Since I blog about FON two week, I got some enquires about whether I could get some for them too. Sadly, as mentioned, they dont shipped to Singapore yet. So a few days ago, I decided to email my friends at FON. Well, they replied and send me a box of 20 FON routers. It […]

Just read on Crunch Gear that Samsung is showing off their WiBRO Mobile Phone. But the one which everyone talking about (and has being waiting for since June) is the one below: Samsung SPH-P9000. It is really more of a PDA with a fold-out keyboard. Beside the interesting form-factor, it support EV-DO as well as […]

I met Martin in Japan few months ago where he talks about working with Taiwanese manufacturer to make customized base stations for FON. Downloading firmware into WRT54g may be fun for a technie but perhaps not for the masses. So why not make their own boxes? Afterall, you can easily find a manufacturer for US$20-25 […]

My new toy, Nokia E61, the supposingly Blackberry-killer from Nokia. Got this yesterday and took sometime to play with it :-) I love the full keyboard. It is actually usable! (and does not take too long to get used to) I also like the big screen. I feels really good to read email on such […]

Finally went to Singtel shop yesterday and upgrade my SIM to a 3G USIM card. At the same time, I also got myself a brand new phone, Nokia N80. So far, it is like the Series 60 phones that I had before so I am pretty at ease with the interface. Most important of all, […]

Yes, I switched back to the darkside again a few weeks ago. No, I haven’t give up on my Macs but playing WoW on Powerbook for the last few months, the conclusion is: Sorry, it just didnt cut it. So alas, time to went shopping for a notebook with enough juice. Sad to say, none […]

Thanks to a friend1 who gave me a Razer Viper last year, my wife is so used to the 1000dpi high precision mouse that she cannot stand any normal optical mouse anymore. So when I was shopping for a new mouse two weeks ago, she warned me ‘nothing less then 800dpi’. Now, when your wife […]
