I know, 24 months seems like a long time, but the upside is, Celcom has the widest 3G coverage in Malaysia and they continue to expand their network (I am a Telco Consultant by profession, I’m not spewing bulls here). They also won the best Telco provider for 2010.
I wished they released Galaxy Tab way earlier in April/May before I got my iPad. Now, after buying so many apps, I’m trapped. Selling my iPad would mean losing the paid apps. Urgghh.. tensi tensi.
ps: I’m writing Sponsored Post day in day out. I’m sorry. Orang kate, rezeki datang bergolek bile nak kahwin. #truestory
And so the battle of the tablet begins (not that it hasn’t started yet). Celcom will start launching their prized horse this weekend on Saturday 20th Aug and Sunday at Piazza, The Curve.
If you ask me, iPad or Galaxy tab? I’d go for tab, not because I’m being paid to write about it. It’s because you get much better flexibility on Android platform rather than on iOS which is kinda limited. Gaming wise, I’d say most developer are starting to port iOS to Android and vice-versa.
As for the battery life, both performs about the same. I had the Galaxy tab for about 2 weeks and I’ve only charged it 4 times I think. Which is about the same as my iPad.
Browser, now you can’t argue with me on this. Safari on iPad sucks and it doesn’t play flash. Which also means you can’t view other video sites other than Youtube. Some housing developers also uses Flash to portray their designs etc. I actually had to get up from the bed and key in the link on my desktop, which actually defeats the purpose of owning a tablet. So yes, Android wins.
ps: I’ve got the invitation, but I reckon I’m too busy to shuffle between hands.
Just a short review of Galaxy Tab and what I use it for.
My voice sounds soo awww, I think it’s the flu. LOL. Anyway, have a good one. Oh yeah, word of mouth is, Celcom is launching the Galaxy Tab 10.1 this weekend. What a great time especially when bonuses are being thrown around.
And so my parents left for umrah, leaving the rest of us behind. I hope they enjoyed their religious trip to the house of Arabs.
Now the real preparation begins. I need to clear my room, making way for the bride to move in. There’s always that discomfort feeling when throwing old stuff, it’s like breaking away from the fondest memories left behind. I guess its necessary to pave the future. Let’s just hope everything is fine and I don’t accidentally throw my brothers belonging.
With both my brothers (and their family) celebrating the festive Raya at their in-laws, looks I’ll be celebrating alone. Oh well, part of the gist of life.
ps: Writing review for Galaxy Tab 10.1 is pretty demanding.
For months I’ve been waiting for this to hit our shores, the wait is now over.
Few weeks back I was summoned by Samsung and Celcom to drop by at their office and to get a hold of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. Seriously, it’s drop dead gorgeous. It definitely beats the junk out of other android tablets.
If you’re looking forward for me to compare Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 against iPad2, I suggest you look elsewhere. The whole purpose of having a tablet is a substitute for mobile computing with some mobility. So between Android and iOS, it’s like saying “same shit different day”.
The unit handed to us was the 3G version. I didn’t check the space it had because I had no idea how to. The unit wasn’t meant to be brought home, at least not that day. (I actually have one in my hand right now )
Ok, maybe a little comparison, the right is a product of a fruit company and the left is the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. Beaten marginally by 1mm (at least to the naked eye). Very nice piece of engineering.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is well proportioned and uniform in size. Unlike some tablets, they kinda have nasty curves and doesn’t feel right. The screen ratio is 16:9 somewhat pleasing if you plan on using it as your entertainment hub.
There’s a few accessories lined up already for the tablet, a very optimistic and confident move.
Final words, Celcom will be bringing the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 to our shore. As for the launching date, I guess it’ll be shortly after Raya. I hope it doesn’t happen on the day I’m getting married. I’m not going to line up with tanjak on my head and keris in my waist.
ps: Macbook Air update, left palm feels a little numb due to heat. I guess it’s why I prefer desktop than laptops.
I have always wanted to learn how to sew or at least learn to make my own stuff. As you know, the accessories for Apple products are generally EXPENSIVE. A simple laptop sleeve costs about RM100, so I decided to make my [...]
My latest rambling about superbike was the ER6-N of ER6-F. Unfortunately, after hearing the 2 cylinder engine, I was no longer interested in the model. I mean no offense to present owner of ER6-N, but the sound is somewhat inferior [...]
Truthfully, I don’t really give a damn about NuffNang events because they usually involve clubs and alcohol. But lately they are being different, and they are starting to engage bloggers differently especially those who’s a little pious. The way I [...]
On Thursday I had the luxury of watching Green Lantern with my fiance. The commotion around was so immense, I find it hard to resist. Plus it’s Ryan Reynold, a legend in Van Wilder and Blade Trinity. And yes, this [...]
It’s touted as “Desire”, so let’s see how desirable can it be? Immediately in my hand, it feels heavy. Heavy is good, it’s solid! (About 200 gram.) Tweet
Before I start, I’d like to thank @Maxis for giving me the opportunity to review and Android phone, the HTC Desire Z, and special thanks goes to April Yim and Fiona for handing it to me. I’ve been toying with [...]
I was told by my cousin to enter the competition, depicting my cutest niece, Adriana Batrisyia. She thinks, Adriana Batrisyia has a fair chance to win, especially this picture. Being the ‘ohh-whatever-kinda-guy’ I duly submit to her request. There are [...]
For years I’ve been contemplating on a dSLR, I finally got one last Friday and it’s the Canon 60D. Before I jump to the next inline, let me reiterate my photography background. I had Pentax SLR back in the 90′s [...]
As a Telco Business Analyst, my daily task is to read up on telco bits and pieces all day. Anything new, I’d be the first to figure out. That also includes white papers, case studies, crunching numbers and finding ways [...]
Every time I look at you, I long for your touch. The sharp edges of your body, the fumes you left, the snaring sound, the breath-taking experience, the oh-so-good rush , you left quite an impression to this goatee-d boy. I think about you, I [...]
