iPhone OS 3.0 Preview Event

by Steven Sentosa on March 16, 2009

Today will be so exciting as I am waiting for Apple’s iPhone OS 3.0 preview. It will be held in Apple HQ today, March 17th, at 10:00AM PST. If you are not in Pacific timezone, here’s a helpful cheat sheet:

07:00AM - Hawaii
10:00AM - Pacific
11:00AM - Mountain
12:00PM - Central
01:00PM - Eastern
05:00PM - London
06:00PM - Paris
02:00AM - Tokyo (March 18th)

So what are the rumors? so far, these are some features that Apple might add to iPhone in OS 3.0:

  • MMS
  • Copy & Paste
  • Background processing and email push
  • Horizontal keyboard

Personally, if I were to have an iPhone, I would like to have these features, in addition to those mentioned above:

  • Video recording
  • Tethering capability (either using bluetooth or wireless)
  • Cameras on both side for video conference

Well…I can only dream about using those functionalities on iPhone because I don’t even have an iPhone yet. I’m actually still strugling whether I am getting iPhone or not, but I think I will get an iPhone later next month probably, when I am eligible for upgrade discount.

Are you iPhone fans? if you are, what are the iPhone capabilities that you would like to have on this major OS upgrade?

Busy week with some good laugh

by Steven Sentosa on March 12, 2009

I have been so busy this week with midterms and projects. It’s all over now, and it’s time for Spring Break. But since my school doesn’t have regular spring break vacations, I am stuck here at the college. Luckily, we will have a cook-out / fellowship between the Indonesian at the beach this weekend. I am so looking forward for that event. What could be better than good foods and an awesome fellowship with your friends, right?

However, in the midst of my busy week, I found few entertainments that made me laugh this past week. I thought that I would share them with you. May be it will make your day :)

CuteOverload.com 
You have to see this website. This website will make you go “Oooo…so cute!!!” I’m serious. Especially if you were a female, you will like this website. It’s full with cute animals doing things that you had never imagined before.

INewIdea.com
This website is for you my fellow geeks. It’s full with inventions that are futuristics, weird, cool and awesome at the same time. I don’t know how to explain it. You have to see yourself.

squishable.com
Are you looking for a gift for your girlfriend? Check out this site. You can find a lot of “squishable” stuffed animals that are so lovable. 

Lastly, I got these video from one of my friend also. It’s in Japanese, but there should be an English subtitles on it. It’s a parody of Japanese cultures that can be really “delicate” sometime.

I submitted my website to CellPhones.org Blogging Appreciation Awards few weeks ago, and  I just got this email in my inbox:

Dear Steven,

Our judges looked over thousands of nominations and yours was only one of 200 (less than 10% of the submissions) that has been recognized for blogging excellence.

The requirements are pretty straight forward. I have to be an active blogger for at least 2 months. No spam and automated blog. So, I submitted my blog, and surprisingly I was choosen as the semi-finalist.

Thank you CellPhones.org! I’m grateful, and it is an honour for me to be a part of your contest. Let this be an encouragement for me to be a better blogger in the future.
