I am BACK!

Hi guys, I am back in business again. It's have been a extremely busy months and I am glad its OVER! Now that I have returned, I will start answering all the questions raised in my blogs. Sorry to those who asked but did not receive any reply from me. I am terribly sorry about that. Anyway, I have replied all the questions and to those who want to have any, feel free to ask. I will be turning on the notifications so I will be notified.

Ok. Moving on, my main focus will be on:

1. Reviews on Mobile & Tablets Accessories.
(Huh? Why not phones & tablets? There are millions of blogger on this and I don't think I am better than them. But I will shares articles and reviews I find worth reading with you all. And as for accessories, sure there are a lot of people reviewing as well, so why bother to do the same? Answer: I am doing not only on those Branded and Expensive accessories but also those that you can find around you at a "pasar malam price". Cool huh, how many blogger will spend time doing this? So if you are a manufacturer and you think you have accessories you want someone write a review, then feel free to email me at kokwoe@gmail.com. No charges at the moment but you need to at least send me a demo for review. Full details can be discussed through emails)

2. Sharing on Mobile Phones & Tablets News
(Links will also be provided in case readers want to have a first hand info from the site. My way of giving credit to the owner of the news)

3.  Sharing on How to / Guides
(if you have been reading my blogs, I did write up about how to differentiate AP and Original Phones, Buying Online / Setting up PPS for Apple on watching HK dramas. I will continue on this and even more interesting topics. But of course, you are free to write to me if you have a specific topic you are interested in. My email? kokwoe@gmail.com)

4. Updates on Local News - Telcos ( Digi, Maxis, Celcom, others ) / Promotions / Events

These are the 4 main topics I will be focusing on. If i suddenly Ki Siau ( Hokkien : Meaning : Go Crazy), I will write silly stuff or even topics which are out of my scope.

Updates - The New iPad 3 - Price updates

With the launching of the Fourth Generation iPad, the New iPad (or should I just say iPad 3 since its no longer the new one) was going to push aside.

Here some updates.

Apple Store Malaysia

The New iPad was taken down from the online store. Not sure if they are going to drop the price since the 4th Generation are coming, If they do, I am pretty sure the iPad 2 price is going down again.

Celcom

With the launching of the new Ipad 4, Celcom has dropped the price of the iPad 3. You can now get one from RM798, but of course there will be some terms and conditions.

Maxis

Again, Celcom was not alone. Apparently Maxis also drop the price of the iPad 3 at the same time. Now, with just RM999 and above, you can sign up for a iPad 3 on a 24-months contract.

So, are tempted to get one or you willing to wait for the new iPad 4? Or are you going to go for the iPad Mini? 

Let us know ya...

The SIGN……

Screen Shot from Apple Malaysia

iPhone 5… The latest craze in town. Everyone is crazy about it and some are willing to camp outside the store just to be the first to get it. In Malaysia, the cost price for an iPhone 5 16gb goes as high as RM3500 per unit! And surprisingly people are still willing to pay for it. (I guessed they are using it as an iPod since nano sim are not available in Malaysia yet)

I can't understand the rationale on paying so much to get a phone that are worth around RM2199 without contract. I mean, the launching in Malaysia is just around the corner. Probably just another day or two before Apple announce the availability in Malaysia. 

The SIGN is HERE! Apple going to launch iPhone 5 in Malaysia soon. 

SIGN 1

Quotes from Apple source

SIGN 2

Statement from Maxis on the availability of Nano Sim

SIGN 3

Screen Shot from Digi website on the availability of Nano Sim

The 3 Signs hints that iPhone 5 is ready for launch. The Date? I guess it's on the 29th September 2012. Just watch out for the updates in Apple.com/my that day. Instead of camping outside the store, all you need is to stay tune on my blog or alternatively, you can go to my Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/Connect2Usales. Will update once its out!

Cheers…

iPhone 4S - New Pricing

Try and guess what phone is this? It's the latest craze in town and a lot of people are willing to queue for it.

YES. You are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! It's an iPhone 5 and it just launched on the 12th September 2012 in the U.S. 

It comes with NEW FANTASTIC FEATURES and expected to reach MALAYSIA before CHRISTMAS.

Are you going to get one? 

NO? You don't think its tempting enough to convince you to buy one? Or you still prefer the iPhone 4S?

Ok. As usual, when APPLE launches a new model of iPhone, the previous model will have a drop in price. Today topic is on the new pricing of the iPhone 4S. It might not be the latest one but it does most of the things iPhone 5 expected to offer. You still get SIRI, IOS 6, 8mp Camera and many more. And most important, it COMES with A NEW PRICING!!!!

Here are the prices offered. You do the comparisons ya…

From Celcom Website 

From Maxis Website

From DIGI Website

And finally, from APPLE STORE MALAYSIA WEBSITE

So, that's the pricing for the top 3 telcos in Malaysia and Apple Store Malaysia. If you still prefer the iPhone 4S and want to get one, probably this will help. 

Enjoy… Cheers….

I am sure you guys noticed that our telcos are promoting the new Samsung Galaxy Tab 2. Feel like getting one? Before you head to the nearest telcos to sign up for one, probably you would like to spend some time understanding it features comparing to the old model.

WHAT's NEW?

• Size is bigger although the screen is still the same. (193.7 x 122.4 x 10.5 mm ST2 vs 190.1 x 120.5 x 12 mm ST1). Although it's slightly bigger, it's lighter from the previous model at only 344g compared to 380g for the previous model.
• Better Screen. The new one using a PLS LCD Capacitive touchscreen 16M colour with Multitouch.
• Boost up with 1GB RAM now
• Faster HSDPA Speed at 21mbps
• New OS - Android Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0
• New Processor - It Comes with Dual Core 1GHz processor

• Bluetooth still 3.0
• Same Camera resolution 3.15 MP, 2048x1536 pixels - Definitely not for serious camera user..
