Bought the Apple TV (2nd Generation) from San Francisco’s Apple Store for USD$99 (after tax is USD$107.67 = SGD$136.96).

I wish they sold it in Singapore but because there is no iTunes Movies/TV Shows rental service in Singapore, I doubt it will happen anytime soon. Nevertheless, it is still not a bad media player for that price. Not forgetting that the Apple TV is powered by Apple A4 chip.

Instead of using the provided Apple remote, you can also control your Apple TV with your iPhone/iPad using the Apple Remote App.

You can stream movie from your iPhone/iPad to your Apple TV using AirPlay which I tried and it is awesome!

I just bought Real Racing 2 for iPhone for USD$0.99 as EA is having that as it’s daily deals and I tried AirPlay Mirroring to my Apple TV and it looks great!

In addition to that, you can watch YouTube & Vimeo videos and view Flickr & Photo Stream in iCloud photos on your TV.

After my trip to Google Building 44, I headed down to Apple – The Company Store which is located at 1 Infinite Loop, Cupertino, CA 95014. It is about 15 minutes drive from Google Building 44.

The famous “I visited the mothership” t-shirt is no longer in print, and now the new t-shirt design prints “I visited the Apple campus, but that’s all I’m allowed to say.”

Each t-shirt cost USD$16.95 before tax and most of them are Made in USA.

I visited the Apple campus, but that’s all I’m allowed to say.

The Apple iPhone Micro USB Adapter is currently only being sold in the UK Apple Stores (both online and retail) for £8.00 (SGD$16.23).

I bought it from the Apple Store at Regent Street when I was there in London for Nokia World 2011. I think it is a good gift to give to people who are Apple fans because you can’t get it anywhere else in the world!

Bought the Apple World Travel Adapter Kit before my flight to London in iStudio located in Changi Airport Terminal 3 for SGD$54.21. Since I was departing to London and have a valid boarding pass, I do not need to pay the 7% GST/tax, if not the normal price is SGD$58.

The Kit is designed to work with iPod, iPhone, iPad, Apple MagSafe Power Adapters (for MacBook and MacBook Pro), Portable Power Adapters (for iBook and PowerBook), and AirPort Express.

The AC plugs included in the World Travel Adapter Kit directly support outlets in North America, Japan, China, United Kingdom, Continental Europe, Korea, Australia, and Hong Kong.
