iPhone 3GS Compass

July 15th, 2009  |  Published in Blog

The Nokias 5800 Express Music was the first popular phone with a Digital Compass (Magnetometer) built in. Basically, on that phone, its sole function is to assist the GPS to know which direction you are heading.

Apple developers went one step further.

This is the map overlay feature, combining camera, GPS and the compass. The App will be available for US$1.80 and one day it will eventually come to Malaysia.

Hmm, anybody have Rm 2000 for an iPhone 3GS from Maxsucks?

iPhone 3GS JUST ANNOUNCED – available 19 June

June 9th, 2009  |  Published in Blog

The rumors were right, Apple just released the Apple iPhone GOOD SHIT (S for speed, according to them). From apple.com/iphone =)
iPhone 3GS

1. No front facing video camera – awww…

2. Outside THE SAME, but inside, is a beast. 2-4 x speed increase. HSPDA 7.2mbit!!! The emphasis on this new product is POWER!!!!

3. A 3MP AUTO focus camera and VIDEO recording. Hell yea!

From MacrumorsLIVE:

Also features tap-to-focus. Tap on the part of the photo you want to focus, and it automatically does so. Automatically handles exposure and white balance. Better low-light sensitivity as well. Also, auto-macro — as close as 10cm away.

11:55 am Also — a digital compass.
11:55 am You can also ask “what’s playing now?” and it will tell you. Or say “play more songs like this” and a genius playlist will be built.
11:54 am With the iPhone 3GS, you hold down the home button for a second and a voice control interface is brought up. Simply say things like “Call Scott Forstall” — if there are more than one entries, it will ask which one you wanted (i.e. home, office, etc) — or “play The Killers”

I CAN”T WAIT FOR THE MAGNETOMETER. And its applications!

Improved battery life. Now up to 9 hours of internet surfing, 10 hours of video, 30 hours of audio, 12 hours of 2g talk-time, 5 hours of 3g talk-time.

My rantings and musings weren’t so baseless after all. It really brings about better Battery , which is super important. Now the price!  $199 for 16GB, $299 for 32GB. Comes in Black and White.

WOW>> Old models

Apple wants the iPhone to be more affordable. The existing 8GB iPhone 3G will remain — for $99. The iPhone 3GS will be available on June 19th.

Ok, time to PRE-Order people!
