Samsung now completes the line up of their Android devices, from S2, Note, Tab 7, Tab 10.1 and now slotting between the two tablets is the Galaxy Tab 8.9
If you didn’t get what you wanted for xmas, perhaps it’s time to look at this!
This device is perfect for those who thinks the Tab 10.1 is a little too big, and the 7 just a tad too small. At 453 grams, it is also an ideal weight for some especially when you factor in using it as a reading device in bed. The 10.1 is a bit too heavy for me in this aspect.
Here’s the specification of the Galaxy Tab 8.9, and they are almost the same with the bigger brother, except for the screen size of course.
While the LCD is smaller, it spots the same 1280 x 800 resolution with the 10.1. Which means that it actually has a higher pixel density. In layman’s term, the screen is actually sharper to look at. Coupled with the fact that this device is slightly cheaper than the 10.1, I can see that a lot of people will favor the 8.9 unless you really do want to have the biggest out there.
Celcom brought in the Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 (Wifi + 3G version) to Malaysia and you can get it for as low as RM 1,288 (RRP RM 1,699) with Celcom Broadband packages. Check out the table below:

Tablets now it’s like those free t-shirts that only comes in one size. S, M, L, take your pick.
This is the progression of mobile devices in the our pockets (or handbag/man bag) over the one decade or so. The example isn’t far fetched at all especially if you are a gadget freak.
Just the other day when I went on facebook, the screen shot above was the status update from my little brother. He made the move and got himself a Samsung Galaxy Note.
Now it says “new phone”, this little device has a lot more to offer than just mobile phone functions, lets see some specs:
we checked out Samsung Galaxy Note at Sungei Wang
At first I thought the 5.3″ screen might make this phone a little too big for the pocket, so when my colleague Sheng and I saw the Samsung booth displaying the phone during one of our lunch breaks, we took a little test run on the device.
It actually fits into the shirt pocket.
The features are pretty neat too, I use an Android phone right now, but the Galaxy Note has the advantage of the screen and offers features not found in other devices. The calendar function itself already looked so much more gorgeous by taking advantage of the screen size.
The best part is, Samsung Galaxy Note is now available with the nation’s widest network coverage in Celcom from as low as RM 1,368. With an all-in-one gadget like that, you will surely want to take advantage of its online capability – viewing webpages in its full glory (not just limited to mobile versions), streaming videos, online games, etc.

Tempting, very tempting!
Nam Yu (red fermented tofu) is one of my favorite ingredients to marinate meat. I’ve used it for deep fried chicken wings and pork slices, and thought I’d give it a try in a recipe that has East meeting West - Nam Yu pork chop.
The idea is simple, using the Western cooking method utilizing griddle and oven, but marinate the pork with nam yu. The result turned out rather well, with the pork acquiring that sweet and salty flavor of nam yu, while not having to use oil (as with deep frying) and be able to retain much of the natural juice in the meat.
nam yu pork chop, a griddle is preferred
Ingredients:
Haze enjoying the nam yu pork chop, with some mushroom & lettuce
Cooking instructions:
The garlic and mushroom should be cooked in the oven with the fat coming off from the pork. The lettuce serves as a garnish as well as something refreshing between the bites. Give it a try!

Just a couple weeks ago it was the launch of Blackberry Bold 9900 here in Malaysia, and now Celcom brings in the Blackberry Torch 9860. For the fans of Blackberry who loves full touch screen, this is the phone to grab, and Celcom does have some really good deals.
First, lets look at the specification of this latest installment of Blackberry. While it is branded under Torch, do not be confused, the
Blackberry Torch 9860 comes with full touch screen and does not have a slide out QWERTY keyboard (that sometimes can be cumbersome to use). There are 4 physical buttons and a touch pad for quick navigation, but everything else is on the touch screen.
Check full specs here
Very impressive specifications in all. Blackberry has been criticized for not having low processing power, low memory/storage, and small/low resolution screen size. It seems like the Torch 9860 has finally put all these to rest, this model is right up there with all the other smart phones in terms of raw power.
Then there’s the new Blackberry 7 OS that has a much improved browser that supports HTML 5 video with seamless scrolling and zooming. Of course, the stronghold of BB – Blackberry Messaging, and the superior email integration are all there too.
Celcom Exec plans for Torch 9860
Celcom has come up with some very attractive packages for the Torch 9860. With Celcom Exec, you can get the device at as low as RM 1088.
And for those with Celcom Biz, check out the table below. Package 188 with 24 month contract lets you get the Torch 9860 for only RM 588. Now that’s a proper bundle.
As if these days are not already good, if you attend the launch event, there are even better deals you can grab:
