Malaysia iPhone 4S Launch On 16 December 2011 - After the long wait, the new Apple iPhone 4S will be landing in the Malaysia land on 16 December 2011. Celcom confirmed the release on 16th December 2011, while Maxis and DiGi do not shows the exact date yet.

The new iPhone 4S features the same design as the iPhone 4 but with improvement in the CPU (Apple A5 dual core), a new 8mp camera, as well as the featured Siri on iOS5.

It will be available on 3 telco, Maxis, DiGi and Celcom. Maxis currently launched the Registration Of Interest page for the iPhone 4S while DiGi and Celcom put up a teaser on their website.

Which telco will you go to? Are you looking forward for the phone?

I have been following the news about Samsung Galaxy S II (S2) lately as it’s one of the most powerful Android phone at the moment, which is a straight rival to the Apple iPhone. The dual-core processor, 8mp camera back and 2mp front face camera, Super AMOLED screen and the sleek design make it the best Android phone now.

Recent news from Samsung reported that they have successfully sold 3 millions units in just 55 days, which is a great milestone when compare to their successor, the original Galaxy S which took 85 days to reach that number.

In Malaysia, there’s hundred over people queues for the phone on launch date by Maxis lately and there have been a high demand for the phone, some retail shop even increases the price from RM2,099 (RRP) to as many as RM2,399.

What do you think about the phone?

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.

Google just had an official event at their HQ in Mountain View and announced their latest project, the Google’s Chrome OS (Operating System). Rumors were going around before that, some believes and some don’t and finally the thing is real. They go opensource which means things can be easily tweaked, hacked, coded by coders.

Google targeted it to be used on netbook because of it’s simplicity and ease of use and since it’s open source, it’s free and most of the installed apps are web apps.

Looking at the UI, it’s just like the Google Chrome web browser and yes, you can say that the whole browser is your OS.

Since it’s just announced, hard to conclude that it’s the best OS for the netbook and Internet use. I believe it won’t be replacing your desktop OS any soon or never. There’s like Linux, Fedora, Windows 7 and some even hack and installed Mac on the netbook. Well, I believe most people will go for a Windows pre-installed netbook. But being a geek, I would want to try it.

In a simple words, Chrome OS is OS in a Google Chrome Web Browser with applications and functionality.

I am using Windows 7 on my Acer AspireOne and is loving it. If it wasn’t the hardware problem, I would have already install a Hackintosh on it.

What OS do you run on your netbook?
