I spend most of my time in front of a computer and I don’t have any TV nearby so I’m missing a lot of great shows. Luckily, now i can do both! Watchpad offers a good variety of channels to watch, which includes GMA, CNBC, MTV, Animax, CNN, Cartoon Network, National Geographic, Crime & Investigation, History, Bio and E!, you can watch them all online and FREE!

Another exciting thing is that PLDT Watchpad is having the Pacquiao & Cotto Match this coming November 15, 2009 streamed online for FREE! What else are you waiting for!?

So if you are already a PLDT MyDSL subscriber, you are not maximizing your investment without subscribing to PLDT Watchpad.

I was able to sign-up and enjoy watching TV online in just 10 minutes. Here’s what I did.

1. Download and install the watchpad video player in http://www.pldtwatchpad.com (about 11mb)
2. Sign-up for an account – Make sure you have your account information handy. (If you don’t know your account number, just call up 171 and ask for it)
3. Make sure you enter the right account information and telephone number. (The system makes a back-end verification, also make sure your account number is equal to 10 digits, if not add zero “0″ in front)
4. That’s it! Enjoy watching TV online

It’s really cool to see the phones are now being used to control your car! Viper’s SmartStart allows you to start, stop and even control your car temperature controls remotely via an Iphone Application, this will practically make your car remote control obsolete.

It requires 3G connectivity or a WiFi connection. Globe Telecom, the official distributor of iPhones in the Philippines, has yet to announce plans of offering the application in the local market.

This can really be useful for car protection as well, remote monitor your car when parked, shut it down when needed, no worries for theft Cool!
