Fast Hands-On: HTC One X - I just tried the latest flagship device of HTC One X at the PIKOM PC Fair this afternoon, it’s gorgeous! This device sports a 4.7″ Gorilla Glass display with 720×1280 pixels, super fast 8-megapiel camera, 32GB storage, Quad Core Tegra processor and Android 4.0 ICS software.

Well, the phone is very sleek and has a nice design. Despite its big screen, it feels good on hand with the build quality. What I like and amazed the most is the huge 4.7-inch screen with 16M-color Super LCD 2 capacity touchscreen technology, it’s super sharp, in term of color and pixels. Frankly, the screen is even better than the iPhone’s Retina display. The camera is very fast as advertise with no load time. In term of speed, the quad-core processor do serve well with no lag, perhaps there’s no application installed on the phone which explain the smoothness, but then software technology is getting better on Android.

Overall, the HTC One X is currently the best Android smartphone at the moment, to me, it’s even better than the Sony Xperia S. Right now, I am looking forward for the Samsung Galaxy S3, to see how it’s gonna compete with the HTC One X.

Apacer AH128 16GB Flash Drive – I went to the PIKOM PC Fair today at Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre and bought myself an Apacer flash drive with capacity of 16GB. It’s a standard USB2.0 flash drive, wanted to find a fast Transcend flash drive but couldn’t find it, end up with a normal, not fast, but beautiful design flash drive from Apacer. Since I am not doing some heavy tasking, I just use the flash drive for saving documents and some image for school and work, so I think this slow speed is acceptable.

What I like the most is the small size and the sleek silver design. It costs RM46. What do you think? By the way, Apacer is a Taiwanese brand.

I full-wipe, clear cache, clear dalvik cache, and installed a clean version of it, then recover the backup from the Gingerbread version that I did before wiping. If you are on MIUI, you can Backup directly in the phone, or if you are coming from other ROM, you can use Titanium Backup to do backup.

The current version of ICS MiUI is stable now, and I am using Siyah kernel on my phone. Battery life is not as good as DarkKnight kernel. The UI is polished to be even better with the use of Roboto font and new Clock, Music & Gallery app.

Another thing I realised is it’s not as smooth as Gingerbread, I wonder is it rom problem or hardware problem, but everything is still acceptable and good. ICS features are all in and what I want now is a kernel with a better battery life. Check out more of the screenshot below.

Messaging and Contact.

Pull-down Notification and Setting Toggles.

Home screen.

Multi-task menu and Browser.

Camera and Calculator.

Alarm and Stop Watch.

Music app which I like the most, new UI with auto find lyrics, album arts and you can search for music on the Internet.

Notes app which you can sync to the cloud with Xiaomi account and the File Manger app.

You can download MiUI ROM here and Siyah Kernel here (Your phone must be rooted and have Clockwork Mod Recovery). Now who says iPhone or Windows Phone has the best UI? =D

Watch Livestream BBC World News TV Online – Today, I’m gonna embed here a window for you to watch the live stream of BBC World News TV online on my blog. Why I want to share it out is I believe many people out there are like me who doesn’t have a connected TV, satellite or cable. I now live in a rental room, the only thing I have is an ‘not-so-fast’ Internet connection, and some times I need to be connected to the news channel to get the latest happenings and breaking news around the world, so live streaming is the solution for me.

BBC (British Broadcasing Corporation) World News is a 24/7 world news from the UK showing international news and current affairs.

Enjoy the stream below and please do give a LIKE if you like this.

Well, I think Instagram itself can be better without the acquisition, but then US$1b is a big money. Soon, you will see more Instagram photos on Facebook, Facebook for sure will tweak the very special app to be usable on all device, and desktop, Instagram will be another photo-editing app instead of a social network (that’s not cool).

What do you think?

I downloaded it right away and found out that it’s pretty same with the iPhone version with less sharing option. After all, you still will see a wonderful experience on it with the cool filter effect for your photography. After the release of the app, my friends followers increased and also many iPhone user dislike about the release of this app because they think that this makes the iPhone no difference and special anymore.

What do you think? Download Instagram for Android now on Google Play Store.
