Version 3.0 releases (iPhone OS, WordPress, lesterchan.net v3.0), plus a 30-inch monitor and a 30th-birthday note.
Yesterday was my 30th birthday, the big three-oh, and I'm officially out of my twenties. I've just returned from a week's holiday in Sydney with Li Xiang. It's a lovely place to retire, though generally pricier than Singapore.
Thanks to Dell Singapore, I got to spend two weeks with the Dell UltraSharp U3011 30-inch Monitor, which retails for S$1,509. Like upgrading a computer, once you move to a bigger screen you never look back.
The Prada Phone by LG 3.0 retails for S$1,088 without contract. LG holds a one-day sale at its LG LIVE Store in Marina Bay Sands on 21st January 2012, where every purchase comes with a limited edition LG Prada Cradle.
WordPress 3.0, named Thelonious, has been released. The thirteenth major release and the result of half a year of work by 218 contributors, it's available to download or upgrade in-dashboard, headlined by a sleek new default theme, Twenty Ten.
Apple has announced iPhone OS 3.0, arguably the OS the iPhone should have shipped with. Expected features include in-app purchases, peer-to-peer connectivity, custom apps talking directly to hardware, turn-by-turn navigation, push notifications, and finally cut, copy and paste.
I've brought lesterchan.net's launch forward a few days, since I may be busy on the original date of 9th June 2008. After more than four years on the same layout, version 2.0 is finally replaced by version 3.0.
