Rumors have been circulating around the Internet, blogs, twitter this few weeks about the tablet that will be announcing my Apple. Every year, at this time of the year, Apple will have an Apple event, announcing their latest stuff. Mostly, this time will be more on software and a little on hardware, probably not iPhone or iPod.
So, Apple maybe talking about
the iPhone’s carrier.
the iPhone OS 4.0.
Apple Tablet! (named iPad? iSlate?)
In addition, I hope they will update the line of MacBooks with new processor. Very excited about it. The live coverage will be cover by a few tech blog tomorrow at 1am Malaysian Time (28th January 2010) or 10am Pacific Time (27th January 2010).
Google Nexus One is a “superphone” marketed and released by Google. Yes, you hear me right, the people at Google called it the superphone instead of a smartphone or iPhone killer. Google does not manufacture the hardware but they partner with Taiwan-based HTC to release this mobile phone and everything are marketed and branded under Google.
When it’s Google, it’s Android and it’s the latest Android 2.1, only on Nexus One at this short moment. I believe there will be a 2.1 update very very soon for other Android hardware.
I am quite interested in this phone because it’s running on the 1GHz Snapdragon processor (same as the HD2) and sounds like faster than the iPhone and the Motorola Droid, the real speed need to be determine after some times of usage first.
After seeing many photos of the phone, it looks good, sounds good, seems good, but the one problem is how do I get it? Google is selling it online, they don’t have any concept stall and soon will be going into some major company like Best Buys and via telco’s shop.
The latest source is that the nearest country that will getting the Nexus One is Singapore, then Hong Kong. Phone demand in Malaysia is low especially an Android device. Hopefully someone here will bring in the Nexus One or else I’ll ask my brother to get me one in Singapore.
I want to wait for it, gonna put iPhone, Motorola Droid or the N900 back, guess I’ll switch from Symbian to Android now. =)
Oh my god! This is too good to be true, but don’t be happy yet until the real thing is out, at least on their website first. I read the news today and it’s about Astro CEO talking about the HD content for Astro, the satelite TV in Malaysia. I felt bullshiting after reading the news, because she should had said all these 2 years back. What’s the time now? It’s almost 2010 and Hong Kong and Singapore are so ahead from us on HD content. Not good to be mad though because we have to accept the fact.
So, Astro will launching their high-definition content next month (it’s from the news) and will releasing a new PVR (Personal Video Recorder) next year, hopefully it’s something on par with the Tivo or better.
According to Astro, the HD set-top box will be available by year-end, and an external HDD for PVR can be added optionally, meaning that they will not be releasing a HD PVR set-top box by year end.
I personally think that HD content is good, I would definitely switch to it, but somehow I don’t really watch HD sports because I am not into sports, documentary in HD maybe cool etc. National Geographic HD, and I wouldn’t want to watch delayed American series because I am following what’s showing in the US, downloaded directly from the net, so guess if the HD is here, I would probably watching Hong Kong’s TVB drama in HD. That’s all.
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.
The world thinnest laptop is not the MacBook Air or the Lenovo X300, it’s Dell’s latest Adamo XPS. It’s now out in their online store, selling for RM6999 in Malaysia.
I wonder how did they do it, making it so slim, yet powerful and have point 1 inch bigger than MacBook Air. The most interesting part is opening the latch, it’s different from any laptop out there. You swipe your finger on a capactive bar, and a blue lights will indicate the Adamo XPS is open. Pretty cool right?
Unfortunate for the US because they can get it from December 22 while we, living Asia can get it directly from the online store.
Wonder why will Apple revise and redesign their MacBook Air, will they?
Rumors have been circulating around the net about Apple CEO Steve Jobs health problem. The community on Twitter is fast updating, Steve Jobs has just wrote a letter and posted on Apple site about his health issue.
It’s a hormone imbalance that causing him to lose weight.
