Xperia X1

Sony Ericsson recently presented a new phone Xperia X1, which is quite interesting. It is not just only it's look (3" screen with a resolution of 800 X 480, 3 Megapixel camera), it's feel (qwerty keyboard, touchscreen), it's flow (GSM, GPRS, WCDMA, HSDPA, HSUPA, WLAN, aGPS, bluetooth), but also it's heart (625 Mhz CPU and hardware 3D)




The video is slow, hence be patient.



Hope you enjoy the video.

Youth Entrepreneur @ Aljunied and Hougang (YEAH)

Minister of State Lim Hwee Hua was the Guest of Honour at the Youth Entrepreneur @ Aljunied and Hougang (YEAH) Media Launch on 10 May 2008 (Sat) at Junction 8. Our senior MWC student, Nurhanisah participated in the Cambodian dance. We are very proud of her. The following is her story.

Last Saturday (10 May), I got involved in the Yeah Event as a dancer. It was a very fruitful experience for me as I learnt on how to mix with people. At the same time, I felt joy to be able to help the women in Cambodia who are struggling for survival. I am proud to be able to represent the school and learnt a lot of new things in which I could not learn in the classroom. I had to work with the ITE Bishan students and learn more about the Cambodian culture and perform a dance. The Cambodian dance I performed showed the lifestyle of the Cambodian villagers. We did research on the culture and lifestyle of the Cambodians and even managed to lend clothes from the Cambodian Embassy. At the end of the day, I had lots of fun making new friends and learning more about the Cambodian culture.

Today, Mr Yap (Seismic) told us about jobs in iCell and QMax, which are Singapore wireless operators for Wireless@SG. The jobs there are very relevant to the skills we are being equipped with during our course.

Oh yes, keep your eyes wide open; look at all the access points (the new small white boxes, if i'm not mistaken) coming along in TP~ =)

Are "PSP" and "DS-Nintendo" the improved version of "iRiver U10"?

Hello all!
Came across a website selling a portable MP3 Player name "iRiver U10 hands-on".
In my point of view,
this product seems to be the earliest version of 'PSP' and 'DS-Nintendo'.


Some photos to share:

It's small, portable and sleek!
Don't you guys think so?


This product which is called "iRiver U1o", is lauched in Hong Kong in October 2005.

Basically, it provides the same functions as an MP4 today.
It has :
- an 2.2-inch, 320 x 240 pixel LCD screen
- comes with either 512 MB or 1 GB of memory
- an integrated FM tuner
- "playable games"
- support for playback of MPEG4 video files and MP3, WMA, and OGG audio files.

Prices of it are:
-512MB : $199
-1GB : $249

In Aug 2006, Japan improved "iRiver U10" to have an internal memory of 2GB and the price of it was around US$200.

Ain't technology cool?

From just a small and simple device like "iRiver U10", it has become something more advanced such as 'PSP' and 'DS-Nintendo'.


Technology never fails to facinate me.
