Samsung M1 and R1 mp3 players coming soon

The Samsung YP-R1, at least from the pictures, looks like a slimmed-down version of the YP-P3, measuring just 8.9mm thin. It is touted as the world's first DivX-certified MP3 player and comes with a 2.6-inch touchscreen and TV output (via USB). Available in only 8GB capacity, the Samsung YP-R1 is offered in black or silver (no pink, sadly) at a recommended retail of S$299 (US$212.15).

The R1's bigger brother, the YP-M1, is made from scratch-resistant metal. It features a 3.3-inch AMOLED touchscreen, DNSe sound enhancements, a microSD slot that supports up to 16GB capacity, built-in stereo speakers and Bluetooth capabilities. It also promises smooth HD video playback of up to 720p. It will be available with either 8GB or 16GB of internal storage capacity. The 32GB version we first saw on Samsung's Korean Web site will not be available in Singapore. The YP-M1 is slated for December, in only one color--black. We'll keep you updated with availability in Asia as well as the pricing for the music player.

32GB M1 not available for Singapore? Bad news indeed. Will have to see if the price is competitive enough. December is still a long way. Hoping for more reviews to help me decide between this or the Cowon S9.

Goals for the month

I guess I have to come out with this because I am quite lazy to get things done. This is especially true for my mylot account, where I am struggling to meet the cashout amount.

All the goals are valid till the month of october 2009

1. Hit $5 for mylot
2. Get an increase in blog traffic (details to come soon)
3. Hit 30 blog post

To be updated soon!

Debut nightmare for Fantasy League

Damn, what a bad start for FDS SBAB Fantasy Premier League for me! Right at the end of the table! And I left Bent and Geovani on the bench! Not to mention how my expensive Liverpool trio fail to perform at Standford Bridge.

I have been doing some research on players (damn sian ah) who has the best value for points. Hopefully I can catch up with the table on 17 October when gameweek 9 opens!

Samsung YEPP YP-M1 or Cowon S9

If I am looking for an iTouch alternative, I will go for either of these players. The Cowon S9 has great reviews all over the internet. Great music quality, awesome AMOLED screen. Samsung nearest competitor then was the Samsung P3, but it loss out in the screen and music department. Now the YP-M1 boost an AMOLED screen too and a really cool interface. Can't wait for it to be release.

I will certaily need a lot of internet reviews on these two players before I make a decision!

Titus Bramble, an intersting guy

Anyone who knows the EPL will know Titus Bramble, the clumsiest defender in the world. He isn't that bad, but in the EPL he is the worst. Just look at the number of own goal he score. Seriously, he should be a striker instead. I discovered some great youtube video to prove that!

Titus Bramble the striker!



Titus Bramble in the crossbar challenge! 1:33



Titus Bramble trying to score against his own goalkeeper. Great save by Shay Given lol!



Titus Bramble Stumbles

Well, at least he do score at the correct end once in a while!

Newcastle Untied still cmi ah

A draw to QPR. Noooo. Newcastle is a BPL Club!! Hopefully this season in the championship will sort out all the problems. Injury is still very common in Newcastle, and it is very frustrating. What is wrong man?!

The curse is back Owen!

Damn, an injured Owen. And after all the talk about his high level of fitness. Damn. Must be all the bad feng shui absorbed from the 4 years in Newcastle. Get well soon Owen!
