Perks of being a Galaxy S2 owner

Samsung sure know how to promote their flagship smartphone. Until today, Galaxy S2 owners still can get free games from Samsung Apps, an Android Market equivalent offered by Samsung.


Last year, in accordance with WCG 2011, one Gameloft full game (Asphalt 6: Adrenaline) was provided free of charge to Galaxy S2 owners. Then, Samurai II: Vengeance was available for free as well. Unfortunately, both of them are not complimentary anymore. At the time of writing, Samsung Apps is charging RM 18 or S$ 5.35, but both games are available much cheaper in Android Market (refer to the picture above, price of the games are shown in USD, convert normally).

There are currently two not-to-be-missed, high quality 3D games that are available for free in Samsung Apps: Dead Space and Modern Combat 3: Fallen Nation. Be sure to check the compatibility with your device; for example, the MC3 promotion is only for Galaxy S2. Back to the games, I personally was astounded by the excellent graphics in Dead Space.

Another game that I found particularly fun to play is Paladog, which is still free in Samsung Apps at this moment. However, a notice in the game suggest that it might be charged soon. So, hurry up!


If you are into mobile apps, especially games, and wanted a best deal, always check Samsung Apps for discounted/free apps, such as the latest Samsung Apps Valentine's Day promotion.

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

I am not going to write much about this, this Apple event basically features a smaller variant of the iPad, iPad Mini. 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 .

Glitch at Microsoft Store Singapore: $5 Office 2013 Pro

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!
