stir-fry: JUMP Experience Center

PLDT and Smart recently launched the JUMP Experience Center in Megamall Cyberzone. It's a place where you can see and experience for yourself the latest technology and services they offer (may it be mobile, Internet, business, or home)... mind you, this place is very hands-on! Definitely for tech-savvy peeps who want to be actively involved in what's new :) You can create your own avatar, play games with your friends, actually touch and experience working mobile phones (not dummy ones!), or just lounge and look around :)

The Jump Center makes it more easy for anyone to decide on what service or gadget to avail, since you can conveniently access everything. Those manning the area are also very capable in answering queries.. they're not selling really, they're just there to help you navigate your way around and introduce you to what's in store. They also offer free workshop sessions - from PC Back to Basics to different Operating Systems.

Here are some of the cool things which caught my eye:

Here's where you can create your own avatar. Found at the entrance of the store.

A very pretty lounge seat, copied from the Jump trademark.

A HUGE touchscreen - you can play Angry Birds here!

A group of friends playing some game (sorry I wasn't able to see what the game was)

The huge touchscreen can also show you which particular service can specifically be helpful to each family member - just click away to find out.

They also showcased the HTC phone which can be mirrored on the huge touchscreen panel. Anything you do on the phone can be seen on the screen, and you can also control the phone by using the screen.

Have a seat! See the services and technology for your home in this furnished sala.

I love this! The never-before-seen HTC Evo 3D! I watched a bit of the Green Lantern movie on this phone - no 3D glasses needed. Plus, it sports 2 cameras at the back, allowing you to also shoot in 3D!
