Finally, Galaxy S3 has arrived to the SmartPhone Arena. Let’s us compare it to the recently launch HTC One X and other smartphone: Iphone 4s and Nokia Lumia 900.
After many rumours fly though the internet, Samsung finally announced their much exciting phone at London. The new device features all the latest goodies including Exynos quad core 1.4Ghz, 4.8” HD super AMOLED display, 8MP rear camera,NFC, 2100 mah battery and android 4.0. All that in a 8.6mm thick body. It seems that a lot of rumour were right about the spec.
Galaxy S3 also soon has 4G capability model which will allow you surfing the web as fast as on your Unifi optic fiber. I can’t believe that Samsung can actually squeeze so much hardware chips into a 8.6mah. Don’t forget that it will have a 2100 mah battery which Samsung promised to give user a full day usage with their 2012 handsets.
Samsung has learned a lot from Apple and they going to sell Galaxy S3 in Europe from the end of the May before rolling out to global market.Check on the videos and photo gallery.

Samsung Galaxy S3 event is just one week away, and there are quite a lot of leak model appearing on the internet. SamMobile.com has found a sketch service manual that shows Galaxy S3 images and specification.
We can see that the quad core processor is cloaked at 1.5 Ghz instead of the lately announced Exynos 4 quad core 1.4Ghz processor. It has a rounded body and home buttons. The rumored 12 megapixel camera has been reduced to 8 megapixel.
Check out the picture and comment on what do you think of the spec in the photo.
Do you think the real thing will be a disappointment or a big hit in the market? After seeing this, does your palm itch to hold S3’s close rival – HTC One X instead? I do not like the feeling, but I am sensing a let down here. =(
But until then, hope you have a great day and we shall see how the most anticipated model of the year goes down on the 22nd of May.
Today,online storage market has gain some new player on the deck and it is getting crowder than before. So what’s the different between all of them? Below it’s the camparison between the new player like Google Drive and Skydrive and the experienced player which is Dropbox, Box, and Sugarsync.
From what we look at the table, it seems than Skydrive has the most capacity of 7GB and a whopping 25GB if you are an existing user. Google Drive has only 5GB but it has intergrate with Google Docs and apps which can allow user to do online collaboration and other stuff. The other competitor still going strong today but it seems they need to have some more killer features to differentiate them between the freshmen.
Microsoft release updates for Skydrive with desktop apps and updated mobile apps, Loyalty users get 25GB Free.

Cloud storage war has getting increasingly exciting. Microsoft has updates its own online storage “SkyDrive” and make it available in almost any Operating System. It supports Pc ,Mac, Windows Phone and IOS. Sadly there is no official android apps yet but Microsoft is kind enough to recommend some third-party apps.
Microsoft has allow live mail users to have 7GB of storage.However, if you are long time live mail(or hotmail) user, Microsoft has give a free generous upgrade to 25GB of online storage in a limited period. This is by far the largest amount of free online storage. This will post a lot of threat to the famous Dropbox which only give 2GB free storage and the enterprise focus Box which has 5GB free online storage.
After Microsoft respond to cloud storage, Google also joining the war by releasing Google Drive today by giving 5GB for each user. Google is focusing more on the apps feature rather than just giving storage. Developers can create their own apps to integrate Google Drive. It supports a lot of filetype, even Photoshop file can be open to view inside the Google Drive.
Today, Google Drive has been released in Malaysia. Go and try it now.
Take a look of the introductory video of Google drive:
After some users complained about the GPS issue on the new Transformer Prime, Asus listens to their valued customers’ voices and is starting to give out FREE GPS Extension Kit in Malaysia! It’s a definitely a right move for Asus by admitting their mistake instead of just providing update fixes that barely fixes any thing. However, please take note that a small amount of users still experience the GPS issue on their Transformer Prime after installing the extension kit.
Doesn’t know why is this a big deal? Well, let’s put things into comparison. Unlike some company *cough*Apple*cough* who blames their users for the poor reception on their device; Asus actually acknowledges the importance of their customer as the key of success. That is why they go the distance of providing free kits. They’ve even revised their design on their new Transformer 300 that was just released in US to prevent the same issue to happen again. Apple fans or not, this is a gesture that we should learn to appreciate and to expect, from gadgets giants in the future.
Remember this? ^^
So, if you are a Transformer Prime user, i strongly suggested you go to the link below to redeem your GPS toggle for free. No words yet if the extensions kit are made limited or not, so let’s do that as soon as possible.

Well, wish all Transformer Prime-r gets they fixes and until then, have a great day! =)

While Google+ gained some attention in the few weeks before, Google has released a massive redesign over the existing User Interface (UI). The new UI seems much more sleeker and customizable where you can change position and remove icons on the left side. You can also preview the item within the icon by hovering over them.
‘Hangouts’ has always been Google+ unique function for video chatting. Now, it has added a dedicated button on the homepage for quick access to chat with your friends. Posting photo and videos is getting an updates as well. It allows you to view larger photos and add a Explorer tab at the same time.
The new design has started to roll out to some users and more functions are to be expected to come out this week. Google+ currently has more than 90 million users and has been more aggressively trying to lure users into using its platform as an alternative to Facebook.
Do you think it will be on par with Facebook anytime soon, or sometime later, for that matters?
More updates coming soon, so stay tuned with us. Cheers and have a great Monday!
