Iphone 3G? I don't think so.
With the new Iphone 3g out, its now only available if you sign a new plan from singtel. I'm not sure if they even allow buying the handset itself without any contract.
With Iphone, Singtel actually came up with three new mobile plans.
CLICK ON THE IMAGE FOR CLEARER VIEW
8Gb iphone costs additionally S$348,S$49,free and 16Gb costs additionally S$508,S$208, free with Iflexi value, plus, premium respectively.
If you want to stay on your current voice plan, you cannot continue by changing to the Iflexi plans to get IPhone. To get IPhones, you either have to terminate your contract, which comes with a penalty of S$800 if the contractual period has not met, or you either sign another new number/line with the IFlexi plans and use it concurrently with the old voice plan.
Also, with your old voice plan, you may want to think of signing up mobile broadband bundled together to get IPhone 3g, but the phone itself will cost more.
S$568,S$728 for 8Gb and 16Gb respectively.
Yzuke thinks: I don't think it is worth it at all. Such an expensive phone, I think alternatively another phone like the HTC Touch series is worth more the money. IPhone 3G with 2mp camera only? Thats quite sad. But I do prefer its user interface a lot more than windows mobile. With spacious storage with 8Gb or 16Gb, there wouldn't be much problem storing your music and videos. Will do a review if I get to touch an Iphone.

Windows Mobile? BORING!
Microsoft's dominating computer Operating Systems. Next target, Mobile Devices.
"Not So Easy" says google as they now come up with something more interesting.
Introducing Android. Open Source Linux Operating system for Mobile Devices. Its an alternative to windows mobile, and open source! Free for developers. You can download the Software Development Kit(SDK) here.
Hey i've got a try out on my HTC Touch. Got it from some unknown guy while searching on the internet. Looks very user friendly, and simple. The user interface is still better than windows mobile 6, even though its still in development.
Future is with Linux. GO LINUX!

Google Chrome
So whats all the hype about the new browser called google chrome? To you guys out there check it out at http://www.google.com/chrome. I was amazed by the speedy download,the installer is only 474 kb. Frankly i was not impressed by it at first, the icon for the program looks weird and childish. Look at the icon in the yellow box. It look just like a pokeball from pokemon dosent it?
To be honest the design of the browser is still aceptable(acept from the icon). Chrome is a different kind of browser that you can find out there. It is simple, clean and easy to use. Without all the extra cluttered widgets or skins. The speed, I can assure you is faster than firefox and internet explorer. However i miss the familiar layout of my firefox with its skin, date temperature widgets. Nevertheless google chrome is good for those who want speed and power and does not mind a minimal design.

Trend Micro
Maximum security. Online freedom.
Trend Micro's products are split into a few categories:
I am a satisfied user of Trend Micro PC-cillin Internet Security 2007, and i find it easy to use.
Above is a screenshot of the main page of the Anti-Virus (AV).
As you can see from the screenshot, it has a very clear interface and is very user friendly.
It consists of 6 main tabs on the left side of the main page:
The latest Trend Micro product can be found on their website http://apac.trendmicro.com/ (Asia-Pacific) or http://us.trendmicro.com/ (US).
Their newest product have a similar interface as PC-cillin Internet Security 2007.
Key Features of Trend Micro Internet Security 2008:
I like Trend Micro's Real-Time Protection that it gives the computer the needed security when opening files and when the programs start running.
It also warns you when some programs are trying to change your computer/internet settings, giving you the rights over the programs to choose whether u want to allow the changes in the settings, when some of the programs might be malicious.
However, there isn't much options for the scanning part of Trend Micro, unlike other products like Adaware, which have "Smart Scan" that saves much of my time.
Trend Micro's scanning takes quite some time, and therefore, it is recommended to scan only when you have the time.
Trend Micro is not well known for scanning properties and it is listed at the bottom of the top AVs around for scanning as it had missed some viruses during comparison.
