Techgoondu has got a new home

We never thought we’d move out this fast, but better early than later.. and so, may we welcome you to Techgoondu.com

That’s the new site that we’ll be updating from now on, so please update your bookmarks and RSS feeds, as we won’t be updating you on the latest gizmos and stuff here.

Sorry for not running all these meta refresh stuff, or cross-linking domains… just figured it’s easier coz this site is rather young (less than a month old), and easier to migrate like that.

Thanks and remember – techgoondu.com is the new place.

Let the battles begin

One day (or rather hours) before the number port exercise kicks in, the battle begins at the PC Show, where SingTel and StarHub are readying $0 PDAs and extra $100 here and there to get switchers who have been waiting to choose a better deal elsewhere.

Besides big print ads in ST, StarHub has also come up with a website (www.choosefreedom.com.sg) which gives you a calculator to compare StarHub plans to any other M1 or SingTel plan directly. Talk about direct rivalry.

And in a nod to new media, the “green” folks have also set up a Facebook group for people who “choose freedom”…

Of course, we all know that’s all the freedom we get now – until we sell our souls for $300-$400 a phone with a two-year deal with one of these telcos!

In any case, if there’s any time to sell your soul for a cheap phone bargain, it is now, as the telcos fight it out for your signature. StarHub has a midnite gig going on tonight at Plaza Singapura (a gimmick unless you want another $100 discount for that phone), and you can expect fireworks at PC Show…

Let the bargains begin!

iPhone next-gen? You gotta be kidding

Sorry, stole that headline from elsewhere… but it’s exactly how i feel:

“Iphone is next gen? It has been around and remain pretty much unchanged for very long! And 3G? I ask you, how many of you are using non-3G phone? Even my M600i that is no longer in production (a very very very old phone) is 3G enabled. Apple is slow in putting out a 3G Iphone. The newspaper should be have the headline, “Apple releases 3G Iphone… finally!”
