Samsung phones, storage, and displays, from Galaxy flagships to SSDs and SD cards.
Google announced the Galaxy Nexus and Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich yesterday in Hong Kong. Made by Samsung, the Galaxy Nexus will arrive in November 2011, running a 1.2GHz dual-core OMAP 4460 processor with a 4.65-inch 1280x720 display.
Microsoft Singapore officially launched Windows Phone 7.5 yesterday, bringing more than 500 new features and enhancements. The HTC Radar, at a recommended S$569, and the Samsung Omnia W, at S$498, are the first Windows Phone 7.5 handsets here.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 with 3G (16GB) is now available in Singapore at S$848 without contract. Samsung launched its sale on 19th August 2011, pairing the Tab's ultra-thin form factor with a lightweight design.
The Samsung Galaxy S2 (16GB) is available in Singapore from 24th June 2011 for S$998 without contract. It runs a dual-core 1.2GHz ARM Cortex-A9 with a Mali-400MP GPU on the Orion chipset, paired with 1GB of RAM and HSPA+ connectivity.
Samsung's Nexus S is now available from all leading mobile retailers at a recommended S$828, contract-free and inclusive of GST. The world's first handset with a contour display, it launches in Singapore on 18 March 2011.
My second hoot from SITEX 2010 is the A.C. Ryan Playon! HD at S$349, bundled with a 2TB drive and a free Wireless N dongle. I chose it because it plays nearly every format, including RM and RMVB.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab will be available in Singapore exclusively to SingTel customers from 13th November 2010, with pre-orders from 30th October to 12th November. Pricing comes on 14th November, offered with SingTel's existing 3G Flexi plans.
Samsung has partnered SingTel to launch the Galaxy S in Singapore, making SingTel the first operator worldwide to carry it. The Galaxy S runs Android 2.1 with a 4-inch Super AMOLED display, less reflective yet vivid, and a 1GHz processor.
Samsung sent me the Lapfit LD190G to review, thanks Daniel! These widescreen monitors promise enhanced productivity and entertainment, designed to pair neatly with laptops and offering USB connectivity for multitasking on the move. A handy companion for a portable setup.
I left for the IT Show 2009 at Suntec City with my brother. I parked at Marina Square to dodge the carpark jam, reaching before 11am with time for a McDonald's breakfast, then headed in to hunt for deals.
My first invitation to a Samsung event, courtesy of PR manager Daniel, after previously reviewing the YP-K3 and VP-MX10. The Samsung Touch Event let us get hands-on with a range of Samsung products in a relaxed, try-it-yourself setting.
Went to Sitex 2008 yesterday with Julian, Kelvin and Weiquan; surprisingly it wasn't very crowded. I'm starting to dislike Sitex for being so far out. This year disappointed: Ban Leong skipped it, so there were no Razer products at all.
My year 3, semester 1 exams are over! Yesterday's last paper, CS4254 IS Project Management, was the hardest of the semester, and most of my friends agreed. The past-year paper was much easier, despite being set by the same lecturer.
My mom just bought a new Samsung RT58EAMT refrigerator for the house, costing about S$915. Its 580-litre gross capacity dwarfs our previous Sanyo SR-37ZB. Still, no single fridge is ever big enough for all of my mom's baking supplies.
My dad's 10am Singapore Airlines flight to Vietnam departs today; he'll be there six months, returning around 17th December 2008, though he may pop back briefly after three. We reached the airport at 8am to see him off.
Samsung kindly sent me a VP-MX10 to review, along with a 4GiB SanDisk SDHC card. As my very first camcorder, this review can't be too in-depth, since I can only compare it against the video feature of my digital camera.
I got hold of the Samsung VP-MX10 last month but had no time to review it amid assignments and exam prep. In brief, it's a PAL camcorder recording to memory, with a CCD image sensor of around 800K pixels.
My first review here, so please be gentle with my skills; it's a home-made, unprofessional effort. In summary, the Samsung YP-K3's sound equaliser is a great feature, its sound quality clearly beats the iPod, and the interface impresses too.
We had the annual Thai Glico dinner at Wan Hao Chinese Restaurant in Marriott Hotel. The boss clearly loves Wan Hao; this is our fourth or fifth time there, a $1,000-a-table affair, always booking two tables, with free-flow drinks.
