Samsung YP-T9: There's purple, too
Edvarcl Heng | Oct 17, 2006
We know, we know. We were all gushing about the YP-T9's piano black surface before this. But purple? That's a right royal color and eminently suited for the aesthetic type who wants to veer away from cosmopolitan black. According to Samsung Singapore, the YP-T9 will be available in both black and purple editions when it arrives on the island's shores.

Gemei X-900: Going game on retro
Edvarcl Heng | Oct 16, 2006
Gaming emulators are fast becoming the norm in China. But to pack in three of the cult consoles of all time? Super Famicom, Nintendo Entertainment System and Sega Mega Drive? Unreal, says the top honchos of Super Mario Brothers 3. What's Halo compared to Contra? Street Fighter versus Dead or Alive? It's a no contest. Especially when modern day portable gaming devices have to jump through so many hoops just to break out one decent round of Sonic the Hedgehog (Think Sony PSP and homebrew).
Have a break. Play a game. Get a Gemei.

Creative zaps FM recording feature in the Vision:M
Edvarcl Heng | Oct 16, 2006
Creative apparently listens to its users. The new 1.50.02 firmware for the award-winning MP3 players adds new features like video zooming and added language support. But for what Creative giveth, it also taketh away. The new firmware will also strip away the FM recording function of the Zen Vision:M, much to the chagrin of users. According to readers in the forums, this is due to US licensing issues from the RIAA.
In a response to our email query, a spokesperson for Creative Asia, confirms the same firmware revision is applicable to both Asia and the US. However, at the current moment, units in Asia will still be using firmware version 1.41.01 till further notice.
Bottomline? If you want to keep your FM recording feature, don't patch.

FotoHub's new storybook
Damian Koh | Oct 16, 2006
Printing out photos and slotting them into photo albums is so passé, time-consuming and sometimes it just doesn't turn out right. So why bother, when you can leave it to the professionals? All you have to do is select the images and, of course, pay when you receive the goods.
FotoHub, with the support of Spring Singapore and Sun Microsystems, has embarked on a new business model that unites all its core functions under a single roof. One of the services it provides is FotoStory--a leather-bound customized photo album.
Under this new business model, all the images uploaded to the company's Web site can be sent to a regional processing center for printing or to the Singapore headquarters for additional services such as large-format printing or customizing photo albums.
All the user needs to do is upload the images, select a template from a list provided, lay out the pictures and send it for print. If you're too lazy to do all that, professionals at FotoHub will do it for you, for a fee, of course.
According to Eric Tan, CEO of the Consumer Division for FotoHub, it takes about two days from the time you click submit to the time you collect the album from any one of its five satellite kiosks in central Singapore.
So what are you lazy bums waiting for?
