Finally, there’s one more channel on StarHub - the long-awaited free-to-air HD5 from MediaCorp, which promises “true HD” channels during primetime (the rest are up-converted).
The channel is supposed to have started on July 28 (yesterday) - just in time for the July deadline set by MediaCorp/StarHub and of course, just in time, for both the [...]

The BlackBerry Bold has landed here in Hong Kong. Well, at least some of it cos Smartone-Vodafone is allowing pre-orders here and PCCW Mobile has launched it here.
I’m excited. GPS, Wifi, HSDPA, Qwerty keyboard, 480×320 screen resolution - this is possibly THE device that can replace my aging Treo 650. Now let me go find [...]

If you have been holding out for a new top-end graphics card, here’s a little bit of good news.
Sim Lim Square stores like Cybermind and Bell and online retailers like Potterhouse are (finally) selling some Nvidia GTX 280 cards for S$699 this weekend (down from S$799), reflecting the price drop that gamers in the US [...]

You’ve probably seen those Apple ads that proclaim that there are no/few viruses for Macs.
Well, it doesn’t matter that virus writers don’t bother with Macs because they only take up less than 5 per cent of the world’s personal computer market.
But guess what, now that Apple’s iPhone is hyped up to be the best thing [...]

Pay-TV challenger SingTel came up with a pretty interesting proposition today: How would you like to watch the latest episodes of Lost, Prison Break and other hit US drama series just 24 hours after they are screened over there?
It said it has signed a deal with three major US studios - Disney-ABC, 20th Century Fox [...]

Step 3
The journey continues… After buying an external hard drive, the next thing to do is to hook that up to a laptop or PC.
Do you have an old or second hand computer laying around? The good news is that old PCs sound every bit as good - when it comes to serving digital music [...]

Went by Mongkok so had a look at the cellphone shops. As per Alfred’s post and the postings on local Mac lists, the 16GB 3G iPhones were indeed out in full force. Prices were 8800 to 9800 HKD or about S$1525 to S$1698. Way too rich for my blood.
Interestingly, with the stocks of 2.5G iPhones [...]

Being a huge DS fan, I’ve been tinkering with my device ever since I got it last year.
With the right mods, the Nintendo DS Lite can be far more than a portable gaming platform — and can be used to run any number of fun homebrewed apps. In my opinion the DS is probably one [...]

So, you can’t wait for SingTel to bring the hyped-to-the-heavens 3G iPhone? Well, since the red camp missed the July 11 launch, you can get one from places where the gizmo is sold.
One place would be Hong Kong, where my bro Paddy says they cost a whopping S$1,700 to S$,2000 in retail shops. No SIM [...]

On the face of it - a rather “thin” face of it - Creative seems to have finally come up with a solid MP3 player with its Zen X-Fi.
This little gizmo is slim at just 12.8mm (a few credit cards thick) and should fit into the pocket well. Yet it has most of what the [...]
