UK to get HTC Hero by 21st July 2009, ahead of the rest of the world.
I have to admit that I love HTC Hero than Palm Pre, even though I wrote something about Pre here.
HTC Hero is just suit me more, you know, it's kind of "beauty in the eyes of beholder" type of cheeky feeling. :-o

See the pre-order page from Devicewire UK as below:
UPDATE: HTC Hero launch date was delayed on 24th July according to Amazon.

Palm Pre for the win!!
That’s just me, I think Palm Pre vs iPhone 3G or 3GS, Palm Pre will win (at least to me) for the following reason:
1. First and foremost, it MULTITASK!!
2. Qwerty Keyboard. (real thing always better than virtual)
3. It’s Palm! Nerd n Geek use Palm back in 90’s. I’ve been seeing lots lots of people using iPhone now. Yes, it’s hip, tons of apps, but hei, I own a iPod Touch, I download apps and delete them after 2-3 days, those are useless shit. The only app I use daily is cydia and Winterboard.
4. It use Konami Code to activate the Dev Mode, how cool is that! Way to go Contra!!!
5. It charge wirelessly by using induction technology. Say bye to white USB cable from Apple.
6. It’s a slider, remind me of those day when I fell in love with the Nokia
7. Lastly, WebOS is cool and iPhone’s OS X scores a draw for this. Come on Apple, you can do better than this!
Enough said, Palm please launch Palm Pre in Malaysia or Singapore already!!! I can’t wait.
Footnote: I still love Apple product, but I am very particular on “SmartPhone”.
Head over to Pre Central for their complete review on Palm Pre.
Palm Pre available June 6
Just got an email from Palm to inform the Palm Pre will be available in U.S. da A by June 6 @ US$199.99 (after rebate and service agreement). Head over to the link for more details!
Can't wait for it to be available in my country - Malaysia.

Golf GTI MK5 SE edition
It makes me thinking, why I bought this car…
maybe because I blogged this before? Or my special 70’s attachment to the Beetle and Camper Van? Whatever it is, this car is really like what the Golf GTI MK5’s TVC said “VW Dub, German Technology yooo!”
Had been driving this babe for almost a month now, it really satisfy me in all aspects, either in handling, power, build quality, etc. I have no complain about it, only some minor things that will over shadow by the good sides. (Grin) You may say it’s “fanboyism” (like what they say about Apple). But hei! Just google around and you will see numerous of satisfied MK5 owner on the web.
I will not going to the normal “review” for this car, I will only share some things that you won’t see from the product catalogue and other official sources.
Follow the jump to read more.
EXTERIOR
Firstly, let’s look at the exterior; it comes with the ABT full bodykit, quad exhaust and 18” tires:
Side Mirror Open
Side mirror closed…not much different, WTF!
INTERIOR
Passenger Airbag Switch and Glove Box Air-Con vent.
Drawer underneath passenger’s seat.
Can-opener also serves as cup holder’s divider (brilliant idea)!
LIGHT & SOUND
MFD Plus with CD track control and “coming home” & “leaving home” light functions in Convenient Menu. (only available in SE or Highline version)
Paddle Shift gear with red light indication, it’s awesome cool!
Map Light, Dimmer Light and Sunroof Control in Knob (in between dimmer lights)
Door Lock Switch
Power Windows Switch and Side Mirror Control and Heater.
Light Switchers
Stock RCD500 c/w 6 CD loading and read MP3 songs. MP3 Tag displayed on the HU’s screen.
GOOD: Power, Handling, Built Quality.
BAD: Poor Pre-Sales and After Sales Service (namely my experience with the distributor called VW Cars).
Overall, this is a fantastic car, it’s 4.5 out of 5 stars!

Gizmodo and Tokyo Mango Romance?
Maybe it's just me, I read Gizmodo and Tokyo Mango frequently. I spotted these two photos and immediately notice the similarity.
Then a quote from Lisa's post raised in my head:
...even my gadget-loving boyfriend thoroughly enjoyed. (He won't admit it now, but I overheard him telling my dog that he discovered a new movie that he really liked called Honey and Clover.)
It sounds so Blam hmmm. Well, you guys judge by yourself, some say "picture tells a thousand words". Cheers!
Microsoft introduced Windows 7 Features in All Things D (Verdict: Not impress at all...)
Yeah Yeah, Steve Ballmer and Bill Gates are bragging about these here and there. Check out the link by yourself, I am too lazy to talk about this one.... :p
BTW, one of my favourite comment: "iPod Touch in more expensive Laptop form..." LOL!! Yah Fanboy!Aptera - the comercialized electric / Hybrid concept car
I was wondering:"What is the fuss about this car?" The Aptera had gathered lots of news/blogs coverage recently when I stumbled upon on the net.
Dropped by the website and found this car is very commercialized and ready for booking! I ain't treehugger or green peace activist, looking at the spec and stats didn't really tell me anything.....(noob!). So I am still wondering:"WTF about this car!!??" I hope Jeremy Clarkson will sit in it in the new episode of TopGear and see what he will say. LOL! Crap.
