Galaxy Nexus coming soon to Malaysia & Singapore



At first glance, Galaxy Nexus has a lower spec compared to Galaxy SII, but a mobile phone is not just about the hardware, as Galaxy Nexus is the first phone to run Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich). This is a major selling point of the device, introducing a pure Google experience, no Sense, no Touchwiz, just vanilla Android. You can find the technical specifications here and a benchmark report here. Notable specifications includes NFC and a 4.65" HD screen (not Super AMOLED Plus though).

This device was first available in the UK on 17 November 2011. As of today (5 Jan 2012), Galaxy Nexus has not reach Malaysia & Singapore. The launch date for Malaysia rumoured to be 13 January 2012, just one week before the Chinese New Year. In the meantime, the major telcos in Malaysia tweeted the news about possible offering of Galaxy Nexus (DiGi, Celcom), with the exception of Maxis. The price plan from Celcom was even leaked. We could safely assume that the RRP for Galaxy Nexus is RM2099. Singapore wise, the expected date has been delayed to February with RRP S$948, which is about RM200 more.

Update: You can get it from DiGi online store now and it will be delivered on 13 Jan onwards. RRP is RM2099 and DiGi is offering the device for as low as RM1399 with contract.

Update2: If you want to get Galaxy Nexus without contract, you can get it now from Samsung Elite Partners. (SOURCE Samsung U-nivez)

Update3: Official plan from Celcom is available now, from as low as RM1348. (VIA Amanz)

Update4: Finally, Galaxy Nexus is available in Singapore starting 11 Feb 2012 with RRP S$948 (~RM 2290), without contract.

Foxit Reader vs. PDF-XChange Viewer

Last edited 2 Oct 2011.  Tried: Adobe Reader, Foxit Reader, PDF-XChange Viewer, SumatraPDF Portable. As mentioned in my previous post , I discovered some problems with Foxit Reader and PDF-XChange Viewer. More precisely, Foxit Reader had been criticized heavily because it forces installation of a browser toolbar . However, this was changed in the latest version. On the other hand, the rendering in PDF-XChange is not as good as I previously thought. In summary, you can look at the table below. For the installation part, both Foxit and XChange allow users to download the complete installers, but Adobe requires users to use a web installer. During installation of Foxit and XChange, you would need to select shell extensions and PDF display in browser for maximum functionality. As you can see from the table, the setup file of Adobe is huge compared to Foxit and XChange. Functionality wise, all three PDF readers support preview handler in Microsoft Outlook 2011 (you need to

They come with a form factor close to 7" (7.9" to be exact), which the late Steve Jobs once called them dead on arrival . Besides the iPad Mini ( comparison ), new revision of iMac (certainly thin, and with Fusion Drive), 13" MacBook Pro (no discrete graphics though), Mac Mini , iBooks , and even a "newer" iPad (4th generation, 3rd generation no longer available ) are announced together. Finally, for you who like to relive the event .

SOURCE: Hardware Zone Singapore At about 7pm today, a Hardware Zone Singapore forum poster named Bluefreak reported that Microsoft Office Professional 2013 is on sale at Singapore Microsoft Online Store for $5. Unfortunately, the relevant product page has been quickly taken down, suggesting that this is most likely a technical glitch. Nevertheless, some users manage to purchase and obtain the product keys, but it could only be activated when Office 2013 is officially released. Let us see whether Microsoft will honor the deal. This mishap also revealed the launch date, 31 May 2013. Thanks Terence and Edwin for the tip!
