What is the best non-camera phone? The iPhone 4S!!

This will no doubt be the best non-camera phone, hands down. Finally, people who works in restricted area that doesn't allow can have a decent smartphone to be proud of. No longer do they need to content with Nokia Brickphone, or awkwardly slow smartphone.




NSF and Regulars in the Singapore Army will also be pleased.

Quoted from Asia Cnet Crave

According to the operator, the camera modules (front and back) are completely removed, not just covered, and "may not be reinstalled". The service has been certified by Singapore's Ministry of Defence (Mindef), which means they will be allowed in army installations in the island-state. This benefits both full-time soldiers and many Singaporean men who are required to fulfill two years of mandatory military service. M1 will issue a certificate with each non-camera iPhone that will identify it as being approved by Mindef.

No doubt they'll sell like hotcakes.

Turn iTouch to iPhone? Possible!

From http://asia.cnet.com/crave/2010/08/11/china-made-peel-case-converts-jailbroken-ipod-touch-to-an-iphone/

Just wondering. Isn't it harder to prevent people from bringing in camera handphone into no camera zones with this device? Tsk tsk...

iPhone 4 new features

New name: Apple is calling its new OS "iOS 4," since it works for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

Multitasking: At long last, we'll be able to run multiple apps--including third-party apps--at the same time.

Football Manager on iPhone

Called "Football Manager Handheld 2010", this is one more reason why people will buy the iPhone/iTouch/iPad. This is also why competitors are struggling to come out with anything to compete with the iPhone/iTouch/iPad. Look at how quite it is at the mp3 market, with little news from music player makers like Samsung, Creative or iRiver.

Football Manager, Sega's famous sports strategy sim that's renowned across Europe for being so addictive it destroys marriages, is now available on the iPhone.

Meaning that budding chairmen can now set strategies, trade players and pull their hair out while on the road, and not just in front of their PC. That'll make the missus happy.

Football Manager Handheld 2010, as this version is called, retains most of the features and depth of its desktop big brother, with over 20,000 real players and 34 leagues to choose from.

It's not the sexiest game on the iPhone, but as far as sports sims go it certainly looks to be the most comprehensive on the platform. That depth comes at a price, however, the game tagged at $10 in the US, £7 in the UK, €10 in Europe and $15 in Australia.

I like the title of this article, "The iPhone Game That Will Wreck Marriages".

Just imagine, FM2010 on the go, on the train, everywhere. Scary.

iPhone a gaming platform?

Quoted from an article in Kotaku

As an avid RPG fan myself, Zenonia was the game that cemented the iPhone as a gaming platform in my eyes. Hopefully the second dose will be just as impressive.

 This is the game the author is talking about.



Not to mention a couple of old games from Square Enix are also available on the iPhone now!

All this are very tempting indeed. Maybe its time to forget about having a PSP and consider buying an iTouch?

Apple new event on 27th January

'latest creation' must really mean something new, and that's a good/exciting thing when Apple comes out with new stuff.

From Engadget

the proceedings will take place at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Theater in San Francisco, and will get underway at 10AM Pacific. 

Its fascinating that this event will take place in an Art Theater, not to mention the 'arty' preview poster. I have a small feeling there won't be much ground-breaking products to be introduced, but well, we will see!

Window 7 vs Apple Snow Leopard

I have to really agree about the 'colourful spinning beachball' as a great annoyance for the Snow Leopard OS. Very very irritating. Is this more of a bug of Snow Leopard, or is more memory needed? My Firefox on Mac always freezes and show the spinning beachball.

Hope this well change. This is giving me doubts about Mac OS being the better operating system.
