Rumor: (ok, not so rumor) Yes Life by YTL will be released next weekend for iOS devices (iPod touch, iPad and works also on iPhone).
[sidenote: I gotta pat myself in the back for a well written true to today article: http://philipkhor.com/i-dream/2010/the-case-for-the-ipad/ ]
It allows you to hook your YES! ID to your mobile device and make calls and SMS using the Yes 4G network.
This is their current PC version.
So, what this means is that you can eliminate the traditional telcos (like Digi, Celcom and Maxis) altogether and forget about expensive calls + sms + internet plans.
With the value pack 68, you get 150 minutes, 150 sms and 3 GB of data.
I guess you’ll have to buy a Yes Huddle (the MiFi device) where you can connect 4 wifi devices together for it to work with the iPod touch and iPad. Hopefully it will be subsidised (eg. RM 400 up front, rebate in RM 400 credit). Looking for cheaper / more attractive data plans as well.
I’m paying a hefty RM 150 for 10 GB of uber fast internet connectivity (really love the upload speeds), but I’m sure Yes 4G has something up on their sleeves on this issue.
Oh, and one more thing.
Android 4G device, with up to 4-party FaceTime (video calling). Imagine the possibilities.

Here’s a clip from the text coverage of Apple’s Music Event:
11:15AM – Norah’s done, big applause. Steve’s on stage, applauding. “That’s what we have for you today, thanks for coming and we’ll see you soon!” Hint?
1. Mac geeks are an over-analytic bunch. What? a new iPod touch cam a week later just becuz it was the biggest disappointment today?
2. “see you soon”. If you’ve talked to me lately over the phone, I usually end my calls with “see you soon”. looks like Steve is stealing my line!
Argh~
Ok, hope dad is in a generous mood tomorrow. Mustn’t keep my hopes too high. [touch]

Both my final marketing subjects emphasize on predicting trends.
Its all about reacting to the situation, and adjusting your goals and objectives to these changes.
It also means a bit of guesswork, like.. England to win 3-1 early tomorrow morning.
But more importantly, we need to look out for Apple.com and your local Online store!!!!

The numbers speak for themselves.
For a product that receives a *bump* on average of half a year, you’d be a fool to buy a one year old product. It doesn’t really matter whether you get it on Day 1 or Day 364, you still pay the same freaking RM 1229 for the 16GB iPod Touch!
By 1 am (Malaysian time) the dust would have settled as to what new product Apple will be releasing. I would like to venture in to the RM 1229 price point cuz that’s the one I *hope* my dad will get me (for studies purposes)
- 32 GB Flash memory
- 3.2 MP autofocus camera with Video Recording
- GPS & Compass
That’s all I ask. But if they can make it last longer over a single power charge, the better. How about, 10 hours of WiFi surfing?
MMM… I love you Apple. I love you Steve Jobs!
Update: Steve Jobs ranked most valuable CEO!
