Facebook for Silverlight – Sleek client for Windows/Mac but…

February 5th, 2010 by yuxiang

Duh, you can’t play your usual Facebook games from this application. but Here’s one good news about this app, it organizes your Facebook feeds, photos and friends in a whole new way. I just started using it right now and you should go ahead and download the beta and try. (The normal facebook interface looks quite boring anyway)

This is an application from Microsoft Silverlight. You’ll need Silverlight irregardless of which platform you are on. Windows 7 users may want to use Fishbowl instead.

Motorola-Singtel DEXT Android handset launch party roundup

January 21st, 2010 by yuxiang

Some of the photos taken. DEXT is the first Motorola Android phone where it started off in the states as Motorola Cliq. DEXT features the Motoblur interface which gathers all your social happenings in the home screen.

IMO, the interface is quite sleek but too bad it’s running Android 1.5 (I foresee they’ll upgrade to 2.1, or at least 2.0 in near future).

Otherwise, it has the common specifications but something worth the mention is, it got a 5 megapixel camera, where the usual Android handsets usually only have 3.2 megapixel.

It’s available from Singtel exclusively from this Saturday onwards.

You can view more photos at my Picasa albums.

Hello Starhub where’s your data usage tracker?!

December 23rd, 2009 by yuxiang

When it comes to data bundled plan with free limited data usage, you would definitely need a meter or record to see how much data you have officially used for the subscription month. With the introduction of enhanced data plans from the three telcos, it’s stupid not to have a panel where you let users check how much data they have used.

So…M1 has it…

Singtel has it too!

To my horror, STARHUB DOESN’T have it and you have to wait until your bill comes at the end of your subscription month to get a bill shock (capped at $30), and that’s according to their fan page where Starhub P.R replied to one of the fans with regards to this where they claimed that you can call 1633 to verify data usage.

But, to my horror, the fan called 1633 and was given a reply that ‘it’ll only be reflected on your next bill’

Like, wake up, please?
