Just recent Switch World, a expo by Switch to promote Apple products to local, I bought something there, not Apple related but it’s an accessories for the phone and also can be used for the iPod or other electronic device, so stay tuned for the next post to know more about it.

The something I bought was placed in a paper bag instead of a plastic bag, it’s pretty cool to see they uses paper bag, very environmental friendly and it’s pretty. Haha. When you buy small stuff from Switch like iPod, iPhone, they will put it in these paper bags.

HTC Legend and HTC Google Nexus One


When I first get my Google Nexus One, I was the only one among my friends who uses an Android mobile phone. So far, I have friends use iPhone, Symbian, Sony Ericsson, Blackberry, Windows Mobile but no Android. So I assumed I was the first among my friends who uses an Android.

And now, I found a friend who uses Android too and he’s Kenny, a geek like me, just signed up for DiGi’s DG Smartplan and bought the HTC Legend on a discounted price. I guess more and more people will go for Android already because Maxis and DiGi are selling it.

HTC Google Nexus One still rocks with bigger screen. Haha, but my rival HTC Desire is cool!

I Bought A CLIPtec USB In-Car Charger


DSC04362 by nicholaschan

If you are wondering what’s CLIPtec, it’s actually an OEM brand in Malaysia and they outsource stuff from China and brand it under their name. I realized that my phone, the Nexus One and Nokia N95 would probably go low battery at night or during the day when I surf the day a lot and I am always on-the-go, so I need a charger in my car. I went to the computer store and bought this USB charger, now I can charge my phone with the USB cable and never worry of my battery run dry.

Harman Kardon GLA-55 Spotted and Very Expensive


I went into Switch, an authorized Apple store here in Penang, Malaysia yesterday and spotted an expensive pair of speakers. The design is like a crystal with the speaker hole in front. It’s the Harman Kardon GLA-55. It’s also my first time knowing about this pair of speakers. What amazed me was not the sound quality but the price tag. It’s RM3299 (around 1026US$)!

It must be very pro, but at this moment, I guess I wouldn’t spend so much on the speaker. I have my own home theater system in room and another 5.1 Creative speaker connected to my PC and the sound rocks too.

Chinese Rechargable LED Flashlight

I went to look for torch light in hardware store few weeks ago before I went to in the National Service camp. At first, I was thinking to look for those military style Chinese made LED torch, they look very cool, but somehow I couldn’t find it and I didn’t want torch which doesn’t uses LED. LED is brighter and save energy.

I found this for RM10 (3USD), pretty cheap, bright and best part of all it doesn’t need battery. There’s built in rechargeable battery and I only need to plug it into normal power socket to recharge it.

So far, I have been using it for quite some times already and I didn’t even recharge it, means the battery life is quite lasting.

I Bought the Google Nexus One


Oh yeah people. Apple didn’t announce anything about iPhone 4G or OS 4.0 so which means that I won’t be getting the iPhone. I’ve been using Symbian for 2 years already and it’s time for a change, actually wanted an iPhone but due to the cockyness of iPhone and price, I’ve decided to go for the Google Nexue One.

You know right, iPhone here in Malaysia was like I can’t get the phone on the spot, I have to pay for deposit and wait the phone for at least a month. I hate this, I’ve money already still I can’t get the phone. Although iPhone is now available in store, still Nexus One has a better specs and a faster processor. What I want is a fast phone, my N95 is very slow and lags a lot.

Although Malaysia is not in their testing market, my brother who is in Singapore helped me to get in and the ETA is 10 days and I will be checking the status everyday. For sure, I will have the phone before Chinese New Year which falls on the valentine’s day too! =)

Stay tune for some Android updates here when I get the phone. Very excited right now.
