June 28th, 2010 by ytechcity

After maxis launch the HTC legend and HTC desire. Just recently, the people running it’s official Twitter account have just confirmed with us that Maxis will be bringing in the 8GB iPhone 3GS and today, ahead of the official launch, Maxis has revealed the subsidized pricing for the Samsung Galaxy S.

We mentioned earlier that it will be close to what Maxis is offering for the HTC Desire and we we’re not far off. With a 12 month contract on any Value Plus plan with an added on data plan, the Galaxy S can be yours for RM1,699.

It’s a pretty good deal considering the specs you’re getting. It’s hard to imagine that just a couple of years back you’d be paying upward of RM3,000 for a comparable WinMo smartphone.


Powered by a 4-inch Super AMOLED screen and the latest version of Android™,
the Samsung Galaxy S brings you an exceptional mobile experience.
4-inch Super AMOLED screen with touch-sensitive controls
5MP AF Camera with HD Recording capability
Swype text input lets you type on the touch screen without lifting your finger

With the Farmville app, you can take care of your virtual farm almost anywhere, and there’s no need to worry about withering and unharvested crops, no need to do any work, eat, talk to family members or have any resemblance of a social life.


Here’s a video of what you can do with the Farmville app and hit up the iTunes link to download the app.

iPhone: iOS4 now available for download

June 21st, 2010 by ytechcity

The iPhone 4 (just annouced on WWDC 10) might still be months away from Malaysian shores but that doesn’t mean you can’t try out the brand spanking new OS that comes with it (albeit with some limitations depending on which iPhone you’re using)

Yes, the iOS4 is now available for download complete with multitasking and folders. But before you begin downloading the new OS, you have to have the latest iTunes (ver9.2) installed as well.

While you’re waiting for the downloads to be completed here’s a here’s a 10 minute video guide on the iOS4 to get you familiarized with the new features and what not.

The video demo is running on an iPhone 3GS which gets to use almost all of the new features iOS4. But if you’re running the iPhone do note that you will not be getting multitasking and a few other things. So we’d advice those running on iPhone 3G not to upgrade for risk of making your phone slower.

Don’t say we didn’t warn you.
