Ok,, I’m an apple fanboy, even if the only Apple products I own is a MacBook Pro and an iPhone 3GS, the only reason by my main Desktop is not a mac, well it’s cause the PC still is king for games. I found this link on Gizmodo that’s hilarious. It’s funny reading quotes slamming the iPhone when it was first announced 2 years back.

The iPhone has been an amazing success over the pass few years. And thats what I like about Apple, it’s a company that designs and builds products ‘they’ would like to own, revolutionising the industry and media sphere as they release stuff.

I thought redman042 said it best in the comments.

I think the real point here is, even though these guys knew Apple was a threat to their space but wouldn’t admit it publicly (of course), none of them could have foreseen the barnstorming success that the iPhone is today. Apple didn’t just change the smartphone industry, it drastically changed 3rd party app development, the music and movie industries, and now, even before the iTablet is a confirmed reality, the magazine industry is bending over backwards and spending millions to be ready for an unconfirmed, potentially nonexistent product. In a nutshell, the entire media world is begging to be Steve Job’s bitch.

Now THAT’s what I call running a tech company.

It seems that the licensing issue Mediacorp had with streaming radio content online has been resolved. It’s great for listeners as you can now listen to your fave stations on the iPhone. I for one am happy as I do like to listen to the morning shows on my way to work in the morning.

All you will need to do is to download FStream for free on the App store

I got my 32GB iPhone 3GS (Black)!! It was kinda a last minute decision last Saturday night. Jas was teasing me and kept asking me if I was gonna get one. I was trying to keep away from temptation, but heck with it! So I got on the computer and did some quick research.

Via Jas’s Singtel plan, all we needed was to pay for the new phone via a recontract of her plan which came up to $508 + pay the up discounted upgrade fee of $300 as the plan was still in it’s first year after having bough the iPhone 3G last August. Thus, a total of $808 was to be paid. That’s a huge amount, and while Singtel was offering a trade-in amount of $400 for the iPhone 3G which meant paying $408 instead, that is still heaps to pay. So I quickly put up my iPhone 3G for sale one of the known local forums in SG. And 3 hours later, I sold the phone for $650! Woot! So off I went with Jas the next day to Singtel Comcentre and got the new 32GB iPhone 3GS for a sweet $158. Cheap cheap!

I’m loving the new phone and and already jailbreaked it. S really stands for speed. Apps load up much faster and surfing as well. It’s like going from a 386 to a 486. lol. The new camera is also a blast. The videos taken are pretty decent quality as well as some great macro shots. All in all, it’s worth the upgrade for me. But then again, I’m a bit of a tech geek.

And for those on Starhub that are wondering, you can use the directions as stated in my previous post to enable MMS & Tethering for your iPhone 3GS.
