iPad & next iPhone 3G in Malaysia

On March 3, 2010, In Blog, By Philip Khor

This is purely speculative. I notice the Digi Marketing guys are testing out the price-points people are willing to pay for a mobile phone. The Blackberry with a plan looks attractive. I went to their exhibition in Mid Valley, and glanced through the spec sheet. Nothing to shout about. The 9700 pales compared to the Gigahertz Snapdragon Android Google phone. Then again, Blackberry is used by President Obama woh, sure must be super secure and super awesome, right? Well, I’ll let you be the judge of that.

Here are my predictions for the iPhone / iPad pricing come July 2010. I used this American article as a point of reference.

Price war between Digi and Maxis can only be good for consumers, right?

Digi and iPhone, coming July 2010!

On March 1, 2010, In Blog, By Philip Khor

It is official. It is coming!

via Twitter

w00ts. you asked for it & we listened. DiGi & iPhone = *sweet*. FMI @ www.digi.com.my/iphone 33 minutes ago via mobile web

My predictions:

1. July 2010 in line with new models scheduled. It would suck to sell what is left-over by Maxis right?

2. Plans will be much cheaper than currently. If I were to pinpoint a pricepoint, I’d say RM 999 device, RM 120 plan with unlimited data for 2 years. Just a guess-timate.

3. Digi 3G network will be seriously hammered. It also means iPad will come to Digi! So no more worries about the micro-SIM that the iPad uses for the 3G version. Hopefully more subsidised pricing lah.

4. Digi will pwn Maxis. Let’s see how in August 2010 whether their 3G network will still be as good as it is.

Overall, I’m excited, definitely. Best telco in Malaysia.

Two Hand Multitouch

On October 3, 2009, In Blog, By Philip Khor

You know the pinching, pinch out, rotate gestures on the iPhone / Touch … and the Macbook’s two finger swipe, three finger, and dare I say, FOUR finger gestures on the trackpad?

Well, Apple has patented TWO HANDS multitouch technology which describes an apparatus to do things in Sci-Fi movies.

two_handGotta love the Patent’s department drawings ;)

[source: Mac Rumors]

When software used to interprete the gestures have matured, be exited for the endless possibilities.

For one I can think of, you can actually use the Wii Remote as demonstrated [here - Youtube] to read what you’re gesturing on a wall.

On a related Apple note, the 8GB version has dropped to US$49 with a 2 year plan. Question is, why are we charged RM 2500 here in Malaysia when the American pricepoints are US 199/299 with contract and in UK, you get it free with 40 pounds plan?
