I am in two minds if I should get myself a tablet or phablet. A phablet is too large to fit in my pocket, while a tablet would be even larger but at least there’s more screen real estate to do some proper productive work.

I only have the two Samsung Notes in mind; Note II and Note 10.1…. both are around the same price and fit my budget. But the question is, which one do I really need?

Of course, I would love to have both. Unfortunately, I cannot afford both. My friend said if I can’t afford both, I should get the phablet instead.

Me thinks I should get a 10.1. How?

Oh well, in the end, the decision falls on myself. Sigh!

Am thinking of buying a 10in tablet with keyboard dock as a replacement for the older desktop at home. That is used by my family and they are just content consumers, sometimes they do reply emails but not regularly.

HHmm the Asus EEE Transformer which I had waited for before it was released, is now selling cheap, because quite a few models have been launched since then, and the price dropped by 50%! Sigh… technology!

Am thinking if I should get it. My friend said no, and asked me to get a newer model. But then this is not for work, but more for browsing. Besides, even though its technology is older, it still suits the needs of my family.

Buy or not?

I met a guy in the street a couple of days ago, and he offered to sell me mobile phones. He had on him Samsung and Nokia phones of various models. Looking closely, these are not real branded phones but imitation.

I reset one “Samsung Galaxy Note II” and everything turned to Chinese. That told me the phones are from China. This doesn’t mean they are no good. In fact, they are very responsive and look like Note II, except they do not come with the S-Pen.

For the 1/6 price of a real Galaxy Note II, some people may succumb to the temptation, but I did not because I don’t need a new phone. I just want a tablet that could edit photos from my camera’s memory card.

The Apple iPhone 5 is finally in Malaysia, and it was launched just a couple of nights ago at Telco stores. Those come with contracts.

The iPhone 5 is also available online at Apple Stores Malaysia, just in time for Christmas.

And the prices? From RM2,199 for 16GB to RM2,799 for 64GB. When can we have cheaper iPhones??

The iPhone 5 come in two boring colours of black and white. Can we have pink and yellow? Need to buy cover for them. Sigh!

PC Fair is now being held in Kuala Lumpur. My friends who visited told me that iPad Mini is already on sale there. And their verdict? It’s nothing special and if you already have an iPad, there is no reason to get the iPad Mini, unless you want a smaller iPad.

LOL that’s the whole reason of Apple making iPad smaller, right? Because the original iPads were just too large.

Well, iPad Mini isn’t cheap too, despite its smaller size. A friend told me it’s around RM1500 for a 16GB WiFi only device, which is around the same price, or even more expensive than the new WiFi only iPad with the same capacity. Right?
