Apple Girl, aka Kim Yeo-hee, a 22-year-old girl from South Korea is currently making big waves back in her native country. Known on YouTube as “applegirl002,” is making the leap from viral video sensation to recording star.




Although there are many singer wannabe in Youtube, Kim Yeo Hee was a little different from the rest. There's a twist to how she showcases her talent, she actually used iPhones and music-creation apps as accompaniment.


With more than 1 million people watched her first video, she was playing simultaneously on three iPhones,and then sang Beyonce’s “Irreplaceable.”




After a week, Kim uploaded a second video, her own version of Lady Gaga’s “Poker Face,” that was somewhat more of a performance and to date, that video has been viewed more than 2 million times.




Music producers from China and England raced with those from South Korea to sign her up. She ended up choosing a Seoul-based producer, Dreamhigh-Ent, in April, and started recording her own songs.

For the meantime, you can continue drooling on the latest iPhone 4G from apple.com  while waiting for it to be shipped to Malaysia. You might be asking what is the price of a iPhone 4G ? I would say it would definitely be priced around RM2000 with commitment from the telco company.


Maybe Maxis or DiGi will sell the iPhone 4G but who knows maybe Celcom is on their way to negotiate a deal with Apple ?

Supermodel Bar Refaeli was caught at Tel Aviv's international airport this week trying to bring in her newly purchased iPad without declaring it at customs. Items brought into Israel worth more than around $200 are subject to duties.


Refaeli told Israel's Channel 10 TV that she had an iPad in a suitcase that was lost in transit. She said she didn't declare the iPad upon entrance to Israel for a brief commercial appearance. She is now required to pay 650 shekels ($170) in taxes and fines to get it back.


Israel lifted its ban on the popular tablet computer two weeks ago. The restrictions were initially imposed over concerns the Apple Inc. gadget's wireless signal could disrupt other devices.

The decision by Apple to delay the release of its iPad overseas has given the impetus to enterprising parties to cash in on local fans who cannot wait to get their hands on the device.


A check on popular local forums such as Lowyat.net revealed that iPads are already being sold on the forum by some users. Parallel importers have also gotten into the business of selling iPads in IT malls, including Digital Mall in Section 14 here.


Prices for these grey imports range from RM2,400 to RM2,900 for the 16GB WiFi version. The official price for a similar iPad on the official US Apple online store is US$499 (RM1,600) before tax.


The company has not revealed pricing for overseas markets yet.

I'm sure alot of you out there had difficulties surfing the Apple site as it down for quite some time of the day. Fret not, as the Apple crew are only doing some updating stuffs to it. And voila !! We get to see the refresh of the highly anticipated MacBook Pro with Nehalem processors.


The new 15-inch and 17- inch Macbook will feature the new Intel Core i5 and i7 processors boosting performance by up to 50% more.They will also feature next-generation graphics in the form of the new NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M discrete graphics processor.

Meanwhile the battery life is much improved with new energy-efficient architecture in every Macbook Pro making a huge difference. The 13-inch Macbook Pro battery will last up to ten hours on a single charge, while the batteries on the 15-inch and 17-inch models will last between 8 and 9 hours.


The MacBook Pro's iconic unibody aluminum construction remains, as does its large glass multi-touch trackpad, but the graphics capabilities of all the MacBook Pros have gotten a significant upgrade. The 13-inch MacBook Pros now have new Nvidia GeForce 320M integrated graphics, which should provide a boost over the previous 9400M graphics.


The 13-inch MacBook Pro comes with 4GB memory and Nvidia’s GeForce 320M graphics processor. There are two configurations

• 2.4GHz processor and 250GB hard drive for $1,199

Apple will finally update the MacBook Pro on April 13th, a source claims. While the person's identity is being kept secret, the source is described as "familiar with Apple product cycles and inventory levels."

Every MacBook Pro model is expected to receive new hardware, though exact specifications are have not been mentioned. The MacBook Air may also see a refresh, but this is not guaranteed; like the Pro, the Air was last upgraded in June 2009.

New MacBook Pro configurations have been anticipated for some time, to the extent that they could be considered overdue by Apple's usual schedule. The company may already have plenty to promote however, namely iPhone 4.0 and the iPad, the latter of which has yet to roll out internationally or in a 3G version.

The new MacBook Pros are widely predicted to switch to Core i3, i5 and i7 processors. They may also gain an extra hour of battery life in some cases, and options for 640GB hard disks or 256GB SSDs. A shortage of processors on Intel's end may be to blame for the refresh delay.

Ok, the post that some of us might have been waiting for. The price and data package comparison between  Maxis iPhone and Digi iPhone. Who will win the battle in the long term ? I can safely assumed that iPhone 3Gs are targeted at the younger generations.

The moment everyone's been waiting for !! Yes,its the release of Apple iPhone latest packages from Digi. From as low as RM106 per month, you are entitled of this awesome iPhone with free call time, SMS and Internet access nickname the iDigi package.

And the best part of all, you do not need to change to a new number, in this case to a Digi number if you are using the services of other operator. How cool is that !!

Without further adieu, I will let the picture or price below to do the talking. Be prepared to drool over it yo !!

Each package comes with unlimited Internet access and even if you exceeded the data cap for any packages, there are no extra charges applied !! Damn awesome I tell you !!


I am very interested in the iPhone 3GS 16GB + iDigi 88 plan. Therefore, I had made a rough calculation on the payment. If I would to pay with EPP aka installment for 24 month it would set me back RM159 per month.

Yeaps, I'm so poor that I cant even buy the iPhone in one whole lump sum, therefore paying by EPP 24 is not a bad idea after all. Here's an easy calculation hopefully you wont get lost in the whole process.

RM159 ( EPP/month ) - RM88 ( iDiGi 88) = RM71 ( iPhone/month ) 

RM71 x 24 = RM1704 ( iPhone after 24 months)

RM1704 - RM1590 = RM114 (difference of a lump sum and EPP iPhone)

If you divide the RM114 by 24 months = RM4.75 per month extra !!

So what's the point of doing this calculation you will ask. Well, actually by paying an extra close to RM5 per month, you get to enjoy the awesome iPhone with the cool package without having to break the bank for one lump sum of it and then paying an extra RM88 per month for the service.

If paying extra is not your thing and you can compromise with your gadget's speed, then iPhone 3G will suit you more.


All in all, DiGi had come out with an awesome and affordable iPhone package compared to Maxis. Well which telco provider will lead the iPhone war ? Maxis or DiGi ? Yet to be told but I'm sniffing that there will be a price war starting soon.

Well, I think I will post up on the comparison of iPhone package pricing between Digi and Maxis soon. Stay tune kay !!

In the meantime, do surf on http://www.digi.com.my/iphone/ for more info.

After weeks and even months of speculations, Apple has finally released their first ever tablet computer yesterday at San Francisco. And yes, it's not called the iSlate or iTablet, believe it or not, the new tablet is called the Apple iPad !! How interesting !

This very anticipated iPad weighs only 680g with only 0.5inch thick for a large form factor tablet. Imagine it as a bigger brother to your iPhone or iPod Touch and yes they worked almost the same way albeit the size differences.

What are the specs for this Apple iPad ? It runs on a custom 1GHz Apple A4 processor chip that handles both processing and graphics performance. It is also fully network capable with 802.11n WiFi and 3G connectivity.

It will ship with 16GB, 32GB or 64GB of Flash memory. Apple claims the device has up to 10 hours of battery life and that it can sit for a month on standby without needing a charge.

A big 9.7in LED backlit display (1,024 x 768-pixels) with multitouch capabilities and has a built-in accelerometer.

Interestingly the iPad syncs with a Mac or PC over the same 30-pin sync cable that the iPhone uses, so it can sync all your photos, music, videos and applications in the same manner.

Giving the Amazon Kindle a run for its money, the iPad also functions as an e-book reader, courtesy of Apple’s new iBooks application. The iPad will use Apple’s new iBookstore that will feature books from major and independent publishers.

The iPad comes in two versions — one with WiFi and the other with both WiFi and 3G.

It will go on sale in late March, with prices starting at US$499 (RM1,697) for WiFi-only models and up to US$829 (RM2,818) for the WiFi- and 3G-enabled 64GB model.

My verdict ?
PROS - With its larger size, the iPad's virtual keyboard comes a step closer than the iPhone's to replicating a real keyboard, with "keys" people can touch with two hands and all of their fingers.

CONS - The iPad is designed to run just one application on the screen at time and doesn't allow multitasking. It also lacks a built-in camera to take photos and video and the ability to play Flash-based content on web sites.

I am very sure that you will not do that to your iPhone 3G ! Why not, we leave it to the expert and see what's the result kay ? Watch the video below for the Before and After result. WARNING !!--If you are a true iPhone fan, please dont watch this heart wrecking video k ?
