Finally, CSL Spice Mi300 Specs Revealed in CSL Website

spice csl Finally, CSL Spice Mi300 Specs Revealed in CSL Website

Mi300, Android phone unveiled by Spice CSL 2 weeks ago is finally available on CSL website today (I always wondering why this happen in Malaysia, regardless the MNC or local company) The full spec is available there together with promotional flyer. I have copied the full specs below, but 1 feature that doesn’t state in the spec but available in the flyer is anti-theft security software from WaveSecure. The app is available from Android Market as well so if you use other Android phone, you can still using it as well. It is priced at RM1099, definitely the cheapest Android phone in Malaysia market now.

Although it is cheap, but do note that it still running on Android 1.6, although CSL promised that it will get upgraded later. Cooked ROM? Sorry, but I’m quite skeptical if there is dev over there in XDA will port it to this phone. So if CSL doesn’t keep it word, be prepared to stay in Android 1.6 forever. It’s not bad idea anyway, but won’t you drooling of what newest Android version can do?

seagate freeagent goflex3tb lg Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Desk, Worldd First 3TB External Hard Drive

Terrabyte sized hard drive is now pretty common sight even for personal and home usage. The race, (if we can call it race as the pace the hard drive size increase is very significant), to produce the highest capacity continue with Seagate unveiling the first ever 3 TB external hard drive . Trust me, the rest of players will catching up pretty soon. But being the first is usually good in term of exposure to the media and blogsphere, zero rival and etc.

The external hard drive called Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Desk is Seagate latest bet in storage industry. It looks like, the size is the only thing that differentiate it from the rest. The USB 2.0 plug and play, automatic backup as well as transfer speed booster are just couple of common feature available on other external hard drive as well. If you think 3TB is too much, 1TB and 2TB size is available as well. The hard drive is compatible to both Windows 7 and Mac OS, so if you use both platform, you have no complaint about that.

Droid X Ad: I’m Free From Reception Issue

This is pretty funny. The thing about Droid ad is, they’re the kind of opportunist, especially when it comes to take the advantage of the weakness of it’s fiercest rival. Who else if it is not iPhone 4, which suffer from the reception issue if it is hold in certain ways.

So the ads should reflect what they’re best, and the carefully wording ads like this could make you chuckled “The kind that allows you to hold the phone any way you like and  use it just about everywhere to make crystal clear call” Ouch, that’s ‘hitting’ 2 birds in a stone,  iPhone 4 is one of them, and another one is AT&T; they doesn’t seems to be spared from this as well.

iPhone OS or iOS 4.0 which Apple promised to be released on 21-June is now available for download. If you live outside of the US, it may take sometime for update to appears on your iTunes as what I have experienced late last night when iTunes still detect that  iPhone OS 3.1.3 in my iPod Touch is still the most updated OS.  It appears only this morning the the OS4 is available and ready to be download.

If even until this moment you still don’t see iOS 4 update in iTunes, please verify that you’re running iTunes version 9.2 as only this version support iOS4.

For iPhone users that use unlocked or jailbreaked iPhone, always bear in mind it will wipe unlock and jailbreak software in iPhone, so be prepared with all necessary software.

As what have been mention on previous post as well as other tech blog, only iPod Touch 3rd and 2nd generation, iPhone 3G and iPhone 3Gs will receive an update to iOS 4.0,  but not every iOS 4.0 features will available in that devices. Except iPhone 3GS, couple  of killer features that confirmed are missing from the rest of devices are multitasking, home screen wallpaper, bluetooth keyboard support and screen lock.

With over 100 feature introduced in iOS 4.0, this numbers will grows as more older devices getting update and began using it.
