Finally updated my iphone 3G-S to iOS 4.0.
Seems not bad with the folders and multitasking feature which i have long enjoyed before it via jailbreak. Was multitasking enjoying the Tudors Finale…nice ending where King Henry saw all his past wives… hehe. And before i sleep, i would like to say this to my dear Lady Jane, thank you for being there for me all this while and I’ll always love and cherish you forever! Your lovingly humble and sometimes childish subject King Roy :D

Should be a surprise but… failed >.<

lunch….. tot wanna suddenly appear and surprised him tho i already told him i have things to do.. but he knew that i am coming.. lol

In the end, dear dear has to use his iPhone and help me search it haha. By the way, he already knew his friends are there >.<

Foursquare – The new location-based social networking

We used to have ICQ and mIRC for chats.. then now is MSN Live Messenger or AOL… for blogs.. we have myBlog, blogspot then became mySpace and Twitter.. and as for social networking would be like, we use to have Friendster then came Facebook.. Things are getting more and more interesting and it kinda scary as the world could actually spy or stalk on you!

I gonna intro one more social networking app that could be very very dangerous!

It actually tells people where you have been.. People could locate you and hunt you er… ahem… i mean track you down or trace back where you have been. So watch out and watch where you going :p

So whats the new app?

Its called Foursquare.

According to Wikipedia….

Foursquare is a web and mobile application that allows registered users to connect with friends and update their location. Points are awarded for “checking in” at venues. Users can choose to have their Twitter and/or their Facebook accounts updated when they check in. In version 1.3 of their iPhone application, Foursquare enabled push-notification of friend updates, which they call “Pings.” Users can also earn badges by checking in at locations with certain tags or for check-in frequency.[3] The company has stated that users will be able to add their own custom badges to the site in the future. If a user has checked-in to a venue more than anyone else, on separate days, and they have a profile photo, they will be crowned “Mayor” of that venue, until someone else earns the title by checking in more times than the previous mayor.[4] Users can create a “To Do” list for their private use and add “Tips” to venues that other users can read, which serve as suggestions for great things to do, see or eat at the location.

====================

 

So its time to get off your lazy ass and start walking around, explore and share what you find along the way. Great for people who has curiosity state of mind and love exploring around. Its life saving for people who have no clue on what to do for the day.
It helps when you have a device with mobile internet tho. Nevertheless you can use phone sms (for now only available in the US) to update your profile or what they called check-ins..
Try be a Mayor of the place and who knows you might be getting a treat somewhere nearby (if at Foursquare page indicated that if you become mayor of that particular place, just show your new Mayor status and you may get a free drinks or something else. I not sure how true is that but its stated at the Foursquare site tho. And of course the place you redeemed your ‘prize’ from also must participate with Foursquare).

Check out more from the site itself :D   http://foursquare.com/

Just love my iPod Touch every second. Thank you dear again *muacccks

iPad!!!!!!

iPad is more than a Pad that most people would know.. especially to the girls.. the word ‘Pad’ will have a new meaning from now on  XD

hehe well its the new tablet from Apple. Er, hang on… can you say its tablet where it cant multitask? :p

Guess its for those people who are blind by iPhones or iPod touch on how small the screen is for surfing the net or small messaging keyboard for their fat thumbs and fingers.

Steve says iPad is not a smart phone, not a computer, but a combination of each.. well.. thats some what truth.. But I think i can just shorten his description of iPad and let people fully understand what is it by saying, “iPad is just a freaking gigantic iPod Touch.”

After it was announced at Apple Event in San Francisco, you can see try search in Google for iPad. You will get a lot of results on:

10 Things Netbooks still do better than an iPad

8 Things that sucks about iPad

iPad vs Kindle

Maxipad…………………………………

So far, alot of people who comment iPad gave negative comments. Everyone says “No…noooo…. i not gonna spend $500 on this gigantic iPod Touch.. where it have the same similar problem as in the iPod Touch cant play flash or cant open emails windows while chatting on msn on another windows.” (cos its a iPod Touch in large shell only! duh~)

Why apple dont just make their Safari works with Adobe flash for once?! arrr!!

However, i believe those people who say a quick no now… might be actually be giving a second thought.. and might wanna get iPad. Maybe for the senior citizens?

iPad screen is in colour as compare to Kindle which is in monochrome. It can be download and use outside USA via iTunes/Apple App stores. Kindle only able to download the eBooks within US for now. iPad really helps in better messaging unless you have an elephant thumb. You can surf the web (non-flashy webby thats it) using your finger tips. Its faster (it better be much faster than iPhone 3Gs, 4Gsss……. 10G-assss…….)

Its coming in April. Its pricing in the United States will be $499 U.S. for the 16 GB version, $599 for the 32 GB and $699 for the 64 GB. The 3G iPad models will cost more — $629, $729 and $829, depending on the amount of memory.

For now,  I still prefer my pad size iPod Touch *winks

What say you?   =D
