Do you want an Asus Eee PC or an HP mini?
That seems to be the choice that Sitex shoppers are being asked to make by SingTel and StarHub, as the two broadband operators slug it out in an increasingly saturated broadband market.
Counting personal broadband services like 3.5G offerings, Singapore has a residential broadband penetration of [...]

Do check out Part I, Part II and Part III of Techgoondu’s coverage at Sitex ‘08 if you haven’t, where Alf did a bang-up job covering most of the stuff. Here’s my additional two cents:
Sitex isn’t a show just for electronic gadgets it seems. I saw cars, handbags, exercise equipment, and even one booth selling [...]

Besides the usual TVs and laptops, there are other little bargains to be had at Sitex.
We seem to have forgotten that printers were once the thing to buy at these shows. Visiting the HP booth brought to my attention this nice little gem of a colour laser printer.
The Color LaserJet CP1515n costs a nice S$479 [...]

Okay, on to the other Sitex show bargains on the first day.
One tempting deal comes from Samsung, which is selling its new 14.7-megapixel NV100HD camera for S$599, with loads of freebies thrown in. 3 x 4GB SD card, card reader, 5-in-1 cleaning kit, extra lithium battery, tripod, etc and etc, anyone?
This nifty little number (see [...]

The lelong has begun anew today, with the last of the quarterly computer bazaars being held at Singapore Expo.
What’s the lowdown on the best deals this year? Well, despite the economic downturn and Sitex being usually smaller than the other shows earlier in the year, the halls are chockfull of bargains for those looking for [...]

Dropcast is the first DS game made in Singapore, released in Sept 2008 by Mikoishi. Unfortunately, it was released to very little fanfare here and abroad.
The curse of the indie company is that they have far less resources than the big game publishers, and often the public’s perception of indie games is that they [...]

Core i7-965

It’s been said that recessions come and go but life goes on at Sim Lim Square, that six-storey techie haunt in Singapore, for those unfamilar.
The best evidence comes from the way PC buffs snapped up Intel’s new Core i7s, as they hit the stores late last week.
So popular are these Core i7s that the [...]

This is the final wrap-up to our Techgoondu LG TV contest. Please check Part I and Part II if you’re interested in the whole process!

The 42-inch LG LCD TV (model 42LG70YR)

It was a democratic decision by the goondus.
Some of the votes were really close, and it could easily have been a different result. But in [...]

Yup, scary stuff but the venerable PC Magazine will ending its 27-year-old monthly print magazine. The last issue is on January 2009. Interestingly this magazine managed to move 70-80 per cent of its revenue and profits to its Web version over the last few years. The mag hit a high of 1.2 million in cirulation [...]

Starhub Hubstation HD

Somehow we didn’t catch this piece of news last week, but it’s still worthwhile to mention that StarHub has a new Hubstation PVR that now does HD as well.
This is indeed good news for HD buffs who want to also record their favourite programmes on TV. Previously, there was the useful Hubstation PVR [...]
