Go green.

My buying habit is at it again! This time, BIG time!!!

I recently sold of both my cars (Perodua Kelisa 2002 and Honda City 2007) to buy the Toyota Prius. Loving the car as each day goes by. Initially I find the shape a little "off" but one tends to grow to like it.

Driving style seems to have changed too. I am now becoming less aggressive with the fuel consumption as the main concern (unless I'm late for an appointment of course). My average fuel consumption I am getting is about 5 litres/100km. Technically it should be about 3.8 litres/100km.

My Story with Yes 4G

I have gotten into Yes 4G "trap".

Sometime back when Yes 4G was launched, they were offering people to sign-up and choose your preferred 018-Xxxxxxxxx number. No payment was require

d. So I think..... why not? Let's see how it works. That time there was no UniFi for me yet. Not that I have to pay anything at the moment. I knew I only need to start paying upon activating the account.

However, when Yes Life app came to the iPhone, I installed it and started playing around with it not realising that the account became activated. Was until a couple of days back when I was toying with the idea to use Yes 4G service to replace my poor DiGi 3G service when my contract ends, I check my account status online. Lo and behold! I owe them RM119+ (RM30 min per month)!!!!

So, decision was to either to cut the line or continue. After some research, I found that the service is pretty promising therefore I decided to continue. To continue and pay with out a device???

I went to SenQ and got myself a Huddle Modem (cost me RM399) and after paying what I owe to Yes, I manage to get online. Speed was astounding especially when your modem shows green color signal strength. Faster if not equivalent to UniFi VIP5.

Why Android and the NOT iOS?

I was actually contemplating getting the ipad3 when it comes to the stores. What changed my mind? I've talked to a friend and he convinced me how good/powerful the Transformer was as compared to the ipad.

Personally, I think the ipad is a wonderful machine. Especially if you do not intent to fool around much with the operating system. On the other hand, Android operating system allows you for more flexibility if you are one who likes to "hack" into stuff.

I am still learning the android system. So far it has been fun. BTW, I also owned a China Pad. comes with Android 2.1 but was pretty awful to use. The touchscreen sensitivity is horrible. Fortunately, I was successful in upgrading it to Android 2.2 a.k.a. Froyo a couple of days back. The sensitivity of the screen is much improved. However I am unable to sign-in with my google account. Why?? Only time and more hacking will tell.
