Right before the new iPhone is revealed, DiGi is throwing extra discounts for its iPhone 4 bundling. Now they have reduced the monthly subscription by another RM10/month. With a 24 months contract, this is an extra RM240 worth of savings.

So this means, the iDiGi 88 is offered at RM43/month, iDiGi 138 at RM73/month and iDiGi 238 at RM143/month. Monthly subscription mentioned is after RM5 rebate for signing up with DiGi’s auto-billing. The last reduction was 2 months ago when they slashed RM5 off from its iDiGi subscription fees.

Siri on iPhone 4S lets you use your voice to send messages, schedule meetings, place phone calls, and more. Ask Siri to do things just by talking the way you talk. Siri understands what you say, knows what you mean, and even talks back. Siri is so easy to use and does so much, you’ll keep finding more and more ways to use it.

Now you can use your voice to use your iPhone. Just talk to Siri as you would to a person: “Do I need an umbrella?” or “Any great burgers around here?” or “Where’s the closest ATM?” Siri not only understands what you say, it knows what you mean.1 It figures out the right apps to use to find the right answer. Then, just like a personal assistant, it answers you. Siri makes phone calls, sends messages, schedules meetings, sets reminders, and more. How much more? Just ask, and Siri tells you that, too.

So you’ve waiting this long to see what magical amazingness Apple will bring with its new iPhone. A large number of you, us included, was hoping for a revolutionary device with a radically new design and out-of-this world features.

Unfortunately, we were all desperately disappointed. The world waited for a completely new iPhone, instead Apple gave us an iPhone 4 rehash and called it “the most amazing iPhone yet”. While amazing, the iPhone 4S is not, many are still wondering if it is a worthwhile buy.

However, considering the 18-month gap between the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S, the new features are barely enough to keep up with the blistering pace of mobile phone developments. By the end of the year, the iPhone 4S will be overshadowed by faster, more powerful devices running not just Android but Windows Phone as well.

So, should you upgrade to the iPhone 4S?

The two most compelling features of the iPhone 4S is the 8MP camera and the A5 processor (we don’t consider Siri a notable feature due to the lack of native language support and the different user habits of Asian users which is not necessarily complementary with the service). These improvements will indeed offer appreciable performance boost to the user but is it worth the investment? We don’t think so. If you’re already using an iPhone 4, the iPhone 4S offers only incremental improvements not worthy of an upgrade. If you’re on the iPhone 3GS, purchasing an iPhone 4S is certainly justifiable — that is if you’re only interested in iOS devices. But if you are open to adopting any one of the prominent mobile platforms available today, you’ll quickly see that it gets increasingly difficult to make a case for the iPhone 4S.

As it is, the current crop of Android devices are superior to the iPhone 4S. The Galaxy S II for example, was launched 6 months before the iPhone 4S and despite having “older” tech, the Samsung is arguably better in almost every aspect. The same can be said with the HTC Sensation.

We predict the iPhone 4S could come to Malaysia in October 28 at the earliest or in time for the year-end holiday season at the latest. In this period, we see a number of smartphones coming into the market, with almost all offering vastly improved hardware and performance compared to the iPhone 4S.

Don’t have time to sit down for over an hour to catch up on the whole iPhone 4S keynote? Here’s a compressed 90 seconds version perfect for your lunch time viewing. We’ll have to warn you though, its all numbers, numbers and more numbers.

Yes have just opened registration for the beta version of its Yes Life app for Android. You’ll need a Yes ID to sign-up and the app is not available in the Android Market just yet.

Only devices running Android 2.1 and above are supported. To sign-up click here. Yes has not mentioned when the final version of the app will be released. But considering that the beta is being distributed to the public at the moment, it going to be just a matter of weeks till the final version is released.

We’ve gotten our hands on the beta version of the application and we have to say it is much more polished than the iOS version with loads more useful features added making it much more conducive to use.
