And so I’ve been using the Sony Tablet S for about two weeks now. A fortnight is a pretty decent amount of time to let the initial novelty of a product die down and let those small kinks or perks of a product bubble up to the top. Over the past two weeks I’ve come [...]
Last Thursday, Starbucks Coffee Singapore celebrated the official opening of its first destination store in Singapore. Located with a refurbished double-storey colonial heritage building in Rochester Park, the new store features a one-of-a-kind design concept which draws inspiration from its vintage colonial exterior, but with a contemporary edge. The store’s architecture and design also displays [...]
And so I’ve been using it for a week now. It’s been a constant companion as I make my rounds at events and when I shuttle between home and HackerspaceSG where I do my work from.
I think much of opinions around the device hasn’t changed. I have, however, discovered a few more things around the [...]

Firstly, after running a trial of a single season of Ask Jerrick, they confirmed that there will be a 2nd season of Ask Jerrick [...]

In total, I downloaded MoboPlayer, Foursquare, Facebook, Opera Mobile, Dropbox, Twitter, SBS Transit iris, Google+, Conqu and the Amazon Kindle app. I didn’t have to download any of the other Google [...]
Taking it out of the box, the first thing I can’t help noticing is how beautiful the design of the Sony Tablet S is. It’s slightly curved on one side which makes it lopsided but as soon as I lift it up and hold it in portrait mode, it’s clear that it’s not only an [...]
Ok so you’ve probably heard that DevCon Asia 2011 on the 7th and 8th December (originally to be held in Bangkok, Thailand) has been moved to Singapore. This means that all you Singaporean readers and BlackBerry enthusiasts don’t have a reason not to attend DevCon Asia!
Oh wait, did you just say the tickets are expensive?
Well, [...]

Nokia recently hosted a little preview of their upcoming phones – the Lumia 710 and Lumia 800. Both running Windows Phone 7, it was quite a refreshing experience to be using a Nokia on a totally new platform (which by itself provides a very unique experience).
Nokia Lumia 800
Available in 3 colours – Cyan, Magenta and [...]
