wireless access point

After I have finished my recce on every floor of IT show

I call Eric and he happen to be at IT show too
I went down 2 floor Starhub where he is on queue for his broadband
(too bad he can not wait any longer for Fibre broadband)
After half an hour with him
(he alread on queue for half an hour)
I being ask to search for UTP to wifi devices
or some vendor know as wireless access point
Eric got one at $60 but he sold it off at $50 as power adaptor too heavy
He need it when he go hotel offer freen room LAN connection
but he only got wifi devices with him
(same sceario that I always face too)

I found the Aztech 3G wireless N router interesting as
it meet all requirements even with support for 3G dongle like  a Mifi
But Eric want even smaller and ligter
So I find another products at the other end (will tell you later)
and the rest of TPlink, Belkin has those devices but too bulky and expensive
He took the brosure as by time I go down and queue up with him
It was pass 10pm when he done the payment

He also brought Dell Streak instead as
He just thrown back ipad today to apple after 3 days
as Apple got this 14 days return warranty services !!
(I was tempting to try one of these ipad or ipad2)
He complaint there are so many applications not able to run on ipad eg whatapps
He still saying ipad 3G can not use to 2G voice call...
So he get rid of it even though apple offer compensation as ipad 2 is out soon

Eric has a iphone 3GS and iphone 4 before
(We buy and sell iphone 4 recently until market now too low for profit)

We went for dinner and he was fasinate by Dell streak
almost that I can trick him to buy me steak ... ha ha

Instead we went for LaiLai beef noodle and it is very nice
as I miss the $1 burger King offer today

与谷歌Android接轨 日手机商要进军国际市场

我希望中国山寨手机也可以，趁机转型


以下是我看到的报道有感而发

与谷歌Android接轨 日手机商要进军国际市场


符祝慧
（符祝慧报道）去年全球销量超越苹果手机iPhone的Android开放式系统，备受日本手机厂商的青睐。夏普（Sharp），索尼，NEC以及京瓷（Kyocera）等都忙着与这一软件平台搭肩，准备乘其顺风车向国际市场迈进。
日本手机花样多，用途广，不但可作为信用卡使用，还可看电视，一些还装上了太阳能。但令人感到奇怪的是，日本手机这么多年来一直无法在国际上打响名堂。
专家指出，这主要是因为日本制造的手机软体平台繁重，网路服务不广，用户无法下载其他国家的方程式，结果阻碍了它们在国际市场的发展。
不过，如今有越来越多日本商家与Android接轨，这或许将成为日本手机厂家在国际上大展拳脚的一次机会。
Android的东家是著名网站谷歌。2005年买下当时默默无名的Android技术后，这几年已超越在市场上称霸10年的苹果iPhone。
谷歌的Android全球合作部门主管拉格林，对于同日本厂家的合作表示看好。他说：“日本拥有优秀的手机产品、良好的设计，以及优秀的工程师，现在，他们将有最好的软体！”
索尼推出的最新款高档手机Xeperia智慧型手机，已摈弃传统平台，改用Android。京瓷也发布，计划在不久的将来，在美国市场推出新款Android手机。NEC的手机产品也在加速转型，要进军中国等新兴市场。
夏普手机开发主管白石直木表示，日本的技术足以媲美欧美，搭配Android进驻国际市场更有看头。

tablet of 2011

not able to cut and paste the tablet table list
but hopefully someone will compile a list for Singapore market
for eg Notion Ink Adam is not found here

as my last favourite website come out with
http://www.techgoondu.com/2011/02/19/stars-of-2011-a-preview-of-this-years-phones-and-tablets/

My HTC Deisre lost

Just two months having a HTC desire on 6 Dec 2010
I lost my baby on 18 Feb 2011

There are two regrets
1. I did not continue to buy insurance on 18 Feb 2011
2. I should have brought HTC desire HD/Z on 6 Dec 2010

IF I have a HD/Z then I hopefully
can remotely
a. delete all my data
b. send msg to ask robber to bring back my hp
c. make the hp unusable

too bad it is gone by now

track of charging via battery pack

Today I try to track the charging of HTC via battery pack
and write this blog via hp too
Seem that both have failed

As supposed to write that the HTC drain off at 1pm and
register under battery widget about 10%
After put in battery pack and run overcharged
it registered at 2% with lowest 3189mv

The charinging stop at 3pm and I continue to charge via main.
The full charge is done at about 4:30pm

I shall do the experiment again

re-choose other smaller applications

Since yestersday, the notification give me the warning of low memory.

Today after do a complete full charge over the night
Again it take about 6 hours for the full charge with hp and [battery doctor] on

Another thing to notice blogspot is not able to read left arrow and right arrow <<>> so I have to use square bracklet [ ] to signify it is a application

I have removed Mobee Music plugin as run out of space
Mobee may be soon too as download of data is too slow

There are few applications that on list of removal
QQ too bad beta version still not able to move to SD
MeRadio (MediaCorp did not excellent further to move all app to SD. Wasted)
App organizer (I may have to give up this too as it take up phone space and
I dun use it often enough)
Aldiko (too be replaced soon if no other ebook to be downloaded soon)

There are few that being replace
ASTRO file manage by AndroidZip (good as it direct install in SD)
Daily Horoscope   by Horoscope (OK as horoscope only not zaiac etc but small)

Install Color Dictionary
Then download DictData Chinese Star
(After install data, it is move to SD and ask to uninstall)
Which is a Intelligent way of doing a application and data

The [App2SD] seem to exhausted all the application to be moved to SD
as itself are being moved

The [Memory booster] sometime has to call in to do a quick boost on ration
the free memory to occupied memory fr 49 to 51 %

By time I wake up in the evening, I even delete Mobee as can not install Mobee ebook plugin. Maybe wait till I got the Levono Lepad.

I got the record hightest 17.45 MB Free ! after clear the cache
Total remind as 150.75 MB

Yes, this number later can not even achievable after reboot.

So I may look into methods of reducing the memory.

Maybe I can dream of getting 16MB/32MB SD card after Google/HTC go for
Android 2.3/3.0 by end of this year and the industry help to move app to SD !!

This is my Chinese New Year wish !!

Then I went to WeiMing House and saw his Motorola brck
It run at Android 2.1 and it has 21MB

Later at night, I further delete MeRadio, Catch, App orgizer
and replace by other smaller application
At the end I achieve 23.99 MB !!

Request for move to SD card

I have sent out few recommendation and advice to many developers

Use up Too much memory and not able to move to SD card. Give up ! Although its a nice app. So let me know if it can be upgrade within 1Q 2011.

One of good example is 3D compass lite it is so good and can be move to SD

I final able to increase the SD app to 22

battery doctor

I still prefer [overcharged] ; software
which after load will show under status bar
Once in status bar, I load it manually and check the battery information
Today I start ay 1pm (to be precise it has run 11:55min at 1pm)
0% at 3429 mV (or lower value)
and then later
100% at 4187 (seem to be highest nowsaday)

At the same time, I got the [battery doctor] loaded to track 
the full charge cycle
Still it does not able to output and track the mV infor

MeanWhile, I loaded <> and able to load app to status bar
but read the review state it take up lot of memory

So far two disadvantages of HTC or android hp
Now I got battery pack to charge my hp while in emergency.
The second problems of low working memory is still unresolved

Last but not least, the other problem is lack of stock software
