So far, very little is known about the [...]

In the first part of the roundup, we tallied the entries on the Techgoondu LG TV contest, and Apple iPhone emerged as the favourite gadget of 2008.
In this article, we’ll be looking at some of the other gadgets that our readers picked, and why they picked these devices.

The Techgoondu readers have spoken.
For our recently concluded contest, in which we’re giving away an almost brand new S$5,000 42-inch LCD TV (kindly sponsored by LG), the favourite geek gadget of 2008 is a product that needs little introduction.
It has been ubiquitous in tech news throughout this year. It has legions of rabid fans, and [...]

How’d you like an unlocked iPhone 3G at S$878?
Local newspaper Apple Daily has reported yesterday (see the 27th Sep edition if you read traditional Chinese) that parallel imported iPhone 3Gs here in Hong Kong are now priced between HK$4,780 (SG$878) to HK$4,880, while the 16GB version is between HK$5,780 (SG$1061) to HK$6,080.

Hong Kong’s online Apple Store has started selling unlocked iPhone 3Gs! To my knowledge, its the only Apple Store to be doing that. Not cheap though!
The 8GB is HK$5,400 (SG$990) and the 16GB is HK$6,200 (SG$1,133). Ouch. Shipping is free, and its supposed to ship “within 24 hours”.
The site says: “iPhone 3G purchased at the [...]

Gizmodo has a good post some time back on the real world [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Hutchinson/3 here in Hong Kong recently announced their iPhone prices and their mandatory subscription plans here.
To cut to the chase, it seems like if you’re thinking of getting an iPhone at an uncontracted price for use in Singapore - fat chance, at least for now. 3’s FAQ says:

Will standalone iPhone 3G handset be available for [...]
