Many Malaysian make money bloggers wrote about this too if you do read their blogs. Basically, what this means is Malaysian PayPal user can withdraw MONEY now.

In case you don’t know, PayPal did not allow Malaysian to withdraw money out. But previously, there’s another method for Malaysian to withdraw money with a VMI card (some ATM card). Applying for the card takes time. I don’t have a VMI card though.

Well, it’s actually transferring money from your Paypal account to you credit card. I believe many of you do own a credit card, Mastercard, Visa or whatever. So, this new feature from PayPal allows you to withdraw money straight to your credit card and then either you withdraw it out from the bank or just spend it with your card.

Some credit card in Malaysia occur some problem in the process of withdrawing money, some success. So not 100% all the credit card support this service yet. I don’t know why.

Here’s a list of credit card that support :

• Al Rahji Bank Visa Debit Card
• EON Bank MOL Freedom Prepaid MasterCard
• Public Bank Credit Card / Debit Card

Not working :

• AmBank NexG Prepaid MasterCard
• UOB Bank MasterCard

Ok, I myself don’t have a chance to try the withdrawal because I don’t own a credit card. My PayPal has little fund only, so it’s not the time for me to withdraw money and 1 more thing that is PayPal only allow maximum $500 withdrawal per day. So, when I make more money, then I’ll withdraw it out and spent on whatever thing I like.

This apply to International PayPal user too. So have fun with you money!

If you read Gizmodo, you do notice that their editors do not like the new firmware updates for iPhone which added iTunes Music Store and RE-lock unlocked iPhone.

Check out the above comparison chart that I took from Gizmodo. I just know that a hacked iPhone is so cool, can do a lot of things and the new firmware just suck. Only good to iTunes Music Store user. I don’t use iTunes Music Store, most probably because it doesn’t has service in Malaysia.

Ok, I don’t own an iPhone though. If you came across your mind to get an iPhone, I recommend you not to upgrade your firmware or just like me sit at home and wait for 2nd Generation iPhone which I hope will be announced at MacWorld 2008.

Anyway, those who had upgraded your iPhone and bricked it, you can still “revive” (downgrade/restore) it. Haha.

iPhone is just like the handheld PlayStation Portable, so many hacks to playaround and the upgrade, downgrade thing. =)

Dell just releases a new 20 inch widescreen LCD monitor with build-in webcam and it supports screen resolution up to 1680×1050, 2ms response speed and a 2000:1 contrast ratio. Well, the best part of the monitor is the build-in 2 megapixel webcam which allow you to make video call easier or record your own video and post it to Youtube.

I got to say that it is a good buy as you do not need to buy a separate webcam for whatever reason you want it. However it doesn’t include a mic, so you still need to buy yourself a headset or microphone for video call.

Price is sweet, selling at $289. =)

I hope there will be a 22inch with built-in webcam as my current monitor is 22″ from Dell, if there is a 22inch with built-in webcam, I might get it for dual monitor setup.

Visit Dell website now.

I just saw iPhone in the mall just now. It shouldn’t be here because Apple has not announced the iPhone for Asia region but somehow someone manage to bring it in.

If I am not wrong, it’s an unlock version and it’s 8GB. Too bad it’s not on display, just saw the price. Unable to touch it.

As for the price, it sucks. RM3999, which is US$1,174. The shop must be crazy. Singapore also crazy, but it’s still cheaper, selling at US$727.

I just hope Apple faster announced the iPhone in Asia region as Asia has half of the population of the world and when it is announce soon, hope it will be 2nd generation with 3G and more.

So in the mean time waiting for iPhone, let’s play with the iPod touch first.

I just received an email from CG Computers – Apple Premium Reseller here in Penang, Malaysia.

Got excited because that in the email says that the iPod touch will be arriving in their store the day after tomorrow at 6pm.

After iPhone that was released at 6pm, now CG Computers also do the same thing. iPod touch in store at 6pm. Previously, new iMac, iPod classic and nano also 6pm. That’s a cool thing, but dad is quite busy tomorrow, wonder he can drop me off at the mall there to get my hands on the iPod touch. =)

Well, the price is super expensive.

• 16GB for RM1739 (510 USD)
• 8GB for RM1339 (393USD)

So, I am not going buy here in Malaysia, I am getting it in Singapore as it will be cheaper and of course I will getting the 16GB. 16GB is rather small in capacity but 8GB is smaller.

“I’m gonna touch you baby.”

Stay tune as I will bring you video of the hands on of the new iPod touch at Apple Center.

If you are not staying in the U.S like me, so sending text message to Twitter to updates your twits is charged at International text message rate.

But then, there’s a better solution for you to send twits from phone at a cheaper rate. If you have a unlimited data plan will be the best as you can just login to Twitter on your phone and post.

Because of Twitter has a mini site for phones (m.twitter.com), it makes it easier for me to post twits either from my phone or PSP. It’s cheaper too as when surfing the mini sites only “eat” a little KB and my mobile courier data usage rate is at RM0.10 (USD0.03) per 10kb. So, just update your twit and quit the web browser on your phone.

So, you Twitter already?
