Pre-Order The Sony Tablet S Now – Sony is going to release a new tablet to the market – Sony Tablet S, an Android-based tablet. You can pre-order it now on Sony’s website and there are two models available.

• Sony Tablet S (16GB WiFi) – RM1,499
• Sony Tablet S (32GB WiFi) – RM1,799

The tablet features a 9.4″ screen, runs on dual-core 1GHz Tegra 2 processor, 1GB RAM and weighs 598g. The thickness is different at two point of the tablet, the thinnest point at 10.1mm and the thickest point is 20.6mm which is rather thick. It’s running on Android Honeycomb 3.2 and ICS Android 4.0 update will be coming in soon. The back shooter is a 5-megapixel camera and front faced camera is a 0.3-megapixel camera.

With the pre-order of the tablet, you will get an exclusive ST Slip Case that is worth RM139.

Head over to Sony’s website for more information.

My 2 cents: This tablet is quite pretty in term of design as well as the specs, however what I don’t like is the thick design. Although it’s ergonomically nice to hold on hand, but I still prefer something to be flat and thin.

Huawei Honor In Malaysia At RM1,099 – Huawei Honor is the latest Android smartphone by Huawei and is now available in Malaysia. The phone, Huawei Honor is an affordable mid-range smartphone that is Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich-ready.

It features a 16M 16:9 true colour high-definition 4-inch FWVGA capacitive touch screen and powered by a high capacity 1,930mAh battery. It runs on a 1.4GHz processor. The rear shooter is an 8-megapixel HDR-enabled camera, whereas the front face camera is a 0.3-megapixel camera. The design is pretty sleek and sports a 10.9mm thin body and weighs about 140g.

Unfortunately, it’s shipped with Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread and Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0 is expect to be released by Q2 of 2012.

The phone is priced at RM1,099 and you can find the list of available outlets selling the phone on Huawei’s Facebook page.

Well, I think that this phone is a not-bad and affordable Android phone which sports a decent-powerful hardware, just without the dual-core. The 8-megapixel camera, 4-inch screen and ICS-ready make it one of the attractive mid-range Android phone out there. If you ask whether I want it or not, I would save more money and get the best and highest-end mobile phone out there. I don’t want to stuck at something in the middle range. My 2 cents. It’s up to your budget for a mobile phone, for a mid-range, powerful, and affordable price, Huawei Honor is a good one.

Get FREE MiFi With Maxis 6GB Broadband Plan – Now Maxis is giving out FREE Huawei MiFi modem (worth RM280) when you subscribe to their 6GB Broadband Plan at RM98 per month (RM88 per month for Maxis Postpaid user) on a 12-months contract basis.

In addition, there’s a RM100 activation fee and RM200 penalty charge when you terminate before the contract period. Well, the broadband plan is nice because it gives you free MIFI modem. The MIFI modem allows you to create mobile hotspot on the go for your mobile device to connect.

If you ask me whether do I need it? I’d say no because I has a Android device with data plan and I can create mobile hotspot with my phone too. =D

Anyway, head over to Maxis for more information about this new deal.

ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Prime Is Cool! Coming 18th January 2012 In Malaysia – All the while, I thought that the coolest tablet on earth is the Apple iPad with a huge IPS screen, long battery life and dual-core. But now, the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Prime is even cooler, I wonder why the long name?

Let’s get into the hardware specs. The Eee Pad Transformer Prime has the world’s first Quad-core NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor with 1GB RAM. The display is a 10.1 inch SuperIPS+ display. The rear camera is a 8-megapixel camera with LED flash and front face camera is a 1.2-megapixel shooter for video call and self-shot. The built quality is great, it’s a metal unibody design with thickness at only 8.3mm thin!

According to Asus, battery life last up to 12 hours and 18 hours when dock on the special keyboard dock that comes with the device. The keyboard dock serves as extra battery, physical keyboard, SD and USB input, as well as a touch pad. This turns the Transformer Prime into a netbook.

The ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Prime will be available in Malaysia on 18th January 2012 and priced at RM2,199 for the 32GB NON-3G model. Currently, there’s no news about 3G model, but expected to be released soon.

One more thing, the OS of the tablet is the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.

This tablet is so cool and tempting to me, the only thing that set me back is no 3G included. I found that the keyboard dock is very useful too and I need not to bring a heavy laptop out with me to travel. What do you think?

Lower Monthy Mobile Internet Plan By Maxis – The reason I went to DiGi last time is because DiGi has cheaper data plan at RM68/month for 3GB data. Now I can consider switching back to Maxis because their 3GB data plan has reduced price from RM88 to RM68. Maxis has just revised their Mobile Internet Package, all at a lower rate.

Good news for Maxis user, however you will still get extra charges when you excess your allowed quota at RM0.30/MB compare to previously RM10/MB, which is a lot cheaper now. Somehow, I think Maxis should cap speed instead of charging extra for excess usage. Anyway, considering Maxis has a wide 3G coverage, the revised Mobile Internet Plan is worthwhile.

Head over to Maxis website to check out more about it.
