I plan to buy my first laptop end of this month or early next month. My initial plan was HP Pavilion tx2520AU Tablet but it obsolete already. Its latest HP TouchSmart tx2z model is too expensive for me.

While choosing another model, I reduce the budget to between $2000 to $2500 (RM). This is to save some money for a DSLR camera!

An intermediate performance model should serve purpose of minimal multimedia and mainly for blogging and Internet.

Compaq Presario CQ40 or CQ20?

After browse through laptops in the range, I found Compaq CQ40-154TU and CQ20-213TU suit my needs in term of performance, capacity, design and price.

The specifications for the two models are similar except disk capacity and screen size. CQ40 has larger 14″ screen and capacity 320GB while CQ20 only 12-inch and 250GB. I like mobility of 12″ screen but have to pay more $60 (RM) for it. Why pay more for smaller screen and capacity huh? (more…)

Do you think the lady is winking or smiling at you? Don’t misunderstand, she is just controlling her iPod using her face.

The Mimi Switch invented by Japanese researcher Kazuhiro Taniguchi. It is a set of earphones containing  infrared sensors. This lets the earpiece sense tiny movements inside the ear caused by facial expressions then translate them into commands for music device, like iPod.

In fact, not only iPod it can be programmed to control other electronic devices.

Can you imagine we can play, stop, forward, rewind or even choose playlist by just winking, smiling or sticking out your tongue like this cute model? (more…)

iPhone 3G is finally official landing on Malaysia by Maxis mobile. Very excited news for iPhone lover after waiting for one and half year huh?

Of course there are also many iPhone lovers can’t wait and bought the unofficial iPhone 3G months ago.

Maxis Come at Right Time

It has been almost one year I heard rumors about Maxis launching iPhone. This long awaiting gadget is too over emphasize until some people hate on it.

For me, it still a cool toy. Unbeatable huge multi-touch screen for Internet access with phone call function. Maxis launch at right time on this 2nd generation iPhone 3G.

With more build in features (GPS, 3G), it should attract more customer than its predecessor.

Maxis iPhone 3G Plan

The most cost effective for normal usage user is 12 month contract i-Value 1. $1900 (RM) for the iPhone 3G 8GB price and $100 (RM) monthly commitment. It is quite attractive by looking at this price. (more…)

When I received the gifts from LiveSpeakR, it didn’t has proper printed box. This due to Chinese New Year holiday season and they have promised to send out the item that week. They kept the promise. I so proud that I’m one of the first user that receive this new LiveSpeakR in the world!

Since I’m one of the first, you maybe don’t know what LiveSpeakR is. Do you?

What is LiveSpeakR? LiveSpeakR is a unique ultra-portable speaker system that fits in your pocket! It features a set of high quality speakers that fold-up and store conveniently behind the device for maximum portability. The speakers can be expand and rotate to work for both landscape and portrait modes.

Let’s review some noticeable advantage of this portable sound speakers system.

• Provide a sound boost to the iPod touch and iPhone. I swear the sound produce doesn’t lose to your normal computer speaker. Plus it has surrounding sound. That’s why I said the sound bigger than it’s size.
• Transform 3-click system make it move like Transformer. Make storage and setup easier. It also flexible that support multiple viewing angles.
• Should say it is “Real” portable speakers system. Build-in re-chargeable Lithium Ion Battery. Let your iPhone or iPod shout out loud even without a wall power plug, during vacation.

Further, it is compatible and work with iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPod Touch, iPod Touch 2G and iPod Classic. I hope they don’t stop here, but keep improve for better. (more…)
