I wonder why they keep showing off Siri, I don’t think it’s very powerful yet. What do you think?

Delicious Ice Cream White Nokia Lumia 800 – When you think that the Apple iPhone is the prettiest phone in the world, take a break, look at the new Nokia Lumia 800 Windows Phone in white! It’s so pretty and delicious. It’s only available in UK at the moment, hopefully it will come to Malaysia too!

Another thing, Lumia 800 is coming to Malaysia via DiGi.

Smartphone vs Tablet / Galaxy Tab 7.7 vs Galaxy Nexus – Samsung now has many different size of tablet, mobile phone and mobile phone + tablet devices for you to choose from, like the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus, 7.7, 8.9, 10.1, Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy Note, Galaxy S2.

The variety of size makes choosing your ideal a bit difficult. Bigger size makes reading and surfing the web comfortable but the portability become poor. Check out this video to see the Galaxy Tab 7.7 vs the Galaxy Nexus.

For me, owning both will be the best of both world.

Talk Crap With SimSimi Chatting Robot On iOS – I found a very stupid app on the Apple AppStore today and it’s more stupid than the Stupidness game. This app is called SimSimi which is a chatting robot that talks back anything to you.

The chat with SimSimi is very nonconstructive and pointless. Just write any stupid thing e.g. eat shit, go to tell, go die, dick and more and SimSimi will reply some funny word to you. I feel it’s very funny and you can teach SimSimi your own question and answer too so if someone says something, SimSimi will response back.

Download SIMSIMI for free on the Apple App Store.

iPhone Green Screen Of Death – I am using an Apple iPhone 3GS, running on 5.0.1, jailbroken with Redsnow and yesterday I occurred the green screen of death! I was sorry cause I did not encounter any of this before except black screen and my iPhone just sent for service not long ago. I thought it was faulty due to jailbreak process or a broken LCD.

After Googling around, the green screen actually represent the battery icon when you are charging at 0% battery. This means that the iPhone’s battery is dead. It’s some bug in the iPhone firmware.

It’s easy to fix this problem, just plug into an electrical outlet, computer recommended with the iPhone USB cable, and let it charge. It will turn back on when it reaches 6% battery.

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.
