Singaporeans awaiting for an alternative to SingTel’s iPhone price plans might have to wait a while longer, as StarHub announced that they would not be bringing in the iPhone 3G anytime this year.Basically, the decision not to bring in Apple’s latest in mobile communication is a combination of Apple’s differing priorities towards signing on distributors ...

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 ...

So yeah, a couple of hours ago, the Apple store went offline. Which obviously meant that something was up, usually a new product (or more) being added to the store. Lo and behold, Apple went and introduced a new iPod Shuffle. Cue outpouring of oohs and ahhs. Which is to be expected since, hey, you’ve ...

Imagine you’re a traveling salesman, and you’re finding it a little more than inconvenient to be pulling out your laptop for a presentation, only to discover that you can only handle so many people at one go at the local Starbucks, before they point out they can’t see what’s on the screen, or that the ...

Awhile back, the internet was all abuzz over an Apple launch event, with pre-launch rumors swirling around that Apple would be introducing their refreshed lineup of laptop computers, a vague reference to a US$899 item listed in a US store’s inventory, as well as something called the ‘brick’.As it turned out, the bulk of the ...

So Google just announced they’re walking away from a proposed deal with Yahoo worth hundreds of millions of dollars (USD, of course). It was pretty obvious that Yahoo was hankering for the deal, simply because the money would have been huge, even after deducting off Google’s share of the loot, potentially increasing Yahoo’s revenue by ...

Personal photo printing has been around for quite some time, except that getting your photos printed out right after you’ve taken them isn’t exactly something you can do without the right equipment. Sure, one can argue that portable photo printers such as Canon’s Selphy ES-series do let you print on the go without having to ...

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 ...

Awhile back during the weekend Singapore was hosting the first ever F1 night race, I had the opportunity to chill out at the F1 Paddock Club courtesy of the dudes at Dell Singapore. Dell happens to be a sponsor for the BMW-Sauber team, and had a couple of invites for members of the media. While ...

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 ...

*image snagged from http://early3163.net/Digital downloads has always been a sore point for the music industry, though entities like the iTunes Music Store, and now Nokia’s Music Store, are rapidly gaining popularity. iTunes however, faces a potential setback as it appears that a group of Chinese hackers have apparently cracked the algorithm that generates the …

If you thought that 8 megapixels on your mobile phone is awesome, you’d better grab some tissues to clean your pants in 2009, ’cause Sony’s got some 12MP loving headed our way sometime in March 2009. On the other hand though, we might have to wait a while longer for those sensors to actually make ...

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 ...

Finally, Malaysia gets their own Apple Online Store. While apple.com.my goes to a blank page for some reason, Malaysian Mac heads have had to put up with www.apple.com/my for quite some time now, with no proper online store in sight. Now, at least, the problem’s been solved. Check out the Malaysian Apple Online Store here.To ...

Not quite mobile related, but hey, what’s a gamer to do.Fallout 3’s already out on the Xbox360 as of today, but thankfully, the PC version is following quite closely behind. The screenshot above is a little misleading though, because even though i’m downloading the game files through Steam (wahey for a 10Mbps ADSL connection!), the ...

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 ...

Free stuff is always good, and thanks to Check Point Software celebrating their 15th anniversary, as well as the anniversary of the ZoneAlarm firewall, they’ve decided to offer Check Point ZoneAlarm Pro 2009 FREE to consumers, thereby saving you a grand sum of US$19.95.
