The Tech Feed Five is something new I’m trying out; basically a (regular, hopefully) set of the five more interesting items I’ve come across on the Web related to tech, the Internet, social media and other somewhat related what-have-yous. While I’d like to think of it as a personal collection of material that I’d like ...
So by now just about everyone’s heard about Apple’s diminutive new iPod shuffle. It’s sleek, it’s slim and its absolutely tiny. No bigger than your typical thumb drive, this is probably the first time I’m seeing a portable MP3 player that boasts a volume much less than that of a rolled-up set of earbuds. One ...

In my mind, Microsoft Hardware makes some excellent stuff; keyboards and mice that cost a little more than most, but usually with better build quality and an eye to details that help make the user experience a better one. Today, that vision has received the equivalent of a swift kick to the crotch, thanks to ...
Seems the rumour mill in Malaysia has been churning a lot when it comes to the iPhone. I had it from a friend who says his source is really reliable that a certain green telco in Malaysia would be bringing in the iPhone to Malaysia and exclusively only to them.That’s not all I heard it ...
I’ve gotten some pretty interesting news from the grapevine recently regarding the HTC Dream. It seems that HTC might not be bringing the Dream into the Malaysian market at all and might instead opt to bring in the upcoming G2 instead. One reason I heard was that due to various issues the HTC Dream or ...

In the previous post, we noted that the HTC Dream would finally be making its way to Singapore. In an exclusive deal with HTC, SingTel happens to be the only telco in the region to bring in the Dream, similar to what happened with the iPhone 3G. And since SingTel also happens to own Australian ...
Took HTC long enough, but the HTC Dream (made famous as the T-Mobile G1 in the United States) is now finally available in Singapore, thanks to the chaps at SingTel. Now, not only does the biggest telco in Singapore have the Apple iPhone 3G, but now they’re also the first operator in Asia to bring ...

The end of 2009 is less than a two weeks away, and it’s only been a few short months since mobile computing enthusiasts were treated to the first netbooks making their way to retail shelves, with the likes of the early Asus Eee PCs and HP’s short-lived but strangely popular Mini-Note 2133 powered by Intel ...
I came into the office this morning to see a colleague’s IM status reading ‘No Steve keynote at Macworld’, or something to that effect. Given that the news popped a couple hours earlier in international time, hopping onto Techmeme and the other tech news sites I usually frequent, there was plenty that the Internet had ...
