Bloomberg Chart of the Day: Nokia in the Dumps

by Ah Yen on June 24th, 2010 | Posted in Stuf | Tags: Apple, Bloomberg, Nokia, RIM

Things don’t look so good for Nokia, the former mobile phone giant as Bloomberg released this trend chart. The chart focuses on 3 major handset makers – Apple, Nokia and RIM – and reviews their performance from year 2000 till present. Nokia which previously was 14 times the size of Apple, has now shrunk to one eight of the size of Apple. Or is it that Apple has grown? Well it works both ways but the truth remains that Nokia has lost its touch with its consumers. Probably spending too much time trying to be a please-all?

HTC EVO 4G: Be Prepared for Headaches – Issues So Far

by Ah Yen on June 22nd, 2010 | Posted in Stuf | Tags: HTC, HTC EVO 4G, issues

Since its launch on the 4th of June, the HTC EVO 4G has been plagued by various issues. Talk about bad luck (or just bad engineering), the HTC EVO 4G first suffered supply shortage in the US due to the overwhelming demand. Next was a screen separation issue which consumers feared would affect its usability and reliability. Now people are talking about the screen sensitivity to grounding?! HTC, get your act together!! Lets hope they solve all this before the HTC EVO 4G starts shipping in Malaysia. Read more on the issues after the link.

by Ah Yen on June 21st, 2010 | Posted in Stuf | Tags: mtb

Conventional wisdom has it that most two-wheeled stunts are performed on thick, knobby wheels which gives you more grip and absorbs most of the impact. But that adage has come to an end as British trials legend Martyn Ashton does it all…on a carbon road bike. Once again, its the biker not the bike that matters. Video after the jump.

Now that the iPhone 4G is out and available in black AND white (too bad it didn’t come true for the white guy), HTC pulled the same trick with its HTC EVO 4G. HTC announced that the HTC EVO 4G White will be available at Best Buy on the 18th June as pre-orders and will be shipping officially on July 11th.

iPhone 4G in the White

by Ah Yen on June 7th, 2010 | Posted in Stuf | Tags: Apple, iPhone, iPhone 4G

Yeah some of them boys at BoyGeniusReport got a hold of the iPhone 4G in WHITE! Yeah thats right! It could be a fake one but the shape, logo locations and ports seems pretty consistent to me. The rumor is that this baby along with its yin-yang brother will be out in the USA on the June 18th which would translate to sometime in August or September for us in Malaysia. Now if Maxis, Digi or Celcom is smart enough, they would already have struck a deal with Apple to bring it in to Malaysia. The early bird always gets the biggest fattest worm. See the full size pic and comparison with black iPhone 4G after the link.
