Nokia 603 – Another Symbian Belle Phone

Nokia 603 – Another Symbian Belle Phone – I kept thinking that Nokia will not make another Symbian phone because Nokia announced that they will migrate their platform from Symbian to Windows Phone. However, Nokia has just released another Symbian Belle phone, named the Nokia 603. This added another device into the Symbian Belle family of Nokia 600, Nokia 700 and Nokia 701.

Physically, the design of the phone improved and appears to be sleeker than the other 3 model. The phone is powered by 1GHz processor, as well as supports the NFC feature.

It has a 3.5inch ClearBlack display which increase visibility under bright sunlight. On the back, it features a 5 megapixel camera which can shoot 720p video at 30fps.

TM Streamyx Slowdown Due To Faulty AAG Link

TM Streamyx Slowdown Due To Faulty AAG Link – A little update to you guys who are using Streamyx and wondering why downloads from most of the US server appears to be slower than usual is that the AAG (Asia-America Gateway) link is down again. You are probably experiencing speed like being throttled.

I use the Streamyx 1Mbps plan and suspected something wrong with the speed. The speed was normally 110-160kbps download, but was slowed until 20-40kbps which was really bad. After some Googling online, it’s actually the cable fault on the AAG link.

What pissed me off is that the restoration will be done by 29 October! Come on, it’s 16 October today and there’s like more than 10 days to go. I am wondering how can I complete my downloads! A big company, but take such a long time to restore, and there’s no backup link. You know, this is not the first time that the AAG is having a problem, there’s few same thing before.

PPS.tv Now Available On Mac

#1: PPS.tv’s download page.

PPS.tv Now Available On Mac – After the long wait, PPS.tv, the famous Chinese movie streaming software is now available on the Apple’s Macintosh OS. The software is a P2P movie streaming software which features lots of Asian and International’s movies and drama which can be watched on-demand.

#2: Screenshot of the application.

It’d been a heat on the Windows. Previously, I watched PPS through Parallel Windows on my Mac but now I have no reason to boot Windows on my Mac to watch it. The whole experience is just the same as the one on Windows if you have used it before. If you haven’t, you should try it out if you can read Chinese.

#3: Icon on the dock.

#4: Installation is simple as ABC.

Setup is pretty easy, just drag and drop into the Application folder from the *.dmg package. You need not to set anything to display Chinese font and no add-on software, it’s so much easier than on the Windows.

Enjoy your PPS on Mac now, head over here to download now.

No iPhone 5, It’s Apple iPhone 4S

“It’s the most amazing iPhone yet.”

No iPhone 5, It’s Apple iPhone 4S – Apple 4th October 2011 “Let’s Talk iPhone” event is now over and disappointingly there’s no iPhone 5 announced, it’s just a change of hardware in the current Apple iPhone 4 and they called it the iPhone 4S, just like the iPhone 3gS update 2 years ago.

It’s 100% identical with the current iPhone 4, but in the inner part, the hardware is equip with the same processor that powers the Apple iPad 2 – Apple A5 Dual-core CPU, which enables 7x faster graphic performance, the camera is now upgraded to 8megapixel camera on par with other smartphone, sporting a new optics with backlight illuminating sensor which means capturing clearer picture in low light, f2.4 aperture lens. On the other hand, Apple has fixed the “antennagate” problem which the phone is also a “World Phone”, supporting both GSM and CDMA network. No 4G though.

Another thing is – Siri Assistant, a voice guide on the phone that talks to you is included, which is just another app to promote the iPhone 4S. No words mention that Siri Assistant will be available on other device besides the Apple iPhone 4S, it might be the premium app for the 4S.

So in short, it’s just better CPU, improved camera, “World Phone”, iOS5 equipped and no redesign. I was and believes many were hoping for a bigger screen iPhone, a redesigned, bigger battery capacity (though Apple claims iPhone 4S has better battery life with the same capacity), as well as NFC or 4G-equiped. Unfortunately, not.

No news about Malaysia’s availability and price. Our closest nation, Singapore will get it on 28th October 2011.
