DiGi introduces 3G Video Calls for Radio Stations
3G Video Calls are hardly making a hit in Malaysia. To promote this unpopular 3G feature, DiGi introduces 3G Video Calls for Radio Stations.
What this does is to allow DiGi customers to make 3G Video calls to tune in to the station of their choice.
Channels available as follows with the phone numbers:
- *37722 Sinar and XFM
- *37711 Hits FM + THR Raaga
- *37755 Era FM
- *37766 My FM
- *32838 Star News
- *32858 RFM 988 and RED FM
- *32898 Mobile88 Video Uploader
To tune in, just make a video call to the *3XXXX number. All video calls are charged at 30 sen/minute.
In our opinion, this is good if you need to listen to the stations urgently on the go. If you plan to tune in, we suggest tuning to the good old FM or stream online for free via their website.

Frozen Yoghurt appears at Googleplex, Android 2.2 release is near
TechCrunch has spotted a mysteriously covered new figure at Googleplex which is believed to be the next release of the Android OS. For those who didn’t know, Google names each version of Android OS after a food or dessert of sorts. Cupcake was version 1.5, Donut was 1.6 and the latest Eclair is version 2.1. The upcoming 2.2 is called Froyo for Frozen Yoghurt (or Yogurt for US English).
Google wants to tie up Nexus One with telcos, plan to cease online sales
Google has announced on its blog that it will revamp the way they sell the Nexus One. As of now, Nexus One is generally offered online on Google’s website to 4 countries, namely UK, USA, HK and Singapore. Retail wise, it is only available in very selected operators.
We’ve tried the Google Nexus One ourselves and we admit that it is one of the better Android phones out there. However getting a Nexus One isn’t as easy as other Android offerings from Motorola, Sony Ericsson and HTC. The difference here is obviously due to lack of sales channels to distribute Nexus One especially on the retail front.
