Celcom’s Blackberry Torch 9800 price revealed. RRP at RM2188.

Image
Finally, the Blackberry Torch is showing up here in Malaysia. Two major telcos in Malaysia, Celcom and Maxis, are having their 1st day sales or pre-registration sales today. The price with BIS subscription was also revealed. I am wondering what DiGi is doing there? Well, their style is to observe what others got to offer and then come up with a better deal, isn’t it? Alright, below is the BIS subscription details for Blackberry Torch 9800 with Celcom: By the way, did anyone went to their 1st day sales today, at La Bodega Pavilion? Who manage to get this phone at RM8? If you were not able to go, no worries as you can visit any Blue Cube outlets from the 3rd November onwards to get one for yourself. At RM8? Yeah, right….keep on dreaming

Latest Android offers from Maxis – Samsung Galaxy Tab, Motorola Charm and Motorola Flipout.

Maxis has more gadgets to offer in their Android section now. I was targeting for the Samsung Galaxy Tab Look at the contract price:

Malaysian Blogger study--Jayce Ooi aka SP Blogger earn more than RM3000 per month.

Look at Jayce Ooi earning this month, it really motivates us Malaysian. Malaysia earn a lot from Google adsense with over RM3000 internet income per month. His advice is 'Focus on US traffic if you want to earn more money. Hopefully, I can reach my target RM 5,000 or 300,000 visits per month sooner.' Below is his post: Congratulation to Google AdSense. It is still the best income generator for me. And it broke US$ 500 level. Luckily, Vibrant is back on track too. By the way, ContextWeb is not a new advertising company. It was ADSDAQ (they changed the name). Local advertising companies are not performing well. Getting lesser and lesser ads from them. And I am sad to say good bye to Innity due to under-perform lately. Hope that Innity can back to the games when its technology channel has more ads. Or maybe they can add more channel to JayceOoi.com? Internet income report for September 2010 Google AdSense – US$ 528.87 (RM 1621.72) Vibrant – US$ 257.51 (RM 789.62) ContextWeb...

Apple iPhone 4 Vs Samsung Galaxy S

Image
I think I’m going to do something similar to what I did with the iPhone Vs Incredible and list a few categories and give you my personal take. I think you maybe surprised by the results but as always let me know if you think I’m right on or off the mark. Build and comfort – Draw Without a doubt the iPhone 4 is the best built smartphone.  However as far as comfortable to hold and use not even close to the Galaxy S. The Galaxy S, while being made of high grade plastic instead of a glass composite, feels very comfortable, lighter and solid. When making calls it’s comfortable in your hand while being held-up to your ear and you don’t have to worry about your grip while making a call. UI – Galaxy S The iPhone 4 has a wonderful and very basic UI that has attracted a huge number of followers and rightly so but that was then and this is now. It’s time for a choice and that’s where the iPhone misses the target in my opinion. The Galaxy S can be set up with a UI that emulates the iPhone...

Sketch Faces Online Like Facial Recognition System

Image
You know in movies, witnesses to crimes are asked by the officials to illustrate the faces of law breakers with a facial recognition system . Witnesses describe how the offender looks like and the police will compare selected facial features with images from their facial database. Flashface allows you to do that online D.I.Y style . With comprehensive list of face features like hair , head , eyebrows , glasses , eyes , nose , moustache , mouth , jaw and beard it is possible to illustrate someone’s face almost 100% alike. This comes in pretty handy when you witness some unethical incidents, not violating the law but still you are not comfortable with the particular person’s act. You can draw them out, email it to friends, blog about it or even save online for future usage. Cool huh. I’m not really sure who I’ve produced here, but I hope it looks like one of Beatles or Liam of Oasis.
