    Rumours: ASUS ZenPad 8 pic and tech specs appear

    We previously reported on the ASUS ZenPad 7 but now pics and tech specs of the ASUS ZenPad 8 have also appeared. Rumoured to be coming at Computex 2015 next week the ZenPad 7 is rumoured to have a 7-inch display with 600 x 1024 pixel resolution. However, the ZenPad 8 reportedly may have an 8-inch display with 1536 x 2048 pixel resolutions. Quite obviously, the ZenPad 8 is likely meant to rival the Apple iPad mini with Retina Display and probably will be a bit more expensive. Since the ZenPad 7 is rumoured to come with an Intel Atom x3 processor it makes more sense for the ZenPad 8 to also come with an Intel Atom x3 processor as well, but it will likely be higher clocked and come with 3G or 4G LTE connectivity. No Malaysia release dates or pricing details yet, but the ZenPad 7 is rumoured to come at $160 (RM579). We shouldn't have to wait too long to find out, so stay tuned for more developments.

  • Apple announces iOS 8

    Apple announces iOS 8

    Apple recently made several announcements at this year's WWDC 2014 and one of the biggest was that of iOS 8, the latest version of Apple's mobile operating system. Powering your Apple iPhones and iPads, iOS 8 brings a number of innovations to the fore including an improved Health hub app, a more useful Siri, notifications that you can take action on and widgets. Other notable features include the addition of a new predictive and learning QuickType keyboard along with support for third-party keyboards so you can eventually download SwiftKey or other onscreen keyboards if you don't like the new QuickType. Other new features of note include Family Sharing where you can share media with family, better integration with iCloud Drive for more storage on the Internet and Spotlight which works like a combination of the search on Windows 8 and Google Now. Improved Maps and other features round off the new additions.

  • Apple's Red Friday sale is on for one day, discounts for iPad Air and more!

    Apple's Red Friday sale is on for one day, discounts for iPad Air and more!

    We mentioned this happening earlier but Apple's Red Friday one-day sale has started. As expected the discounts aren't really that high, but they are a good incentive to get a new Apple product. That's right, rather than sell old products for cheap, the Apple Malaysia Store are selling mostly new and current Apple products like the Apple iPad Air and iPad mini with Retina Display. The more notable ones you can see below but for more information go check out the Apple Malaysia store site.

  • Apple Malaysia to hold special online Red Friday sale on 10 January 2014

    Apple Malaysia to hold special online Red Friday sale on 10 January 2014

    The Apple Malaysia store will be holding a special Red Friday one-day shopping event on 10 January 2014 (this Friday). So far Apple hasn't said what discounts are available or how much but they have said that purchases over RM250 will get free shipping. The one-day sale should start as the clock ticks over to 12.01am at midnight on Thursday. You can however expect 2 things, 1) things will go fast, so if you have the opportunity (and more importantly money) then get it quick, and 2) expect the Apple Malaysia store to get slow as users flood the site. We're guessing the Apple iPad Air, iPad mini with Retina Display, iPhone 5S, iPhone 5C, Apple TV, iPod nano, iPod Touch, Macbook Air, iMac and MacBook Pro will be the ones to get the discounts as the links for these products have been changed to red just like the text of the advertisement. Accessories that may get the same treatment include those for the iPhone 5S, iPad mini and iPad Air.

  • Goldgenie covers Apple iPhone 5S with crystal

    Goldgenie covers Apple iPhone 5S with crystal

    Right after they made the 24-carat gold plated Apple iPad Air and Apple iPad mini with Retina Display, Goldgenie have come out with a 24-carat gold plated Apple iPhone 5S almost completely covered in Swarovski Crystals. This new bling covered version is called the Apple iPhone 5S Supernova with the 16GB versions costing RM20225. While it isn't the first time someone has come out with a crystal covered smartphone the sheer number of crystals on the Goldgenie Apple iPhone 5S Supernova is almost too much, but if you like a shiny disco ball smartphone then this is perfect for you. You can get the 32GB version for another RM500 or so and the 64GB for another RM1000 or so. As usual, Goldgenie will also include a nicely laquered Cherry Oak wooden box to put the bling encrusted gold Supernova Apple iPhone. Check out the pics for yourself in the article.

    The Apple iPad mini is the first generation 7.9-inch tablet from Apple while the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 is the official next generation tablet after the first Samsung Galaxy Tab (despite there being several other tablets that came directly after the first Galaxy Tab).
