Review: Mili Power Crystal External Battery Pack for Gadgets

DSC04421 by nicholaschan.

After searching around for so long for a external battery pack, finally I found Chinese made MiLi at Switch World Expo that held at Gurney Plaza lately. I wanted an external battery pack to charge my phones, the Nexus One and Nokia N95 8GB when they run out of battery. I feel that having an external battery pack is better than swapping battery because swapping battery need to power it off and on again, very troublesome.

But with an external battery pack, it’s different. Just plug it into the phone it will charged like from the power at home.

It’s actually a rechargeable battery which can be charged then output with a USB and then connect it to any of your gadget device. You can charge your iPhone or whatever thing with the USB. It’s very easy to use too. There’s two color, black and white and I picked up the blacked one.

Opening up the box, there’s the little battery pack, it’s very small and very light, come with a pouch, USB cable and a few connectors for your phone and gadget.

It’s a finger print magnet with it sleek glossy surface. A full charged of the MiLi will allow you to charged your iPhone for 2-3 times. I uses it on my Nexus One though. Very easy to use too. Pressing on the center button will indicates how much battery is left. If the blue LED is on, means there’s still power.

Just plug it into your phone, then press the center button, it will start charging your mobile phone or gadget. One thing, the charging is very fast, it’s a lot faster than the power from your computer’s USB.

Good buy and I bought this form RM129 (around US$39).

I Want an iPhone 4

I just bought a Google Nexus One few months back, I was wanting to get an iPhone 3GS already but because of the release of Nexus One, I went for it. But so what, I still want an iPhone 4, but the problem is I don’t have the money to buy an iPhone 4. Haha.

Cut the crap. So Steve Job, my idol just announced the Apple iPhone 4 lately, also known as 4th generation of iPhone and it rocks in my opinion. The leaks with the stolen iPhone prototype that happened few weeks back by Gizmodo was in fact a real one. Although most of us had already knew about there will be a release of a new iPhone, but I still get excited felt surprised.

The design rocks with glass panel in front and back. The metal on the side is makes the phone look even more sleek and sexy and the thickness is less than 1cm! One of the surprised feature is Retina display. I’m pretty sure Apple made up the name, and it’s just screen with higher resolution. But the special part is the resolution is higher than all phone in the market.

The extra mic on top which works for noise canceling is nothing much special though.

Apple loves to talk about how they make their product. Their art of making, their idea, their technology, their engineered casing and everything. Although I’m not really interested, but I still support it. Fanboyish a bit already. The stainless steel on the side of the phone is actually an intergrated antenna for the phone for WiFi, GPS, GSM and everything. Good one.

Running on a Apple A4 Processor, same like the iPad, will it better than the powerful Snapdragon 1Ghz processor on other smartphones?

Camera of the new iPhone 4 has upgraded to a 5 megapixel camera with a LED flash. The best part of the camera is it has illuminated sensor which helps a lot to provide good quality photo in low light situation. This thing rocks, but somehow why not pack a 8 megapixel camera? It shoots HD  video too!

One very unexpected new hardware upgrade was the gyroscope. Last time, they were first with compass, then first with accelerometer and now they are first with gyroscope. Haha, the phone is now like the PlayStation 3 controller with Six Axis technology.

As for the software update on new iOS 4, they now called it the iOS instead of firmware, the very main features are Facetime, Multitasking that everyone was craving for and video editing with iMovie (download from App store) and lots more that you have to check out yourself when the new iOS 4 is available for download on June 21st. For the first time, it’s free for iPod touch too (unlike previous OS updates for iPod touch, user have to pay US$9.99 for it).

Now talk about why I want an iPhone, I need an pocket camera with HD video cam, I shoots short clip a lot, I need an iPod for myself, I’ve lost mine half a year ago (very sad) and I am an Apple fanboy. That’s conclude my reason for wanting an iPhone. Haha. Do you want one or stick with your whatever phone you are using now? and why?

iPhone 4 will be available in the US and few countries on June 24, pre-order starts June 15. While we in Malaysia, I predict it will be somewhere in September. So let’s wait.

Apple Reinvents Video Calling with FaceTime

wwdc by nicholaschan

I really salute Apple, their idea, their way of marketing are just awesome. 3 years ago, Apple reinvented the phone with iPhone, everyone started to craze about the iPhone, then other mobile company try to make the same thing. Just this year, Apple released the iPad, again, it’s the same thing, Apple made the tablet world popular with the iPad.

Screen shot 2010-06-08 at PM 08.37.21 by nicholaschan

During the keynote yesterday at WWDC10 in San Fransisco, Steve Jobs announced the iPhone 4 with a front face camera and it support video calling. They named it FaceTime, it’s not 3G video calling. Some people might think that 3G video calling has already out in the market for several years, just not many people are using it.

With FaceTime and their cool advertisement, I believe Apple once again reinvent video calling.

One bad thing about FaceTime is it runs via Wi-Fi only, but I guess it will soon available on mobile with unlimited data plan. AT&T data plan sucks because they don’t have unlimited data plan.

Blue Notification Light on Google Nexus One Trackball

Google Nexus One has a trackball on the bottom and it flashes when you have notification like text messages, email, Twitter or other stuff. Usually it’s white in color and just recently, I found out blue light flashing at the trackball when I receive text message. Cool! It happened after I’ve updated my Android to Froyo 2.2. Do you get this or have unlock other color?
