I'm feelin kind of new today

Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max (64GB) - Midnight Green

So, it's my birthday today. And, I feel kind of new today. I don't know why. The feeling is as if it's another new beginning for me, I guess. New age, new day, new adventures. I do feel like I want everything to be new. Like maybe, it's time for a new girlfriend? Haha!

I also want a new handphone, not need but want. I want new cloth, a new laptop (I'm typing on my 'old' Eee pc) and basically everything new. Out with the old and in with the new!

Sometimes, in life, new changes are needed. Some, try to resist change in their life but for me? Nope. I like new changes in my life once in a while. Things, kind of get old pretty fast nowadays anyway right?

I've been bored with my life for a while now. I need to do new things. But, I'm still wondering what. I look around and there's really not much to do or anything new. I do like my new iPhone though. Okay, not so new now since the iPhone 3G S is out. But, I like the fact that there's basically new games coming out practically every day for the iPhone.



Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max (64GB) - Midnight Green

I like visiting http://toucharcade.com every day to check out if there's any new game on the App store. I'm still wondering if there's any new FPS for the iPhone. There's one coming up new from Gameloft. Really looking forward to it. I hope it won't disappoint though.

I guess I like to read about new tech stuff news too. Especially, new gadgets. I like visiting http://engadget.com and http://www.cnet.com. These are just some of the sites I like visiting everyday 'cause you never know what new things you can discover.

Talking about discovering new stuff online, I also like watching History Channel, Discovery Channel, National Geographic Channel, etc. They offer new stuff for me to learn and it's pretty interesting. I like the show about the Universe or about life millions of years ago, about the past world where we didn't know exist. We are basically living in worlds within worlds!

Think about it, when we think we already know or see all the things in life then life surprises us with new info and new knowledge. Well, it's not really surprising. God, already stated that if you cut all the trees on earth to use as pens and all the water on earth as inks, it's still not enough to write all the knowledge that there is.

There's nothing static in life and we will keep moving on even after we are dead. It makes you think, doesn't it?

Ahhh... the wonder of life. I guess I was wrong, there are still new things to be discovered in my life and I just need to get off my butt. Haha!

Well, I guess, that's it for today. Still, haven't bathed and drunk my hot coffee. Have a good day and oh yeah, Happy birthday to me and happy birthday to my country, Singapore. Pray for more good, new things to come. :)

P.S Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max (64GB) - Midnight Green

iPhone OS 3.0 is Now Live!

Woohoooo!

Check out the news on my fav site at TouchArcade.com.

I'm, already downloaded the 3.0 update software via iTunes and now it's syncing.

Can't wait to test out the new features. I'm feeling excited all over again. It's as if I'm buying a new iPhone for myself! Ha ha!

Only few products can really cite me up. I don't know why. I really wish I could buy the latest new iPhone 3G S(speed). But, I'm only 1 year through the current contract. Bummer!

Unless, my Singtel carrier offer a special re-contract/upgrade or whatever. The latest 3rd gen is said to be faster, longer battery life with video capture and editing capabilities. You can even mms like the other 'normal' phone!

Geez! Well, I guess if I wait another year for my contract to finish, a new 4th gen iPhone will be out then? Hmmm ...the thought of the latest iphone from Apple makes me drool with puppy eyes. Haha!

C'mon already, sync up faster!

Apple support and review staff Incompetence

Note: Apparently, some developers are having problem on getting their games approved to be included to the iTunes store. Here's a letter from one of them.

To know more about Zombie Mangle visit TouchArcade Forum.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Hi,

I'm Perry Hart, the sole developer at PHARTGAMES.

It's apparent that Apple's systems for reviewing iPhone applications and supporting developers is inadequate and down right amateur.

There has been quite a large amount of hype about my new app ZombieMangle, a first person shooter. Alot of people want to play it after seeing the videos on youtube and especially after the massive disappointment of Zombie Mansion and Cube.

I submitted Zombie Mangle over a week ago now, Which was what i though would be a perfect time to release just before christmas. However, A few days after submission apple sends me an email stating that they require  "Unexpected Additional Time For Review" with no reason whatsoever for the delay. So I do a search for any other developers who have received this email, and it appears there's ALOT of them. 

What this email basically means is that your application has joined a queue which never gets looked at and your app wont be approved, or rejected depending on apples discression for months. One developer has been on the queue for three months, and received absolutely no information about what was wrong.

The email address to get help about app reviews, as stated by apple is devprograms@apple.com. Developers can send all the emails they like to this address, they just get ignored.

Developers can call phone support however the people on the other end of the line can barely speak english, and are unable to help with anything. They say they cannot contact the review staff to one developer, to others they say they have sent an email asking for information, others they say they will call back (with no call back). Some developers are told that their application has received an "Escalated Priority" all of which seems like absolute rubbish as they still get no result after months of waiting.

One fellow developer has called numerous times trying to get a name changed on their tax information. They get told the issue has been Escalated however are still waiting months afterward for a simple name change. Apple are even in violation of their contract as they haven't been paid for some regions, even after the 45 days past the end of the month as stated in the iphone developer contract. But this is a seperate issue.

So, with no indication from apple what the issue is with ZombieMangle I figure i'll be proactive and change the game to remove the blood as it may be too extreme, change the effects to green instead of red, change the  zombies into aliens, change all the interface graphics containing red blood to green etc. I even changed the sheep to robot sheep incase they had some issue with aliens attacking sheep. Then I resubmitted under a different name Alien Mangle. In my submission I stated clearly in CAPS "IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS APP, DO NOT SEND ME AN UNEXPECTED ADDITIONAL TIME EMAIL, REJECT IT AND TELL ME WHAT THE PROBLEM IS"

Today I received the same canned email stating the requirement of additional time.

Calling out for help on the official forums has yielded nothing more than moderators canned replies stating email addresses and phone numbers.

I think it's time that all developers and potential developers know that they are working with amateurs.

Thanks,

Perry Hart.

Apple buys stake in mobile graphics chip..

My 601 post is about the latest updates on Apple move to buy stake in a mobile graphics chip designer.

In short, look out for better games in the nearest future!

Woohooo!

I can't wait for the next gen iPhone. I'm not really interested in iTouch. I know they got bigger memory but, I think I'm going to buy the next gen iPhone as I know they'll keep improving it for years to come. Yeah, the iTouch will be improved further too, but I like that I can use the phone features. In any case, I won't need to bring an iTouch and a phone right? I'll just need to bring my iPhone!

Enuff chatters. Click here to read up on this latest Apple updates!

Good day and good fun ya all!

Am i an iTunes/iPhone addict?

Top paid apps on the App Store

First off, Singapore is in a recession. Click here to read news. Although, personally, I'm not feeling the heat, but I read about it almost everyday in the papers. I did work in an American company before where they laid off some workers and although, I was new there and they were saying I was safe but when some of us was being called to be told about the laying off, I did feel a little nervous. But, that was almost 10 years ago. Since, then, I've been in and out of jobs. I can't seem to stick to a job long enough. I got short attention span and I get bored doing the same job. Life is too short eh?

Anyway, besides the economy, I think I have another personal problem and that is I'm turning into an iTunes App store addict. LoL. Everyday, when at work and at home, I keep surfing the iTunes App store for new apps especially the game section. I can't stop myself. Although, my 3G iPhone is already loaded with lot of games, I still want more!

I have already spend almost $300++ ($200 in the first month of getting the iphone!) buying games through the App store. I can't freakin' stop myself. Okay, the games might not match the DS lite and PSP but I'm still hooked to it. Even though the new PSP-3000 is on sale (is it already?) and there are tons of games but I prefer my iPhone. You can't really blame me. I think because, I bring my iPhone everywhere. Even, to the toilet! Ha ha. There's so much you can do on the iPhone. It's not just for games but, you can surf, search, read news, check your email, listen to music, watch movies, videos and so on. It's an all in one device and so far, I'm really satisfied with it. It really hadn't disappoint me in any way. Okay, maybe you still can't MMS, bluetooth files or take videos. But, I didn't really miss it. But, I do hope on that side they would offer it in the 3rd gen iPhone and beyond. I'm pretty sure, the iPhone will be improved upon more every year. It's already a powerful device right now!

One kind of game I'm still waiting for the iPhone is the FPS 0r first-person-shooter kind of game. Like the one for the game console of course. There's a couple, coming on the iPhone, but so far there's no latest updates. I read somewhere that it's coming this November. We'll see then. I really hope, the FPS on the iPhone is the kick-ass type of FPS. Then, it will really raise the standard of the iPhone as a gaming platform. Yeah, the cute puzzle and flying games is fun for the iPhone. But, only an FPS kind of game will really draw the hardcore gamers to the iPhone. Not, sissy games!

Add multiplayer capabilities to it and voila!

You'll then see hordes of gamers on the train, buses, school, gardens, cars and don't forget the toilets! LoL!

'Nuff said. I have already surveyed the iTunes Apps store a couple of times today. I'm going to have a look again, see if there's any new updates. He he!

Hmm.. maybe, I AM an iTunes or iPhone addict!

See ya all later!

On another subject, the other day, I was reading 'The Art of War' by Sun Tzu II. Waging War on my iPhone. Yeah, I have the book but, it's kind of cool to read it on your iPhone!

You can get it via iTunes App store. Just type "Sun Tzu" on the iTunes search. You can also definitely get it right from your iPhone too. There's also a whole lot of nice e books you can buy and download to your iphone. Check it out!

Anyway, I came to point no. 6 >
There is no instance of a country having benefited from prolonged warfare.

As you can obviously see, the U.S. army need to pull back as soon as possible from Iraq and Afghanistan. There's no use in staying too long and prolonged the war. Billions of U.S. dollars had already been wasted on this useless war that seems to have no ends (Click here to read in .pdf format of the cost of war on terror - The Cost of Iraq, Afghanistan, and Other Global War on Terror Operations Since 9/11).

They should have tried to avoid going to war in the first place and instead use the various Intelligence agency to get their man - in this case Osama.

How long have the war been going on? I remember when I first heard and watch CNN, BBC on my cable tv. I didn't see the first plane going into the World trade center of course but I did watch the second plane 'live' going straight for the second towers and also watch how both of the towers finally crumbled with smokes and debris everywhere. It was like watching the movies. I didn't really believe what I saw. I thought it was some kind of mistake. Some kind of crude joke. But, it did happen.

What happen next is of course the current and still the U.S. president George W. Bush decided to go to war in spite of what others think. Yeah, the crude speech, "either you're with me or againts me" I guess every one is againts him now eh?

And still, Osama is at large!

Well anyway, here's another excerpt from Sun Tzu no. 7 >> It is only one who is thoroughly acquainted with the evils of war that can thoroughly understand the profitable way of carrying it on.

I wonder if George Bush actually knows what de heck he's doing!

'nuff said!

That's it for now. Good night and sleep well. Oh yeah, happy fasting!

Note: I know in some other countries others are suffering terribly in this month of Ramadan. But, there's always a reason right? Look up my man ..look up and pray for mercy!

It ain't nothin' compared to Hell!

YES! Finally! Got my own iPhone (3G)!

Click here to get your iPhone 3GS today!

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Yes! Finally! Got my very own 3G iPhone today!

Okay, okay. I know, I should have waited till Starhub offered it since I'm already with the carrier. But, I can't freaking stop myself!

So, here it is. Some of the pictures, I took of my brand new iPhone. I haven't played with it much yet. Just, getting the hang of it.

At the shop, I didn't even know how to 'On' the thing. I thought, I need only to press the 'Home' button. So, I was a little embarrass when the salesgirl showed me that I need to press the 'Standby' button first before pressing the 'Home' button.

So, right. Okay, I knew that! Ha ha!




I was a bit lucky, as I was afraid there will be a long queue when I reach the Singtel shop at Sengkang-Compass point.

But, in the end I didn't really had to wait that long. My sis were there before me and she told me that the iPhone was sold there and there are still a whole lot of stocks. There were already many people there buying the phone.

The whole time I was wondering if I should go to another place at Hougang Point where there are Singtel Shop too. But, anyway, glad I decided stick to Compass Point.

So, finally after a half-an-hour wait, I finally got my iPhone. I was a bit nonchalant but deep inside I was freaking excited. I felt like shouting out loud when I finally finished the transaction.

Way, cool man. I haven't felt so excited in my whole life. And, just for buying a phone? Ha ha. That's what the iPhone are doing to me.


What about you? Did you had the same feeling as me, when buying your first iPhone?

Check out the photos!

Heh! I bought the iPhone covers too!

Got, to protect your investments!

Ha ha!

I took all of the photos with my Nokia 6210. So, it isn't that good. But, hey, still okay hmm??

I'm still charging it. This is how it looks when it's on saving mode or 'Standby' mode. So dark and eery ain't it?

Ahh ..much better when the iPhone is on. See, all of the pre-installed icons. I don't know why, it looks so appealing to me. I just wanna kiss it!


Ha Ha. I'm not a nerd okay!


I just love tech gadgets!

Check out more photos below!

A little closer look!

All you need is, touch!

I haven't yet, try the ipod. Haven't uploaded any songs or movies. But, I tried, sms-ing my other phone and it works!

They say, my Singtel line would be activated in 2 days time. But, I could already msg my other phone with a Starhub account. Hmm.. what gives.

I haven't tried messaging or calling my sis and friends yet. I'll try it out maybe later. I need to save up my old contacts!

And, I'm doing it manually one at a time.
Before that? More photos!

Okay, I know. Where's the pic of the other windows? All, the pics I've taken is the 'Home' screen. Err ..I didn't realize it until now. Ha! I'll take some more photos later on with other screens. For now, these will do.

Oh yeah. I also haven't tried the wifi or 3G connection yet. I'm still charging it and I'm not sure if I can get any wifi at this time.

Anyway, there'll be lots of time to try that later on. A lot of places I wanted to try especially at home.

I'm also wondering about the bills. How much would it cost me by the end of the month?

I bought the 8G model for SGD$348 with the $56/mth package deals. I got 200 mins outgoing calls and free incoming. I also have 500 sms.

Let's just wait and see heh?


Well, they were right. The back of the iPhone is easily smudge with your fingerprints. Lucky, I bought the iPhone covers. So, I quickly put it on. It came together with the screen cover. So, it's okay now.

I love doing the touch with the iPhone. Ha ha. Nice, feeling. And, yeah the keyboard works great!

All, you need is to confidently touch-type it. Don't worry, about mistakes and you'll be fine. I tried test-type the virtual keyboard and send myself the sms.

I was pretty quick. Maybe, because, I'm used to typing on my treo. So, it seems normal to me.

I don't know bout the others but I'm cool with it.

Check out the camera. The pics taken by the iPhone is 'Okay' I guess. Too bad, they can't take video. But, I know there are software I can use if I wanted to.

This are the 2nd products, I've bought from Apple. So far, so good. I like their design and hype!

Wish, it was a little cheaper though. I don't have a Mac because it's too freakin expensive unlike the Pc. And, anyway, I'm afraid about the compatibility with other products.

I've been a Pc user for like so long and I tried an Apple mac before borrowed from my ex-girlfriend. Kind, of cool but, a little wierd in using it.


It was freakin slow. Maybe, it wasn't the latest version. I don't know. But, I'm using an old pentium III right now and it isn't as slow as an old mac!

Anyway, I'm just glad I finally got my very own iPhone 3G. Woohooo !! Feeling great and there are tons of things I wanted to try out with the iPhone.

I want to try the wifi and 3G connections. Also, the ipod, the virtual keyboard. Which, I'm not really having problem with. I have already tried messaging to some people and it already works fine. Way cool!

So, until later updates. Good night and sweet dreams!

By the way, what you waiting for? Get your iphone today!

Ha! Apple should pay me for this free advertisement!

Good night!

iPhone finally in Singapore!

Check it out!

Finally! The much-coveted item is here in Singapore shores. After, waiting for seems like eons and eons!

But, err ..I don't think I'll be getting it..just yet. He he. It's just that, only Singtel is offering it right now. Although, looking at the price and data plans, looks pretty tempting to me. I've heard that Starhub will also be offering it's own iPhone package near the end of the year. So, if, I can wait, I'll wait!

Anyway, seems like there's still a lot of issues unresolved with the iPhone right now. Although, I'm just hoping that Singapore wouldn't be having the same technical problem like the other countries. But, still, nothing beats holding the damn thing in your own hand. I'll be checking out the Singtel shops starting this 25th Aug. I wonder, if there's going to be a long line like the other countries. Singaporean are known to be 'kiasu' (i don't really know how to explain the meaning in english) so maybe, people would like rush to be the first in line. Let just wait and see. Should be in the news by today or maybe starting tomorrow.

I think the first batch would be given to the people that sign-up to be in the list on the 22nd at exeter rd. And, starting monday, would be sold around the island storewide. It's going to be a mad rush. Me? I'll just wait for now. Like, I said. I'm tempted to buy it but I hope I can stop myself! Heeeellpppp !!!

Ha ha!

Anyway, since last Friday, I haven't been able to surf the Internet and watching my cable tv. As, suddenly, it went dead. At first, I just brush it off thinking that maybe Starhub were just doing some updating or upgrading or whatever. But, then by monday, I still can't access my Internet and I can't even watch my normal favorite shows. So, I called, the tech support and they ask me to check the cable, unscrewing and screwing the connection but to no evail. Finally, to make the story short they send somebody to come over my house to take a look. So, the guy came and after checking the connectivity he finally discovered that, somehow the main cable connections outside my house were kind of loose. Well, it was kind of wierd as I didn't really had any kind of connection problem before. So, I was kind of surprised that was the only reason. Anyway, finally, today, I can surf as per normal and finally get to blog about it right now.

In any case, I did manage to get connected using somebody wifi near my home with the Eee pc. I use it to surf and cleared my email. Hail! To the Eee pc! It saved me from complete boredness when it matters most. Ha! And, I was thinking of selling it before. Well, anyway, like I've said, time and time again. You never know what's going to happen in the next mins. So, live the life you want to live and don't be chained by circumtances!

I've also learned that we should NEVER say never!

In life, strange things happened. So, anything could be possible in this life. Never say, never. And, give it all you've got!

That's all for now. Cheers!

Why does break up hurts?

Okay. I just got to get this out of my chest. A month ago, a friend gave me a woman mobile contact number. Heh, you know the drill right?

I just got discharged from the hospital after four days being warded for a spine slip disc. And, I've got 45 days of MC. So, what's a guy to do right?

So, through the days, I chat up with the woman via sms. Yeah, same ol same ol. She was friendly, able to take my crude jokes etc. It's been some time since I last chat or talk with any woman intimately. My friend actually given me a couple of numbers before but all the woman seems disinterested. I don't know why. I guess, it's hard to find a woman to talk to nowadays eh? Or maybe, it's me?

So, when this woman named "Linda" actually bothered to even 'entertained' me, I was kind of happy. Everyday, every minute, every hours, I check my phone if she had send me a message. Even, my nephews noticed it. And, they joked to me about it. The only problem is I wanted to meet her but she kept insisting that she's afraid I'll run away when I meet her. So, I didn't bother to try to meet her anymore after that. Even, though, I totally wanted to. I guess, if I wanted really to meet her, it wouldn't be a problem. It's just that, something stop me to 'further' the relationship. I think, I have this relationship self-distruct button inside of me. I always find a way to screw it up!

Anyway, the last few days, I finally decided to offer her phone number to one of my male colleague. At first, she didn't want me to. But, I lied saying that I've shown her pic to my colleauge and that he likes her. I tried, a second time and she finally gave in. Well, once, I've given her number, I decided not to contact her anymore. You know, I thought I didn't want to get in between those two as in a way, I was trying to 'run' away from her. I don't know why, I did that. Although, I've been happy chatting up with her but I guess I did it because, I wanted to pretend that I was helping my friend and her. Do I sound stupid to you? Ha!

So, to make the story short. They meet up and now they're seeing each other. Although, in a way, I was happy for them, but inside me just feels a little hurt. I don't know why. Finally, today. I send an sms asking her to delete my number from her contacts and told her that I'll be doing the same. I said that, I didn't want to get in between both of them and I felt that it was better that way. She asked, why couldn't we still be friends then? I replied, that I was afraid I'll get in between their relationship. I was freaking lying to her and myself. Inside me, in truth, I was a little hurt that she actually went out with him after the second day of chatting on the phone. Whereas, I didn't even get to hear her voice much else meet her. I know, it's my own freaking fault!

She send me the sad face icon :( but I didn't care. I just wanted out of the short 'relationship' if you can call it that. I was kind of exasperated that she actually went out with him even though at first she didn't want to. She said, she was only interested in me and not anybody else. But, then she agreed to meet him. What gives! How can I take it just like that? I thought she did it just to spite me. Well, who have the last laugh huh?

At work, during lunch break earlier. I usually sleep, as I've taken my brunch at the 10:00am tea break. I didn't manage to get a single wink! I was thinking the whole time how to tell it to her that I wanted her to delete my number and that we shouldn't stay in contact anymore. I wanted her totally out of my life. In a way, I was angry and I wanted to tell her off and all of that. But, in the end I just told her that maybe, we shouldn't contact each other anymore. I told her to delete my number and I was going to delete her's. So, that was that. But, why do I feel a little hurt inside? Why do I feel the sensation of the break up?

Even, though, I've only known her for almost 2 months. I haven't met the girl, haven't even hear her voice on the telephone. And, it still hurts? Why the hell-freaking-so!!??

I guess, it's been some time since I last felt a little connected to someone since my break up with my ex. Which, I actually still think of once in a while. I still think that I'm doing my former girlfriend an injustice and if in any way, I can get back with her. I'll do it. The thing is, even if we're back together would it be any better then the last time? I've had an on-and-off relationship with her a couple of time. I'm in a freaking dilemma.

Right now, in a way, I'm happy that I'm single but also, deep inside maybe I need someone. Heck. When, I did had a girlfriend, I wanted out and when I didn't have one? I wanted one!

Duh! This pain going to hurt, and last a couple of days, maybe weeks. The bad thing is that my colleague is going to be talking about her to me. Which, I didn't want. Cause, I just want to forget about her and move on. Maybe, find me another woman eh? Hurt again? You bet!

I guess that's part of my life right now. Maybe, I'll find someone special again like my ex. Maybe, I'll get back with my ex-gf together again. Or really maybe, I don't freaking care about all this relationship thing. It's just such a hassle! But, who knows right?

Nothing is carve in stone in this world.

Even if I don't? Duh! I'll still be happy being single. And, that's that.

So, have a nice weekend and maybe, I'll read up more news about the 3G iPhone to soothes the hurt. Yeah.. baby. Come to papa ...

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Latest updates: 17th July. Well, I finally decided to ask my friend for her number again. And, we chat about what had happens. Right now, we only chat occasionally again. But, I think now it's a little easier for me to 'slowly' disappear rather then abruptly stop contacting her. Seems to be working and doesn't hurt as much. Also, I tried contacting my ex via email. So, far. No response. But, hey, at least I tried right? Although, I know, I can do better.

Latest updates II: 18th July. So guess what? I went to meet the girl finally after only chatting with her for almost 2 months. Well, she isn't that pretty in real life. She's okay I guess. A little too thin. And, she likes to wear the head scarf. I told her I preferred to see her let her hair go. I'm sure, she'll look better. But, anyway. At least I got to meet her and she's the first woman I met (consider as a date?) after 2 years breaking up with my long-time gf. A little awkward. I don't know how far this relationship going to go. But, we'll see. For now, I'm just going with the flow ..

Latest updates III: 20th July. Sigh! So, guess what again. Now, the girl decided to break up with me. Saying that I wasn't really serious about the relationship. Actually, she's right. Well, you can't really blame me. I just met her what 2 days ago? I guess it's my fault that I introduced her to my friend in the first place. I should have just keep it to myself and not pass her number around. She wasn't really happy about that in the first place. And, also, I can't move on, until I settled things with my ex. Got, to find a way to meet her and talk things through. Anyway, I'm supposed to be over about woman and now, I'm in this mess I created myself. Baahh ..relationship is not for me. I should just stick with being alone. Again. Life goes on .. I guess. I think this is going to be my last updates for this post. Any comment?

iPhone 3G on sale tomorrow!

Yay! iPhone 3G will be on sale starting tomorrow on 11th July!

Okay, Singapore isn't among the lucky few countries that's got the opportunity to sell it en-mass. But, it'll be sooner rather then later. News, is that Singtel will be selling it in September. There's no exact date announced but you can actually, already pre-order it online via their site.

I'm still thinking if I want to do that. I'm also wondering should I get the 8Gb or the 16Gb version of the iPhone?

If you know Apple, I'm pretty sure they'll keep updating and improving the iPhone and rolling it out for sale almost every year!

So, since the 8Gb version is a little cheaper, you can buy it and if and when the new version comes out, you'll have no qualm to trade in for a new one. I guess, you can do that with a 16Gb iPhone too. But, the thing is that, I like to install a whole lot of stuff in it. I like to surf up and learn what I can do with the iPhone. I like to put in apps, games, music, videos, podcast etc. That's why I'm wondering if getting a 16Gb version is the best options. Although, if I have a lot of stuff in it, and I had paid for it, I don't think I'll want to just trade in the iPhone and lose all the stuff that I had collected. But, then again. If the next-gen iPhone offers better speed, space or whatever Apple planning to upgrade. Why not right?

The thing with all this tech gadget is that they don't really last long. Maybe, a couple of years. Just look at the Pcs and laptops that I've (you've) had through the years. It all died on me when I freaking least expected it to!

If I had saved up all those money, heck, I would have enough savings in my bank account right now to enjoy a two weeks vacation in Langkawi! LoL!

Well, I can't wait to get my grubby hands on it. I'll definitely blog about it here. Heh!

Anyway, these few days, I've been busy downloading stuff for my ipod. Yeah, the 'old' 5th gen video ipod. It's still working fine for me and I bring it to work everyday. Now, I've manage to install games into it and I'm freaking happy about it. The game is so much fun. Now, I can listen to my fav musics and also play games. Hurray!

Okay, the games isn't as flashy and hardcore like the FPS for my xbox. But, the puzzle games is interesting and quite addictive. You can play while on the bus, during lunch breaks or any free time you have. You can check out the games via iTunes or look it up via Yahoo! or Google.

I found a great website for your 5th Gen ipod here. Hey, thanks me later!

It got a whole lot of tutorials, tips and trick for your ipod. Check it out won't cha!

Right. By the way, I realized today that Singapore is already on the iTunes accepted list. But, all the apps, games etc. are only for iPhone and iTouch. Yeah, I know. I thought, I could buy music and games for my ipod but they left it out. I don't freakin no why. You might want to ask Steve Jobs about that.

Anyway, that's my updates for today. Good day and look out for news on the new 3G iPhone all over the world tomorrow! Woohooo!!

Peace out...

P.S. Steve Jobs, if you read this. Please sponsor me a Macbook and an iPhone. I can't freaking afford it! Also, I'll be an Apple fanboys for life! Haha! If not? Bahhhh ...hamburg!

iPhone usage statistics - iPhone 3G 2008

Click here to get your iPhone 3G now!

Hey guys,

Yeah. Right now, I'm into iPhone next. Just like before, when I was interested with the cheap laptop by Asus Eee pc. Which, of course I still have it with me. It's a little darling of mine. It's light, it's simple and I can bring it to work everyday without worrying about the weight. Even the charger is small just like a mobile phone charger. Best of all is the price!

Aaaanywaaayyy. Now, I'm so crazy for the iPhone!

Yeah, I'm already crazy about it when it was first introduced to the world by Steve Jobs. But, as I (not really) and everyone else in this planet been praying for, the 3G iPhone is finally here!

Well, not here yet literally, but it's going to be sold in the U.S. and some other fortunate countries starting 11 July 2008. I'm just bumped that again, my own country Singapore wasn't on that chosen country list. The earliest it will be sold here is in September. And, even that it's not sold by my tel co carrier. Great, just great!

I'm tempted to buy it from Singtel though. Well, I won't change carrier but just that I don't mind opening an account with them. I'm that desperate for the iPhone!

I'm not even sure if ever, Starhub will sell the iPhone!?

There's no freaking news from them. I can tell you one thing for sure, Singtel, will acquire new and more customers just for selling the iPhone!

Starhub will have to do the catch-up. Stock will be down. Yup, I'm sure of that.

Enough said!!

Here's an interesting article I read on Cnet Asia that shows the iPhone usage statistics. Everyone keep saying that the iPhone aren't anything new and that the technical spec they have aren't really new technology. Well?

Read the iPhone usage statistics and you'll see that the iPhone have really proven and shown what it's capable of. Yes, okay, you still can't take video and mms like other "smartphone" out there. But, it's strength for me is in using it as an internet surfing device.

As, you will see from the iPhone usage stats, people are surfing more on the iPhone than on any other smartphones out there!

In my own experience in using my mobile phones, an old treo 650, to surf the internet, I can tell you it's not very pleasing. Even though, I haven't had a hands-on surfing with the iPhone, but I just know that it's significantly better!

The fact, that it has bigger and brighter screen is one of the advantage!

One other good news is that 1000s of developers are creating nice apps and games for the iPhone. Some of them for Free!

I like it when you can use free wifi access to blog, send emails and surf!

Pretty nifty thing to have in your pocket right?

That's why I like the iPhone so much. Furthermore, when I look at the cool game demo where you control a racing game by tilting the iPhone left and right, I just feel overawed!

One thing I'm pretty sure of is that, my 3 little nephews would surely fight each other just to play with it. Iphone.. fight ...nice ...

No, I'm not an Apple fan boys. Just, that I like it because of it's coolness. And, no, I'm not really a tech nerd either!

Well, you really have to have it in your hands to really enjoy the awesomeness of this product. So, until, I have it in my own hands, I'll reserve further judgment.

In the mean time? Click here to read more on this iPhone usage statistics. To know if your country is in the select few where the iPhone 3G will be sold then go to Apple.com/iphone

Have a nice Saturday!

3G iPhone finally here!!

Playing games on the iPhone?

So, yesterday, Steve Jobs finally announced the 3G iPhone. All the rumors were true. Now, it's more cooler and can do more stuff. Although, they still say you can't take videos or even mms. What gives? Isn't this the basic essentials that we all already expected on a 3G phone? I thought, you can at least video chat on the iPhone by now. But, who knows, that could be incorparated in 3rd or 4th generation of iPhones.

But still, if even if you offer me the 1st generation iPhone, I would like snap it up in an instant. Because, it's sooooOOoo cooool!

Ha ha. Anyway, here's a video of some games which you'll be able to play on the iPhone. It's way cool. You play by tapping or even tilt the iPhone left and right as if you're driving. Wii? Check it out, you can almost do the same on the iPhone and best of all you can play it anywhere!

Boy! Can't wait for it to reach Singapore. Though, it'll only be available via Singtel. What de heck?

I'm contracted to Starhub and I prefer buying it through them. But, I don't know. I don't know how long I'll be patient to get my hand on the iPhone. Ha ha. As it is, in the U.S. they'll only be sold in July 11. Apple really knows how to make people wait and I think people will be scrambling for it by then. What's more, the price is far more cheaper then the 1st gen. Now, it's only USD$199 for the 8GB and USD$299 for the 16GB.

I think, I'll get the 8GB version. It'll be around SGD$300+ range and maybe when the 3rd or 4th gen iPhone came out, it'll be even better and I can get a better one. He he. I might just give my old iPhone to one of my nephews. Let, them play with it and show off to their friends. But, I think, since it's a little cheaper, every kids in Singapore would want it. Hey, the kids nowadays already have theirs N73, N95 or whatever. So, their parents won't have second thought in buying this $300 or $600+ iPhone.

Anyway, can't wait!

Watch the cool vid!
