Just the right thing for book lovers.

Introducing Amazon Kindle. This is what I mean by technology that will push human boundary and revolutionize the way we live forever. It's not so much about e-book technology but it's more about having content literally at your finger tips. Everyone knows the uptake of 3G is particularly slow in this country. It's particularly slow when connectivity or access technology is way more advanced than the provision of true and relevant content. It is after all, the latter that ultimately changes lives not just the technology and delivery method. What good are cars if there is nowhere to go to? What good are phones if there is no one to call to? What good is a stove if there is no food to cook with? Similarly, what good is 3G and connectivity when there is no content to improve the way we live? I'd definitely get an Amazon Kindle if not because the current access technology is only available in the US. At least, for now. Apparently, user will not need to keep up with the hassle of paying for the wireless service which means Amazon must have struck a deal with the network provider. I think we can see more and more mobile device manufacturers building in the cost of connectivity into their product and profit share with their network partner. This ultimately saves the hassle of end-consumer and everybody gains. Sweet.

Watch this video from cnet. I think this review appears to be less biased than the one you can view on the Amazon site. Although it may seemed like its god sent, the Kindle certainly has its flaws, which really, is no biggie in any first generation of electronic device.

Gollywog! It's a G-phone!

Says it all. JY suggested the killer duo (which I'm sure is also highly speculated by now) Google + iPhone. But it seems like it will be going beyond that. Any phone can be a Gphone which is basically (drumroll, get this) a user-generated phone. Already, in my previous study done, I found that Malaysians' new best friend is called Phone, Mobile Phone. Can't leave home without it. Or hang on, scratch home and I mean LIVE. Malaysians rely so much on their mobile phones, they won't be able to live without it at all. It's beyond the superficial of connecting you to another human, I'm talking beyond human connection! Your phone 'talks' to you when you're unhappy using music. 'Plays' with you when you're bored using games. 'Makes life easier' for you when booking cinema tickets. 'Get things done anywhere' through WIFI. 'Manages finance' through mobile money and banking. 'Keeps you entertained everywhere' through mobile TV. And here's something really grassroot: 'Helps you remember stuff' through its camera. How? Here's how.
