Chelsea FC Training

Well as many of you would already know, Chelsea was recently in town. Eventho the match did not turn out as exciting as the rest did but still the fans still love them.

Hopefully with the new season, they will win the cup.

So I managed to sneak in to this little super heavily guarded event. lol.


Besides the hordes of blues fans going crazy to watch their favorite team member run around which was avoided, the media also got a chance to meet the players! Well sorta. They were training after all.
So as usual letting the pictures do the talking.

Samsung Galaxy Tab Review

Hey as some of you may know, I was recently fumbling around with the new 10.1 Tab by Samsung and well here is my video review!

I would say sorry tho cause its out of focus. Was really hard trying to record it with my dslr.
But anywho, it is pretty descriptive.



I would say tho, I do still prefer a laptop than a tab. Sure its lighter and it can be used at anytime but if you have a small laptop 11" maybe, fitted with a SSD hard drive, put to sleep. Then you pretty much can use it in a snap as well. Batt life wont be that significant but still you can do so much more. To me, lugging the tab around wasn't so diff as to lugging the Series 9 around.

Chelsea Asia Tour - Coach Media Training.

First of, thank you Samsung for giving me the pass for the once in a lifetime experience.
I got my chance to learn football from the Chelsea coaches when they were in KL recently.
Thank you Jessica Kan for holding on to the camera while we were trying so hard to not look bad.




I am a Chelsea fan but not a very big football fan so truth to be told, I suck with kicking a ball around a field. The coaches were very friendly and they were nice enough to be gentle on all the media people there. Still they did occasionally crack a joke here and there about how they would be going all out.

Samsung Series 9 First Impression and Usability

The sample unit comes with Intel i5 2537m, 4GB Ram, 100GB SSD Hard disk and Intel HD Graphics.
Weighing at only a little over 1kg, a bottle of water would weigh about the same.

Exterior
Well first thing I noticed was how damn thin the laptop was. It can easily beat netbooks in the lack of thickness. It ain't easy to comprehend how thin this 13'inch laptop is until you actually see it. The design is sleek and sexy but the one thing I noticed which was missing from normal laptops was the connectivity ports usually found at the sides of normal laptops. Ports on the Series 9 are cleverly hidden on both sides. Just pull down at the side and the ports would show. Since the laptop is also made of that duralumin airplane thing, you can feel very little flex, very sturdy. The Duralumin is a little sharp at the sides so you might feel it poking you sometimes and it may be scratch proof but not finger print proof.

The portability theme is also carried over to the connectivity ports. Besides the 2 normal sized USB 3.0 ports (one USB can charge your mp3 even when turned off), everything else is downsized and dependent on wireless connectivity. On the left, 1 mini HDMI, 1 USB and 1 mini/ micro network port. Even I haven't seen a mini network port before but here it is.
On the right , 1 USB, 1 audio out/ input (there is only 1 jack. So I guess the mic and headphone needs to be integrated together) and 1 micro SD reader. If this laptop is placed on a table, bigger USB devices would have difficulty connecting to the laptop, such as my mouse dongle.
The laptop does lack a CD/DVD player. So this might be a little troublesome.

Samsung Series 9 First Impression and Usability Coming soon

Hello, well some have mentioned that since I didn't give enough credit to it and some even said its not fair since I don't own one, I have gotten my hands on the Samsung Series 9.

So for this whole week. I am gonna bring it around and use it.
So no geeky specs, all I am gonna write about is the impression and how the laptop works out under daily conditions of a teen/uni student.

Give me a few days and some time to write up the post. For all you planning to get this laptop but still need a user review on it?
Well here it is!
**UPDATED** Here it is! LINK LINK

Samsung's 2011 netbook sneak peek coming soon!

Okay I have just had the chance to see the new netbooks from Samsung.
It has not yet been officially been launched yet and the specs are also not out yet. 




I will however be able to play around with it when it reaches my hands. So I will be able to give you a hands on write up about the feel and touch of the netbooks. Since usually the specs can always be found online. 




There were 2 models, one running on the new MeeGo OS and the other would be the FIRST netbook with a Solar Panel. 




But till then, here are the 2 pictures I took to tease your senses. 


More will be revealed when I get my hands on the netbooks. Can't wait!

Samsung YP-K3 MP3 Driver solution

Okay I own one YP-K3 mp3 and since finding it back, I had trouble connecting it to my laptop.
There seems to be a lot of websites with a lot of junk in it.
So here is the solution.

My laptop is running on Windows 7, 64bit.

1. Download the Samsung Media thingy from this link. (click Free Download and External Link)
2. Select SOFTWARE which is next to MANUALS. Then choose the file you want to download. 
3. After downloading it, install it (for Windows XP and Vista). For W7, right click and select Compatibility and select Vista.
4. Let everything install itself. The MEDIA player should be installed. 
5. Plug in the YP-K3 into the computer and it should be detected by the Media player. 

That's about it. 

Samsung Launches Smart TV

Only hours ago, Samsung launched their newest line of TV screens which are called the SMART TV.


What is a smart TV?
For Samsung it is not just for watching movies. Samsung has come up with a TV that can be used for watching movies, view objects in your phone or laptop, be connected to other Samsung devices and it can be played with. Want to watch your show while checking Twitter or Facebook? Sure why not.  Whether you are a LED fan or a Plasma tv fan, fret not as Samsung has released both types of tv to suit your every need.

My Samsung Series 9 laptop Review

Finally had the time to write this up. Sorry for the delay.

Well I'm sure many out there would have already played around with this laptop but what the heck, I'm still gonna write it anyways.
I had a chance to play with the laptop during its launching recently.

First I shall begin with the specs of it.

• Intel i5 2nd Gen 1.4GHz
• 4GB ram
• Windows 7 64bit
• 128GB Flash Hard Disk
• Chargeable USB port
• Backlit keyboard

The Samsung Series 9 laptop is designed for people on the go. With its thin and lightweight design, being portable was definitely one of the main themes. The laptop is also pack with a Intel 2^nd Gen processor, so don’t you worry about lagging and not being able to multitask. One of the main points that Samsung highlights would be the SUPER bright LED screen(1366x768) which is supposed to be the brightest in the current market, so for all those users who likes using their laptop out in the sun, don’t you worry about it. For users who like to sit in the dark, a backlit keyboard is provided and it is sensor guided. When it is dark enough, it would automatically switch on.

Samsung Launches 13" laptop & New line up of 3D HD Monitors.

Yesterday Samsung Officially launched their new 13" Series 9 laptop. It is truly thin and lightweight, less than 1inch thick and only is 1.3kg. Filled to the brim with the newest technology paired with a very sleek design, it is definitely something to look out for. Just to tease your senses a little, it is fitted with a 2nd gen intel core, Windows 7, Backlit keyboard, 4 GB ram and even  the new Flash Hard Disk. Which is the fastest hard disk around now.
Look out for the review for the laptop. That would be coming up soon.

Also with the launch, Samsung launched their new line of HD monitors. The hottest out of the oven is the SA 950. How hot is it? Well from the design itself, you can tell that its different. What's so special you ask?

Well it has Full HD, 2D and 3D viewing, Eco light sensors and the part I like the most, a build in hub for wireless connectivity. More will be explained in the next post but for now, this is it.

All for now, YJ

My Samsung GalaxyS Review

Okay. For anyone interested in the GS, I'm pretty sure you already know, its either this or the iPhone 4. For malaysians that is. I know there are like Droids and Evos overseas but since we don't have that option here...like that la..sad case

Anyways, I recently got the GS and before I got it, I was forced to choose between the 2 and after a lot of research and reviews and people's opinions I got the GS instead.

Both phones are very evenly matched. In some areas, one would have the upper hand but in the end everything evens out. Enough said, here is what I really think should be mentioned about the GS.

• The screen is definitely the brighter one and all but when under direct sunlight, with the brightness at full blast, it is still a little difficult to see. 
• The battery life under normal usage would last about 1 and a half days but if you have a data plan running, it would be less than a day. Bring that charger around. 
• The option of putting the speakers behind is stupid. If you have the phone on its back, sound levels drop by 50%. When you place it screen down first, then it is freaking loud. 
• The phone would lag under multi tasking but of course which phone wouldn't. My sis has the iP4 and it lags as well. So that's even as well. There is a fix for it tho which requires it to be Rooted. 
• The front facing camera is VGA. Which is 1.3mp? For placing so much muscle in this phone, the FF camera would be one of the saddest part of the phone. 
• I thought that the lack of apps would not affect me but after using it for a while, it hit me that the only things that are missing are mostly games. XD
• Made of plastic but luckily high grade plastic which is quick scratch proof, luckily. 

Of course with all the bad, there must be perks to this phone. 

• You get this huge ass screen to yourself, and damn it feels good. HD games and vids. Who wouldn't love it? Plus the Super Amoled screen is more power efficient. 
• You can just drag and drop files without a care in the world or go through all the hells of iTunes. Mount the phone and viola. 
• No need for jailbreaking and unlocking. It is great on stock but if you want a really smooth phone best to Root it. 
• Free apps, most of it at least. Just that they come with ads. But they can be totally ignored.
• The bluetooth connects to everything. I know there are apps for the iPhone for the bluetooth, but for the GS, it is a native feature. Just that remember to set the Appear to devices in the settings. 
• The GS has a back button and menu button. I like it. 
• It has a notification bar from the top with easy access to wifi, bluetooth, GPS, Silent Mode and Auto Rotation. It also allows you to change screen brightness as well. Kinda nifty actually. Quick access. 
• It is notably lighter than the iPhone. Very obvious weight difference.
• General MicroUSB adapter. Since it is more popular these days in the newer phones, definitely a smart move. 

I would have to say, this is a great phone to have for a person who doesn't want the hassles from Apple. If you don't mind it then well pick whichever. Many other options as well with the same 1ghz processor.

My final verdict - If you ignore everything I wrote above, both phones could be called twins. One the bigger one, one the clearer skin complextion one.  Really depends on which you like better. If you don't like to fiddle around, you know the Iphone is easier but if you like to fiddle around, have more control of your phone, more compatibility, pick the SGS.
