Apple iPhone 4 Universal Dock Adapters
When I got my iPhone 3G in 2008, I hunted everywhere for the universal dock adapter, finding it nowhere on Apple Singapore or at resellers. I only found one a year later in Taiwan at an authorised reseller.

The iPhone 3G era, from telco launches and price plans to early docks and cases.
iPhone 3G/3GS USB Desktop Sync & Charge Cradle Review
Received my Apple iPhone 3GS/3G USB Desktop Sync & Charge Cradle from MobileFun yesterday. At just £9.99 it's a great alternative to Apple's own iPhone 3G Dock and Universal Dock, working exactly the same, bundling cradle, cable and charger.
External Backup Battery Charger For iPhone 3G
I found this really cheap external battery charger for the iPhone 3G via HardwareZone forums. The seller, free-4-flying in Hong Kong, runs occasional sales; I've seen it as low as US$6.99, though I paid US$8.48, around S$11.87 including shipping.
Gmail With Push On iPhone Using Prowl And Your Own Webserver
Before I start this tutorial, full credit to crimsontwo from xSellize and joshua.menke; I've merely improved on crimsontwo's work. In his thread on running the Prowl Python script on your iPhone, he explains how to get Gmail push working.
SingTel iPhone 3GS Launch Event

Belkin Auto Charger For iPod And iPhone
Last Wednesday, the Apple Store Singapore ran a one-day shopping event with online discounts, though they were pretty paltry, just S$20 off an iPod nano. Still, S$20 off beats nothing, so I grabbed a Belkin charger.
Creative EP-630i Stereo Headset
I flew to Jakarta for one day to attend Sugih's wedding. My Valuair flight left on 9th January 2009 at 1.35pm, returning the next day at 3.20pm. His wedding was on the 9th at 7pm at Hotel Mulia Senayan.
Configuring iPhone/iPod Touch WLAN For NUS Wireless
Here's a tutorial on configuring your iPhone, iPhone 3G/3GS or iPod Touch to connect to NUS Wireless. We use the NUS SSID rather than NUSOPEN, since NUS is PEAP-protected and much faster. Note an iOS 4 bug affects this too.
My iPhone 3G Springboard
I've been swamped with school lately, despite a one-week holiday I spent catching up on never-ending assignments. There seems to be one due every week, all report writing, which basically tests your Googling, paraphrasing and, frankly, smoking skills.
SwitchEasy Capsule Neo For iPhone 3G
I bought the black SwitchEasy Capsule Neo case for my iPhone 3G for S$49.90 from GizmoSquare on Tanjong Pagar Road. I like that I can pay by PayPal online and collect at the physical store.

It's been a while since I blogged about my personal life, and I haven't watched a movie in over a month; my last was The Dark Knight in KL. I've also just finished my first week of school.

It looks exactly like the old iPhone, but it's much cheaper: US$199 for 8GB and US$299 for 16GB, around S$272 and S$408 respectively, though both require a two-year contract. The key difference is the addition of 3G.
