it’s all about the taxis, billboards, sidewalks, cinemas, zebra lines, lights, sounds, people, skyscrapers and shopping malls.

Say hello to the iPhone

Rumors has it that an iPod phone is coming, probably in late summer. It was later confirmed by iTech News that this iPhone has been pointed out to Apple.com, well of course they still won’t spill the beans.

Meanwhile, Morgan Stanley says iPhone is for real, made in Taiwan.

Johnny Chan, a Morgan Stanley analyst based out of Hong Kong, says that Apple’s iPhone may be manufactured by Hon Hai Precision, an electronics manufacturer from Taiwan. Other analysts have suggested that Apple may turn to Green Point, also of Taiwan.

I, personally can’t wait. So I’d bet a large amount of money for a pretty phone device and if it’s out soon in my nearest mobile shop, probably means that I would dump my N70 Nokia phone. Can this be another super-hype for a PowerPhone like the success of the iPods? Rest assured, Apple will make it.

    Isn’t it a super exciting idea when an Apple involved in mobile phones? I just wish it’s also equipped with a bluetooth like Nokia does. Hahaha, Go tell him!

    K, if there’s one thing for me to envy you… that is over your mobile phones!! I mean like hell, you keep changing to the latest phones and I’m stuck with my bloody old phone?!! WHY, WHY OH WHY GOD?!!!

    Hehe, pun intended.

    K, hope you have a blasting weekend.

    Asha, I don’t actually collect them, when there’s new gadget coming - I make a deal converting (like trade-in) to a currently kick-ass phone, sometimes on top of that I have to pay extra depending on how much the costs.

    Do you think that’s a bummer? Hahaha I’ll starve my ass first just to get this cool stuff. Will tell you later when I get it.

    I’m baaack!

    K, I don’t even know the model of my nokia phone (which is so outdated).
    If you are getting this phone, give us a complete review after, ok?!

  6. Wavatar K on 24.03.2006 at 17:30 Post reply

    Duke! GOOD TO SEE YOU! How was your hoooooliday? Bronzing skin maybe?

    Yeah, I’ve been thinking, how many quality ringtones can they store in a phone? Maybe a talking alarm clock? HK is going crazy over this am sure. Well as long as your phone rings, then it’s ok.

    i hope it’s small enough to fit into a clutch bag together with a compact mirror, a chapstick, a compact blush and my wallet. hmmm. like i’d be able to affort it even! BAH!

    Those look cool. Maybe I’ll consider shelling out some cash for them! :-D
    Didnt Motorola and Apple had an iPod-phone?(and that was bad)

  10. Wavatar K on 24.03.2006 at 21:00 Post reply

    Yup it’s the Motorola E790 series with iTunes mobile software. It also has a built in camera but never seen one like that over here, maybe I’m not just a fan of Moto.

    Once the iPhone comes, how nice it is to show off your mobile with an Apple logo? Neato isn’t it?

    BTW, thanks for the visit sukhi.

  12. Wavatar K on 25.03.2006 at 00:47 Post reply

    Yuri… say WHATTTTTTTTT? hahaha, let’s talk about it. ;)
    Just don’t ask me about those stewardess at PAL. Whenever I travel from HKG-MNL, I just thought that they were the same person who harrass people with a sharp cutter at NAIA’s custom area. I totally hate those officers up until now. I mean, should PAL need a fresher looking CREW? If you travel Phil Domestic flights via Asian Spirit and the like, there are better looking girls wearing khaki’s like they are on an African Tour.

    Believe it or not, I once entered to an open interview at United Airlines for HK base, I passed the test but declined the offer of going on a training in Chicago for 6months to get the pass or something, if you did, you get the job. I was hesitant that time since I already had my permanent job. My friend went for the 1st batch and said it was really difficult, she returned to HK after a month airie test.

    I know what you mean… You Love Sunny Day.

  13. Wavatar yuri on 25.03.2006 at 01:02 Post reply

    naughty boy… (i didn’t actually get it) hahaha.. i came from airphil before i joined QR. im one those in khaki shorts b4. hahahaha.. ikaw talaga bad ka. ;) would love to have an hk res visa but i heard it’s quite difficult to get one. any pointers? not that i wanna work in hk but because of the airline bases. also i can go to mnl for just an1hr and ahalf unlike hre 10 hrs mamu. too much!

  14. Wavatar K on 25.03.2006 at 01:26 Post reply

    whoops, excuse the “khakis”.

    On your visa, I think it would be best that the company you’re working applies for it. I am not sure how but a friend of mine who worked for Citibank in Manila was offered to get the job at the Bank of America with a lower position then both made all the necessary arrangements with the HK Immigration to grant her a working visa.

    I think this is what the requirements:

    A person not of Chinese nationality who has entered Hong Kong with a valid travel document, has ordinarily resided in Hong Kong for a continuous period of not less than seven years and has taken Hong Kong as his place of permanent residence before or after the establishment of the HKSAR.

    Shucks, and here I am still struggling over the decision to get a Nano.

    IBtw, have the complete ‘Journey’ song. Can send it over to you if you want. Just let me know.

  16. Wavatar K on 25.03.2006 at 09:00 Post reply

    Pari wait for this iPhone, am sure you’ll love it. That is, if you are really into gadgets.

    I have already downloaded the ‘Journey’ song, thank you, so kind of you. ;) I’ve listened to some of her songs, great tracks she got!

  17. Wavatar sha on 25.03.2006 at 09:13 Post reply

    cool thing is i love new gadgets except cell phones
    dunno why

  18. Wavatar K on 26.03.2006 at 00:43 Post reply

    Sha, hehehe don’t know either. I think it’s where we live, this city is so influential - almost everyone here can’t live without a cellphone. And young people themselves tell each other how much they love buying new ones. Consider myself one of them - technology has become so important that’s why I’m always getting into debts. hahaha.

    It’s also like everyone have become so slave with the fashion too.

  19. Wavatar sukhi on 26.03.2006 at 03:26 Post reply

    you’re welcome.

    just talked to a pal @ Moto, and he informed me that it was just the iTunes integrated nothing else.
    Me not a big fan of Moto either.

    huge fan of SE -and esply the Walkman series. But even that would pale in comparison to the iPhone, I suppose

  20. Wavatar K on 26.03.2006 at 05:30 Post reply

    Hi sukhi. I’m sure the iPhone will make it huge like the rest of their products. Usability, functionallity, and style are what Apple does best.

    Check it here. Neato.

    Thank goodness (for my budget) that my cell provider never picks up the latest technology!

  22. Wavatar K on 26.03.2006 at 19:31 Post reply

    E, hehehe what’s more in todays technology? It’s growing and going. Life is getting crazy!

    Thanks for clicking.

    whoops…sorry K..i think i just ruined the table.. :p well it looks like that from safari…not sure from the other browser. :D

  25. Wavatar K on 27.03.2006 at 00:43 Post reply

    Hahaha EAR - I could almost hear you screaming for excitement. I had to fix the prolonged laugh of yours to fit into the table. Silly you. ;)
    I think issues have been circulating over a year ago, I just din’t really knew it’s going to be out in the market. Since iTunes is getting much hyped with Moto device, with this iPhone, Apple will have to do something radically different.

    How much do you think does it cost?

  26. Wavatar Lazy Drive on 28.03.2006 at 21:39

    iPhone anyone?

    K posts on the upcoming iPhone. Head over there for a glimpse of the phones (they're positively drool-worthy!) 

  27. Wavatar earadriede on 29.03.2006 at 02:17 Post reply

    you got me there. hm… maybe it’s the same with the microsoft phone one??

  28. Wavatar K on 29.03.2006 at 02:44 Post reply

    EAR, I think the iPhone is confirmed.

    Read over here.

  29. [...] So the rumor is true, the iPhone, which is expected to come out in June 2007 in USA, Europe in the fourth quarter and Asia in 2008 has finally arrived. Too often, I always get excited when there’s a new gadget coming in the market, especially cellphones. [...]
