Samsung Galaxy SII

The Samsung Galaxy SII is about to make its presence in Malaysia and Maxis will be the first telco carrier to reveal the plan with the phone.
If you are looking for an extremely good bargain, Maxis will be offering a RM799 for the first 300 customers. That is right...you will find yourself needing to lineup for this great bargain but this is the best offer so far.


Besides that, Maxis will also be offering an additional RM200 off for those that subsribe for the package between 22June to 22July 2011.

The bundled offer will be the Value Plus plan with Data bolt-on contract over 12, 18 and 24 months. Most people will probably prefer the 24 months contract where there will be either 1.5 or 3GB data. The phone will then be at the price of RM1399. If you are one of those who subscribe between 22June-22July 2011, you will be able to get yours at only RM1199.

Galaxy Tab 10.1 vs iPad2

I was actually thinking about blogging on the features of these 2 devices. But then, I saw an advertisement by Samsung that shows the important feature lacking in an iPad2....and the Galaxy Tab 10.1 has an impressive credentials with its Flash integration!!



I am having so much fun watching the ads...I'm going to continue the post for those who want to compare these two but I guess from the ads, we already have a clear winner...

It's time to Tab

It's time for a better tablet...it's time to Tab, according to Samsung when they promote the newly designed Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. Now, let's not get mixed up with the old design of Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, which has later been renamed as Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1V. The older version is thicker and heavier but it comes with a 8MP rear camera. Then, the older version also does not have a TouchWiz customization on top of Android, which means it will be a perfectly Google experience. Anyway, the new one comes out and is expected to be on sales in the United States on the 8th of June. (2 days from now and it makes me wonder when will it arrives Malaysia)

Anyway, I won't talk about the Tab 10.1V but so as to make sure that you are not confused by the advertisement, the newly Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 has a 3MP rear camera only and is capable of shooting HD video as well.

The big question mark is this: why reduce the 8MP to a 3MP..but let us not forget that the newly design Samsung Galaxy Tab is made after considering the design and specification of the iPad2. So, 3MP from Samsung is still good enough to match iPad2. So, what is so good about the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1.

Well, it definitely comes with a better design...If you don't believe it, despite of the large screen, the Tab is the lightest and thinnest screen tablet available in the market now. The amazingly thin and light body definitely make a lot of difference when you are on the go. The first thumbs up against the iPad2!!

You can have the black or the white ones...

Well, we all know that Apple boast about the retina display before but here, Samsung is talking about a high definition 10.1" display. With this, you can enjoy much better display and all the movies, photos and apps will be entertaining you with rich graphic display. Another thumbs up against the iPad2!!

With Samsung redesign model, the Tab now has a better home screen. It is customizable and all these make email, image galleries and your favourites to be easily accessible. If you are familiar with live update, it is also available for you despite of the ways you arrange your social network, email and favourites. It will be refreshed to be accessed by you at any time. Now that will blow the iPad2 apps icons...

Multitasking is also another feature that the Samsung Galaxy Tab has an edge over the iPad2...There are MiniApps available where you can access to the common apps that you have been using. Now, we know of the capability of multitasking in Android, which is way better than the Apple products...so here is another one that the Tab has better over the iPad2.

The Tab is also good in speed and web browsing...while this might not probably be better than the iPad2 especially in terms of web browsing, the Tab also has the Flash feature which is very much lacking in both the iPad2, iPad and also the iPhone...

If you have been listening and hearing about the rumours regarding the Tab, you will also know that it is way competitive with all other top tablets available in the market in terms of music, reading, office work and others. After all, it runs on the Android Honeycomb, the latest for tablets. It is amazing that in terms of communication, the Tab is also a thumbs up!!

And let us not forget about accessories...we have heard about the iPad 2 before and the Tab is not lacking in accessories as well. The Keyboard case and Keyboard Dock makes it work just like another netbook and with better graphic, speed and longer battery lifespan...

Well, I am not sure about you but even after the revised version come out with only a 3MP rear camera, I think it is sufficient for usage and the Tab 10.1 has definitely beat iPad2 in all areas, even in terms of pricing, it is on equal ground. I also find it more captivating and attractive since the Tab also comes with the USB port, something that is lacking in iPad2...Maybe it is time for Apple to work on the iPad 3...or if not, I am sure the best tablet of the year 2011 will be going to the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1

[GAMES] Angry Birds (RIO)

Alright, I am not a gamer but since YenLeng and some of my friends are playing Angry Bird (RIO), I decided to share my thoughts about one of the most famous game for smartphone. First of all, Angry Birds is like the Halo for XBox for smartphone, all the more for iPhone. Well, I'm not saying that Angry Birds is not popular among Android users but I find it more satisfying playing the Angry Birds on my iPhone 4 than Chin Sian's HTC Desire HD or YenLeng's HTC Aria. (Probably due to the graphic and blame it on the occassional lag in the Android phones due to the advertisement...after all, there is only free version in Malaysia Android market.)

Okay...first of all, I used to ask this question: "What makes Angry Birds so addictive? I mean it is not a super good game...but why is it so popular despite the fact that Angry Birds is not a free game."

When I played Angry Birds the last few days, I find it pretty interesting. Of course, credit must be given to the cute looking birds but I guess it is because of the different ways of going through each stage. One could easily go through every stage by either freeing all the birds or killing all the monkeys...that's where I am so far. But the difficult part is probably to earn 3 stars for each stage and I think it is a good game to occupy your time when you are waiting for someone or when you have some free time on your own.

My record: all 3 stars in all stages...I make sure I only advance when I got 3 stars...

Then, of course, I realize that there are some stories actually when you passed through one episode...I'm done with the episode on the Smugglers' Den and am playing the Jungle Escape now. It's quite interesting actually.

Well, one thing for sure is that...it change my mind about Angry Birds after playing it. I won't say it is an app that one cannot live without but it is definitely a very good game...that's why it is one of the top ones you find. Ask anyone with an iPhone or an Android phone and they will tell you about Angry Birds...so if you are new to iPhone and are looking for games to buy, this is definitely the one you must go for.
