The Google USB Type-C to USB Standard-A Plug Cable has been out of stock for quite some time. I managed to buy it when it just got back in stock on 9th November 2015. Because it doesn’t ship to Singapore directly, I have to ship it through a freight forwarder like HopShopGo.
The retail price is US$12.99 (S$19) excluding shipping fees from HopShopGo and comes in only one length which is 1m. It is a USB 2.0 cable and hence the data transfer speed will be capped at 480Mb/s.
The iOrange-E USB Type-C Cable is one of the recommended USB Type-A to USB Type-C cable by Benson Leung.
The cables are available in three colors (Gold, Silver, Black) and each of the colors are available in 3 lengths (0.5m, 2m or 3m). You can get all 9 variants from Amazon.
Just to recap on my previous post about Nexus 6P availability & price in Singapore, the Nexus 6P is brought in by Huawei through Convergent Systems.
Only the 64GB and 128GB model will be available in Singapore. And each of the model will be available in two colors, Graphite and Aluminium.
Two years after Heart Of The Swarm (Zerg) and five years after Wings Of Liberty (Terran), the StarCraft 2 trilogy will come to a close with Legacy of the Void (Protoss).
StarCraft 2 â Legacy of the Void was officially launched on 10th November 2015. I have collected both Heart Of The Swarm and Wings Of Liberty Collector’s Edition and of course I can’t miss out on this last one.
The Apple USB Type-C Cable is retailing for S$42 and comes in only one length which is 2m. I wish they have it in 0.5m and 1m as well.
There are no markings on the USB ends on the cable because there is no need to since it has a reversible plug orientation. This is similar to the Apple Lighting cable as there is no marking on the Lightning end of that cable as well.
Received a very nice gift from The Future of Us. It is the 3Doodler 2.0.
What is 3Doodler?
I finally received my Gunmetal Black Steel Band on Wednesday, 11th November 2015. It has been 3 months since I gotten my Pebble Time Steel.
The steel band is pretty heavy and well built.
The Apple iPad Pro which is a 12.9″ iPad is now available for pre-order in Singapore and 39 other countries. If you pre-order now, you will get it on this Friday, 13th November 2015.
Similar to the iPads, it comes in three colors, silver, gold and space grey. Only two storage capacities are available, 32GB and 128GB. For 32GB, only the Wi-Fi option is available.
The OnePlus Type-C Cable 150cm + OnePlus USB Type-C Adapter is retailing for S$23 on Lazada. It is sort of a promotion bundle. Delivery is an additional S$0.50.
The OnePlus Type-C Cable 150cm alone cost S$17 while the OnePlus USB Type-C Adapter cost S$14.
If you are thinking of getting a USB Type-C cable from Amazon, be sure to read Benson Leung’s review on Amazon first.
Benson works in Google and his team at Google has been very big proponents and innovators of USB Type-C. He has worked on two Pixel products that use the connector and its related technologies (Power Delivery, Alternate Mode, USB 3.1).
