Hyundais Going Mad

There has been a number of cases of Hyundai cars suddenly accelerating like crazy, and the accelerators seemingly getting stuck. Maybe it is a case of dokebi -- Korean imps -- that don't like Hyundai. Hyundai means "modernity", and I can only imagine that ancient Oriental spirits like dokebi cannot be to impressed with that. Humour aside, it is actually quite serious as the videos below show.








As if Korean drivers by themselves are not scary enough, now we have to be concerned about possessed cars too!

WhatsApp Messenger

Hey, I just downloaded WhatsApp Messenger on my Android. It is a Smartphone Messenger which replaces SMS. This app even lets me send pictures, video and other multi-media! WhatsApp Messenger is available for Android, iPhone, Nokia and BlackBerry and there is no PIN or username to remember - it works just like SMS and uses your internet data plan. Get it now from http://www.whatsapp.com/download/ and say good-bye to SMS.

In short, I can now SMS friends and family with smart phones (regardless whether they are Android based, Apple, or Blackberry) for free.

Wait for the Next Version of the Galaxy Tab

In a previous post I mentioned how I'm drooling over Samsung's Galaxy Tab. Yesterday, however, I had the good fortune of meeting a software engineer with intimate knowledge of the Galaxy-products. Of course I immediately asked his opinion about the Galaxy Tab. Although he had favourable things to say about the hardware, he was quick to tell me not to go for this first version. There are still some software glitches, for instance with reading PDFs and the like. He said that hardware wise, the Galaxy Tab is pretty much the same as the iPad, using the same processor chip. He also mentioned that while the software is not yet up to standard, that the Android platform is progressing at such a pace that future versions of this platform is going to become the standard for tabs, smart phones and the like.

The video-series below compares the iPhone 4 to the Galaxy S.





The Galaxy S (smart phone) is quite comparable to the iPhone. I've had the Galaxy S in hand a couple of times; it seems to function quite smoothly and all the owners I've spoken to seems to be pleased with it. I also think that it being a Korean product it is more suited to my needs in Korea.

I guess, I'll wait a while before investing in a tablet. In the meantime, I'll see if I can upgrade my phone contract to a Galaxy S.
