What is BlackBerry JamHack 2012?
Been waiting for this! Right now the NFC feature on my Galaxy Nexus is pretty useless, it can only read EZ-Link cards. But in the future, we can finally take public transport and pay using our mobile phones!
Press Release
Saw this picture on @lupcheong ‘s tweet!
In-N-Out Burger might be coming to Singapore! The event advertised below might be a food tasting session or a trial to see the response in Singapore! Hopefully they will make it to Singapore =D
Just a heads up, starting from August 2012, I will be giving away a Logitech Gaming Product via a Twitter contest every month for the next 3 months, totalling S$620, so watch for it. The contests will be open to all my readers based in Singapore only (sorry about that).
These 3 Logitech products are (not in any particular order):
The day has come! Apple launches iTunes Store in Singapore alongside with Hong Kong, Taiwan, Brunei, Cambodia, Laos, Macau, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, Sri Lanka and Vietnam. iTunes Match will be available as well for S$31.98 per year! The iTunes store is live on my Mac, but it seems it has not yet been made available on my iTunes app on my iPhone.
Music pricing starts from S$1.28 for a single track and typical price for an album is S$9.98.
Finally! Prices in both the iOS App Store and Mac App Store in Singapore are now displayed in Singapore Dollars (S$ or S$) instead of United Stats Dollars (US$). This means that the price of an app will not fluctuate because of the horrible currency exchange rate between Singapore and United States given by banks.
Last month, when I bought a US$0.99 app, my credit card bill will reflect S$1.30, but now the app just cost S$1.28. Apple uses very reasonable exchange rates, according to Google the exchange rate today (13:45 on Friday, 22nd June 2012) is:
Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (10.1) 3G
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (10.1) 3G will be available in Singapore from, 16th June 2012 for S$798 (without contract and including 7% GST).
Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (7.0) 3G
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (7.0) 3G will be available in Singapore from, 30th June 2012 for S$598 (without contract and including 7% GST).
HTC One S will be available in Singapore from this Saturday, 16th June 2012 for S$948. Only 1 color is available which is the Gradient Metal. When you buy the phone, it comes with a free Beats Solo Headset.
Specifications
Nokia 808 PureView is now available in Singapore at a RRP of S$839 (without contract and including 7% GST).
At launch time, both black and white will be available. No word on the red though.
In short, this will affect new and re-contracting customers from 1st July 2012. SingTel decreases data bundle from 12GB to 2GB (2GB is for Flexi Lite, which most of us are on) and increases SMS quota from 550 to 800! Looks like we need to SMS more instead of Whatsapp.
I am pretty disappointed with this announcement actually. Instead of fixing the problem, they chose to cap everybody. Instead of fixing the overloaded base station, they chose to spend S$12 million to buy hungrygowhere.
