A new sexy babe is coming soon. The Palm Pre. I predict iPhone users/owners will be so envious, they might even cry when they see what this baby can do. Running on the new Palm WebOS, basically…it can do everything an iPhone can…but more, LOADS more! Now I won’t do like a full review, because I haven’t seen or tested the actual device yet as it’s suppose to be released only during the first half of 2009. Meaning, for it to reach our shores…it would probably be 3rd or 4th quarter of the year. But let me tell you about some of the KILLER features that will put iPhone to shame..

“Cards” to represent Applications
See the picture above? There are 3 “Cards” that represent 3 individual applications running at the same time. You can scroll through the “cards” and stop when you want to access an application. And if you want to close an application, simply “flick” the “card” upwards and it will close that particular application. How cool is that? The idea is somewhat similar to holding playing cards in your hand.

Full QWERTY keypad
As you can see, there is a full QWERTY keypad that slides right out for typing. This saves "real estate" space on your screen unlike the iPhone that requires an on screen keyboard for text inputs.

3 Megapixel Camera with Flash
While the iPhone’s camera is only 2.0MP, this one comes with a 3.0MP camera with flash that also utilises an installed software that allows you to tweak contrast, color balance and many more.

Synchronization with Facebook & Google Mail
This phone allows you to save a person’s details like Facebook, GMail addresses and more into one contact setting. So say one of your contact changes his/her phone number or even picture on Facebook, it will automatically update your address book with the new contact number the next time a connection is made. Not only that, with the integration of GMail, it also allows you to chat via Google Talk if the person is online. So you won’t have to worry about people changing numbers and not informing you already.

Wireless charging
This is probably the coolest feature. You charge the phone wirelessly using their Touchstone charging dock. Magnets in the dock align your phone in the correct position for charging, whether in portrait or landscape mode. No wires involved! Pretty nifty don’t you think?

This video is a full demo of all the Pre’s features and capabilities. If you’re a true geek (like myself) or are into gadgets, take time to view it…it’s about 26 mins long but trust me…it’s worth watching. You’ll be left drooling and probably throw your iPhone away if you already own one.

How much do think it would cost once it’s available here? I’m thinking around the RM2xxx range. So…3 guesses what’s next on my wish list? Hehe

I WANT THIS! The Nike Cortez Free Flywire 2009. The Nike Cortez is one of the longest running sneakers from Nike since 1972. Nike is bringing an updated version of the sneaker for 2009 by adding Free technology, and Flywire technology. Flywire is an ultra strong, paper-thin series of cables that when interwoven into the upper provide superior durability and support in the places the foot needs it most while drastically reducing weight.

If there is one thing I like about these sneakers are their retro look but with a modern twist. There is an array of colors to choose from as well (many not shown here). My personal favourite are the orange ones. I wonder when will they be available here though…

Here is the thing…in my previous post I said I wanted to get those limited edition Woven Airscapes. NOWWWW….I saw something else that I wanted. A new digital camera! The FinePix F50fd . Just look at the features and the review on PC Magazine and you will know what I mean. So how now?? Well honestly, I think it’s a better (or a wiser) decision to be investing on a digital camera rather than a pair of over priced sneakers. But…..that would mean I have to sell my old one! So who wants to buy my old Fuji FinePix F455, do let me know. It’s in extremely good condition for a camera that is slightly over 2 years. Not even a scratch - it looks like it came straight out of the box…honest!

Well what attracted me to the Fuji camera was because it comes with high ISO capability (ISO 6400) and has a night auto-focus PIM. In layman terms, it takes very good night shots. It also comes with the standard anti-shake function. Also, it’s the first camera that takes both xD and SD memory cards, so I can have an option (finally!).

So how?
OR

Well, those who wants my old camera, I’m willing to sell it for around RM 400 (still negotiable though) which comes with an extra battery and extra xD picture cards. But then, I think I will most likely get the camera…wait…sneakers…..no wait…camera….arrrggghhh!!!

My pair of limited edition Miharas

I was walking at The Gardens the other day, when I then came across this shop called SoleWhat? which is one of the very few places that sell limited edition shoes in KL. Holy crap! My eyes lit up when I went in. Not because of the interior deco of the shop, but rather the collection of limited edition shoes that they have! They even carry the Onitsuka Tiger brand which I think is the first shop in Malaysia to sell this brand (but I might be wrong here).

Then suddenly from a distance, I could hear a pair calling out my name… As I turned and looked, I saw these beautiful pair of limited edition Nike Woven Air Footscapes! It was love at first sight I tell you. These pair are so rare, that they only have 2 pairs of each color available in Malaysia! Immediately I asked to try on a pair, and they fit PERFECTLY! It was so comfortable, that for a moment, I actually was thinking to make a run for it after putting both sides on! Haha…well, only problem is…it’s freaking RM750 bucks!

Love at first sight! The Hideout x Nike Woven Air Footscape

The one I saw was in black and red stripe, with a transparent “gel” sole. Siigghh! Now there is a huge temptation for me to get one, and I’ve been contemplating whether to get it or not for a few days already. Only thing is, I just got a pair of Pumas and I think I need a bit of time to recuperate. If I were to get it, it will mean I have to sacrifice my other spendings, but if I don’t, I might not be able to see or get them ever again! (did I mention there are only 2 pairs in Malaysia?) Arrrgghh! Decisions decisions. Help! Maybe you can start a donation drive to help raise funds for me to get that pair? Hahah…we shall see if it’s fated for me to get it or not then.
