Looks like mobile tech is king for 2009 as more and more mobile users are saying cutting edge features in their devices is top priority.
A report from Nielsen reveals Mobile Internet in Malaysia is set to surge with more than half a million regular users currently, and more subscribers setting their sights on this ‘must-have’ technology feature for their next mobile phone.

With the new latitude, it is now possible to find a lunch/dinner companion or simply have fun stalking your friends around. This is very much like the typical Friend Finder service you get from our Telcos.
Obviously privacy is an issue here and it is good to know that Google Latitude allows privacy settings that limit city level locations or block specific friends from viewing. Of course, you would need to authorise who would be able to locate you. Read the rest of this entry »
