iPhone 4S

I think some people may feel disappointed as Apple didn’t push out iPhone5,they only show iPhone 4s on the stage which is merely an upgraded version of iPhone 4.They are twins actually,they have exactly the same appearance.

Well,for those who want to get an iPhone but not yet owned,iPhone 4S still has the merits.Engadget has made a group of comparisons for us.

The latest iOS 5 will be publicly released on next Wednesday-12 October 2011 with more than 200 new features and enhancements.The cutting-edge feature in this new iOS is called Siri which is the most advanced voice control technology.It can understand human language accurately and responsibly.That’s so great,but unfortunately this feature may only be supported in iPhone 4S.

Currently the prices of iPhone 4 have been dropped in some countries.If you wanna save pocket,you might just get the old iPhone 4 as it’s been quite good.If you wanna get a faster and more powerful one,iPhone 4S fits your need.

Get free gift from U Mobile

As I posted before,U Mobile held a top-up and win contest with Maybank last month.The gifts include Samsung Galaxy Tab,ZTE HSDPA modem and free sms credits.I’m so lucky to get a free modem as the gift and collected it yesterday at U Mobile service center,Berjaya Times square.

U Mobile also gave us some surprise-free one month mobile broadband(MB40 plan) for the coming August with a new SIM which was registered on site.

The free modem is ZTE MF190 which supports HSDPA 7.2Mbps/USUPA 5.76Mbps.I think it’s good enough for most mobile broadband users.But if you’re living at U Mobile’s upgraded HSPA+ coverage area and want to fully utilize it,you may go to buy a HSPA+ modem instead,hopefully it won’t be too costly.

The design is very simple.It has a SIM slot and a microSD slot,both are hidden under the cover that you’re not going to find it easily.The size is moderate as well as its weight.I will test the performance when the free period starts.Stay tuned if you’re interested!

I like U Mobile more now because they always throw out all kinds of goodies for the customers.I just hope U Mobile could keep improving the quality of network.The worst thing I met when using U Mobile is sometimes I can’t get data connections while roaming at Celcom 2G network.And I know I’m not alone.

U Mobile,could you solve this problem?I’m waiting.

Samsung:We could do better than Apple does

Samsung recently releases a TV commercial for the latest pioneer product:Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1-a powerful touch screen device with NVIDIA TEGRA 2 dual-core 1GHz processor,2MP front camera,3MP autofocus back camera with LED flash and multiple sensors with sharp 10.1 inch WXGA TFT LCD display.

It’s working with Android 3.1-the upgraded version of Gingerbread which provides more features and customize functions compared to the former 3.0 version and has been tuned to work better than ever.In this commercial,Samsung seems to make lots of comparisons with Apple iPad 2,such as support of Adobe Flash.Let’s watch it!

Do you think Apple will shoot it back to Samsung or perhaps Android?I think the answer will be quite affirmative.Time will prove it. :P

HTC Flyer with Maxis Ultimate Solid Plan

Days ago,Maxis introduced a group of new mobile internet plans called ‘ultimate plus,ultimate pro and ultimate solid,together with the official release of HTC Flyer.

With subscribing ultimate solid plan,customers could get an HTC Flyer with only RM195 cost after 24 months.Don’t be so happy since ultimate solid plan itself is not cheap at all.

That means you should pay RRP for HTC Flyer first when you subscribe ultimate solid plan and get RM96 monthly rebate for 24 months with actually paying RM152 monthly to enjoy the service.Most people still play with those tablets as sort of  entertainment devices on the go,I don’t think 16GB is really needed as nowadays quite a number of places have free WiFi connections.
