Android 2.2 Samsung Galaxy Tab

With the recent "battle" of Android and iPhone, many have agree that Android has beat iPhone in many ways. My choice always be Android, personally but if I could afford it, I love to have all three, Android phone, iPhone and Blackberry but yeah there will always have to be a number one choice :p

Anyway, Apple has introduce its iPad a while ago and again Android has set to top that with the their latest alike-gadgets running on Android. If you asked me between iPad and Android "pad" I choose Android "pad". Why? As I mention before my choice will always be Android. Not that I'm a hardcore fan but it's my personal preferences. I'm an avid fan of something that can make gadgets interesting and enjoyable. If iPads can top Android "pad" I will choose them as well but it might goes a long way for Apple to do that simply because of their price and not as "open" as Android. What I mean is that iOS is just for Apple's while Android is an open software platform that can be run on many devices' brands leaving us with many choices :)

Ok, enough for that, yes the Android based tablet. Is it a good thing? Of course it is. The line of this "pad" gadgets for Android has already started with the official introduce of Samsung's Galaxy Tab. Although I've yet to get my hands on that Tab but I can feel it's good gadget. Some of it's main features highlighted are:


1. Running on Android 2.2 (Froyo) we all already know this :p
2. 7 inch WSVGA (1024x600) 169 ppi TFT display.
3. 1.0GHz Processor with PowerVR SGX450
4. Batery - 4000mAh (Samsung claim it can run 7 hours of movie play)
5. 3.0 MP AF camera with LED flash at the back and 1.3 MP camera on the front for video chatting and etc.
6. Full HD (1080p) video player and recorder (720x480 @ 30fps)
7. Support MP3, AAC, OGG, WMA, AMR NB/WB, FLAC, WAV, AC3, MIDI and many more music file format for music player.
8. Memory: 16GB/32GB+Micro SD slot up to 32GB
9. Multi-touch zoom
10. Gyro sensor
and like other Android devices, it support apps download from Android Market. This Galaxy Tab is smaller than iPad and claim to be lighter (380 grams). With this device, Samsung also announce a new service called Media Hub, an iTunes like service which allows Samsung's portable devices user to buy and rent movies and TV shows. Another killer made for iTune? :p This Media Hub will set Samsung Android devices apart from others for sure.

So being gadget lover, I love to get my hands on this thing when it's available in Malaysia. I might end up not buying it because I still prefer netbook with windows and simply because I might can't afford it :p but if the price is a good deal would I buy one? Why not, if it fits my budget hehehe So the most important buying factor here is still the price :) Hope it come with an affordable price tag *crossing fingers*

Ok then, I think I better not let myself drool to much on this Galaxy Tab for now and keep the finger crossing hoping that it will come with a very affordable price :p





p/s: They really want to "kill" iPad, notice the color of that Galaxy Tab? Black front, white back, same as iPad no? :p

A Living Legend?

Yes he is a living legend, he's one of the most respected guitarist in the world and he's one of my all time favorite guitar player. Although I can't play like him but I like the way he pull every riff he played. Not that I want to play like him (because I know I can't) but I really love every music he played. Ever since the Guns N Roses era, every songs with his riff has always been something that worth to listen to. Familiar with songs like Sweetchild of mine and Don't cry? yes it's Slash, one of the Guitar's living legend. Too bad I didn't go to his concert in Malaysia last few months but anyway I'm sure many guitar players out there who like his music wants to play like him so bad :) I've tried but I still not there yet (maybe I'm not a talented person). So just for something other than Guns N Roses songs here's a theme song in video game called Godfather solo played by Slash... Enjoy... 



p/s: why I wrote this post? well just for entertainment :p

Sarawak Bloggers Street Photography

Street photography is all about freezing the moments of all things in the streets and freezing action is guided by the randomness. Well, at least that's what I think hehehe. Last Sunday (August 29, 2010) 11 members of Sarawak Bloggers have gone out for an outing or a mini street photography meet up. The whole idea is to exposed the present members to street photography and sharing knowledge about it. The sharing was done by Robin, (thanks man!) a big street photography enthusiast. Personally, Robin is very good in this field and I'm glad that I meet him (if you don't believe me try visit his blog, you'll be amazed :p ). 

Anyway I learned a lot of things during that session and what Robin share has really make me want to do more street photographing. Honestly, that was the first time ever I done street photography, I mean pointing my lens at random peoples and things. Before, I'm not so into street photography as I was afraid of getting the people mad and disturbing people's privacy and everything else. How could it not, imagine you're walking or in the midst of browsing through the items for sell at the street and suddenly someone you didn't know pointing the camera at you trying to take your photo. What would you feel? Awkward? Irritated? worry? pissed off? This is one thing in photography world which is so challenging I must say.

Doing street photography will surely get you into some troubles, like being scolded by people who mad at you taking their photo out of the blue and people will give you the WTF kind of look. But on top of that all, it is fun because you shoot something that is really random. Ok enough for the ranting, I can go all the way far doing that hehehe, now here are the photos I took (not as good as others' I think).

















Sarawak Bloggers shutterbugs who turned up were Robin, Cyril, Fahriee, Angel, Yong Lim, Mike, Norman, Lance, Eve and Ivan. It's great hanging out with you all and nice knowing those whom I meet the first time, you guys rockzz :p




All in all it was a fun events, hope it will be organized again next time and hoping that many more Sarawak Bloggers member turn up, it will surely be more blast!! See ya...
