giving you latest updates from your fav social media sites (for me it is Twitter & FB). This way I know what current stat is with my besties, fellow fashionistas & my peeps in the world-o-singledom. Holler.

• Spot –with this, you can instantly share photos, texts, etc, by just dragging them to a “spot” on your phone - just in case you forg0t what your online date looks like. LOL – no seriously, this has happened to me…WTH. No separate app to open!

• Studio – No need to worry if you ever accidentally leave your cell in cab, like I once did. You will always have your messages, contacts, photos & vids stored on the web.

• Camera – perfect for when I take Midtown/NYC shots & send to Twitter, the KIN has a super powerful flash & HD vid. Maybe I should vid my next date…yay or nay?!?

• Zune - I can listen to all my music that I downloaded from my pc/mac while I walk Midtown Pups & window shop or…while walking back to my apt after a craptastic date. For shiz.

So…KIN will be avail from Verizon Wireless (exclusively) in the U.S. beg. in May. For more info on MSFT’s KIN visit here: KIN

Dahlings – what are your thoughts on Microsoft’s KIN???

kissies,
