ASUS has just announced that stafting on Saturday,  Sept 29, Google’s Nexus 7 tablet will be available in Singapore. Yey!

Samsung NX200 Focusing Problem

I reckon there are only few people owning Samsung NX200 since I can’t find other owners/users complaining about this camera. It’s either that or I’m the only one having focusing issue on the kit lens(18-55mm).

Ice Cream Sandwich for Samsung Galaxy S2, Finally!

After more than a month of missed schedule and Jelly Bean in the horizon, Samsung finally released their version of Android Ice Cream Sandwich to Galaxy S2 in Singapore. It is available via Samsung Kies. The versiom they released is based on ICS 4.0.3.

Android Ice Cream Sandwich on HP Touchpad

My brother sent me his TouchPad because it is already gathering dust on their home. He thought I might be interested and of course, I gladly accepted it. It’s still sporting webOS when I received it and judging from the several days I used it, I can understand why they no longer use this otherwise amazing tablet. There’s just too few apps available and the apps I’ve been accustomed to are missing.

Samsung NX200 Camera Singapore

I was on a hunt for a mirrorless camera lately and I was considering Panasonic GX1, Sony NEX-5N and NEX-C3. I initially took out Olympus PEN from the options as it doesn’t appeal to me despite its some advantages over the other models. And Samsung? It was never in the shortlist. It wasn’t even on my radar.

Totes Store in Singapore

A lot of people know that Totes umbrella is good and it appears that quite a number of people are searching the net to know where to buy one here in Singapore. That’s not really surprising because Totes Umbrellas are reliable and will not break in strong winds. That’s specially true if you buy their titanium series micro-automatic umbrella. The price may be a bit of a premium but if you consider similar umbrellas available here in Singapore, then you’ll understand why. Besides the price is only a bit higher. I found some automatic umbrellas in Robinson’s but they are mostly either auto-open or auto-close. There’s no auto-open/close. And even then, the price ranges from SGD35-SGD45.

Totes Umbrella Store in Singapore

I needed a replacement umbrella for my old Totes umbrella that did so well for so five years. It’s still working fine but I wanted a bigger one which can still auto-close and auto-open. I bought my first Totes umbrella in an outdoor shop in Taiwan so I thought it would also be available here in Singapore since I can see quite a number of outdoor shops here. It turns out that none of them carries Totes brand. They carry other brands but they just don’t cut the cake for me. In the end, I bought a new one from Amazon and have it shipped here in Singapore.

Boogie Board Tablet in Singapore – Review

I was at Mini Toons Action City store in Sengkang looking for gift ideas when I chance upon Boogie Board, a digital scratchpad. I got excited when I saw it and after a little waiting in the line, I was able to play with it. The tablet is amazingly thin and works as advertised. It’s beautiful and registers my every stroke instantly. And this device is too easy to use with only one button to operate which is the erase button.

EP121 Is Not Coming to Singapore

At least until this coming Comex 2011, we are not going to find ep121 on the shelves. That’s a sad truth as I waited for it to be available here in Singapore only to find out that it will never land here. I can’t blame ASUS. With the impending release of Windows 8 and the popularity of iPad2, it would be very hard to break open the market.

So now, I am evaluating my options. I have a few laptops on my mind and have actually briefly evaluated some of them. I’m not sure if ultrabook will be launched on Comex but if they do, I think that would be a hit.
