The best of both worlds

» I must admit that the BlackBerry and I had a shaky start. I did not fully understand it much other than an extension of the corporate data centre when I first encountered it and since then, things have gone downhill with it becoming a symbol of the elite that made me feel queasy. The last straw was the launch of the Bold 9700 complete with pictures of socialites (RIM calls them opinion leaders who people aspire to, or something similarly politically correct) and their BlackBerry pouches in glass boxes for us to marvel at.
Companies play the upgrade waiting game, MS massages its stats

» Microsoft recently made the claim that they had sold 90 million copies of Windows 7 since it reached the manufacturers in July last year. What actually happened then was that OEMs were told to put Win 7 on new machines by default. So the word "sold" is a little misleading here.
Blame game
Database, Published on 17/03/2010
» If you can't say nee sua paa jorake, put it this way: Out of the frying pan into the fire; telecoms firms apart from the state duopoly definitely thought of fleeing the tiger only to meet the crocodile in the wake of the Supreme Court's decision on the Thaksin assets; the Court's finding that Shin Corp of Shingapore (and previously Thailand) profited from cabinet decisions during the Thaksin years appeared to have emboldened the government into claiming that your ToT and your CAT Telecom "lost" billions, and a total rewrite of concession and other agreements could be in the offing; that would only take Thai telecoms back into the 20th century, result in high new charges for consumers and make 3G mobile phone service a fantasy instead of a dream; legally, of course, putting a phone in the hands of every Thai has theoretically cost the state-owned firms a lot - except that the state-owned firms were (and are) incapable of meeting the needs of the country at any price; every other telecom firm has certainly profited in the past two decades, but then so have consumers; a return to strict regulations would mean a return to the days when it was illegal to own a modem or a Telex machine, and the only legal way to communicate was to rent equipment from the state.
Many obstacles in the way of 3G coverage
Database, Don Sambandaraksa, Published on 17/03/2010
» Providing 3G coverage will prove much more difficult than many expect and is not just a case of re-using old 1800 cells sites to the nature of the technology that could see cell sizes range from over 100 kilometres to just down the road depending on the number of active users in the cell, as Alcatel-Lucent Thailand's head of solutions and marketing, Laurent Perche, explains.
Is it a bird, Is it a plane?

» Nokia, the world's largest mobile phone manufacturer, by far, released the highly anticipated N900 in Thailand recently to much expectation. The highly competitive smartphone market is now about more than just specs and aesthetics. Nokia has rolled out a new operating system on the N900, which seems more like an internet tablet than a phone, perhaps hinting at a sign of things to come. Let's take a closer look.
