Obsolete Gadgets

It is a planned thing for having a devices for not more than 2 or 3 years. If you are having a gadgets and you're a tech savvy, believe me you'll have a new one almost every 1 year for a replacement or every 4 months for a new thing either due to damages or technological changes.

No matter what they are, computer, laptops (Mac, Windows), Phone, iphone,Ipod, PDA, Palm, Wii, PS3/2/one, GPS, Walkie, D/SLR, Lense, CAM, DVD Player, HDPlayer, BlueRay Player, Plasma, LCD, Dish, Bose earphone, Speakers, HiFi, DreamBox, Inverter, RC Toys or even a Compressor, you will not in a day not thinking about it.

It is like a time boom being installed in these devices. After a certain usage or even not used frequently but when it reach certain time it will be obsolete.

It is like"

I'm having Glofiish M700 which I'm quite satisfied with the performance. For almost 2.5 years we were together, it comes to an end last week where the Mini USB port became unusable, because all the soldering part become weak during the usage.

I tried to solder back but, need to use a micro-tronic soldering tools which I was not intended to have, now will be in my wish list also. So the battery can't be charged but the incoporated phone/garminXT/pda still can be used. I would like to have this iphone 3G but I would have to buy Garmin separately and still have to JailBreak the firmware since will have this from UK (about QAR 2K) and Vodafone Sim-lock.

Actually I'm thinking of having nothing else other than ETEN- Glofiish but not M700 since this is no longer in production and the new version is more advanced with built in HSDPA and latest original software forFB, YM, Skype etc also incorporated. What I like most about this Glofiish is because, I don't have to buy a new Garmin device since it's already embedded with GPS SiRF Star III Chipset (same as my M700) which will accepts 23 satellite signals for fast and accurate navigation.

The only problem with PDA is that we would not find more than 64Mb SDRAM for faster access but can be offset by the fast Processor and in this case hopefully Samsung S3 533MHz might help. At least 256 Mb flash ROM will improve the performance this time beside Micro SD for program installation.

If I have to make a choice, it is not definite but I'm more on to Glofiish X900 or maybe M650 if the price make the differences. Anyway still in the evaluation process until it is done.

Rentetan dari 'Prediction for A visitor from London... "

Kali ini aku akan cuba menulis dalam bahasa malaysia :

Sehari selepas aku membuat catatan bertajuk "Prediction for A visitor from London... ", aku menerima "SMS" dari Kakak Ku, berbunyi ..."Le, sorry, my trip is cancelled.tak jadi gi.sorry", haahh, ketika ini aku sedang memandu pulang dari pejabat QTel di West Bay. Rasa terkejut dan kecewa pun ada, menyelubungi pemikiran, bertambah kecewa kerana tidak dapat memberi tumpuan untuk membalas kiriman "SMS" tersebut. Aku sempat menaip beberapa perkataan bertanyakan alasan sementara menunggu lampu hijau di Rawdat AlKhail(aku amat mengingati persimpangan ini kerana isteriku mengatakan ianya Rawdat Al-Khalil dan akulah yg betul).

"Apasal? Dah buat entry kat blog hu hu hu budok2 doh excited", itulah bunyi "SMS" yg sempat ku taip mengunakan papan kunci QWERTY - GLOFISH M700 yg banyak berjasa (telefon mudah alih yang paling lama ku pakai > 2 tahun). Terdetik di hati dengan pertanyaan, adakah disebabkan tulisanku di laman blog Radius-Qatar, maka di tentukan untuk pembatalan lawatannya atau pun tidak ada kaitan sama sekali.Sebenarnya, alasan terkandung di dalam SMS berikutnya "So sorry, bos aku kena gi honk kong so dia cxl. me too really looking forward.sedih....", dan seterusnya aku membalas dengan menghantar perkataan atau ayat yg mudah difahami yg paling ringkas dan termahal iaitu "k", menunjukkan yang aku menerima dan faham akan sebab-sebab pembatalan tersebut, walaupun berbaur merajuk, kecewa dan sebagainya.Perasaan kecewa, merajuk adalah biasa dan semestinya akan timbul bilamana ada pertembungan antara kebaikan(positive-dengan izin) dan keburukan(negative-dengan izin). Kebaikan adalah setelah luahan keceriaan untuk menerima tetamu pertama ku di qatar di catatkan di laman 'blog' dan keburukan adalah berita atas pembatalan tersebut "yakni" sejurus selepas catatan.
Tuhan itu MAHA segala-galanya, kita di ajar supaya tidak mudah berputus asa, jangan cepat melatah dan bersabar tanpa ada batas. Aku menerima lagi pesanan ringkas "SMS" bertulis "But nati aku nak tengok dulu kalu ada cheap fare, aku gi jugak, dont knock it yet". Aku membacanya tanpa membalas, tetapi ada iras-iras atau bau-bauan yang lawatannya akan diteruskan. Kemudian kedengaran "code morse - a b c d e f ....tutut, tuuutuutututt, tuutuututt.." lagi sekali, (ini adalah nada dering yang aku gunakan) satu lagi "SMS", "Ok.checked.jadi gi.phew!flt 20/2 balik 23/2". dan sejurus kemudian aku menerima "itinerary" perjalanannya melalui "email".

Beberapa "SMS" lagi di hantar rentetan dari itu untuk menentukan beberapa perkara. Adakah Kakak ku dapat merasa akan kekecewaan yang aku rasai sekiranya dia tidak dapat meneruskan lawatannya dan atas sebab itulah dia terpaksa mencari pernerbangan atas urusan peribadi dan akan menghabiskan beberapa hari cutinya bersama Keluarga ku di Doha. Atau sememangnya dia akan tetap meneruskan perjalannan walau apa pun terjadi, samada atas urusan pekerjaan (bagaikan pucuk di cita ulam mendatang) mahu pun terpaksa berbelanja sendiri.

Hakikat, itulah kehendakNYA.
