KT introduces Identity Android Tablet in Korea
The Samsung Galaxy Tab that’s expected to come to SK Telecom will have a new contender. Its rival KT has its own 7″ Android tablet that also looks awfully similar to the iPad with its aluminium construction.
The device will be called KT Identity Tab which is powered by a 1GHz processor, 8GB of memory, DMB TV tuner and a 3 Megapixel Camera. It is said to be priced at 300,000 Korean Won (approx RM789) which will go head on against its rival Samsung Galaxy Tab.
Koreans are previously labeled as copycats in the automobile industry and now this might be regarded as carbon copy of an iPad.

Sony Ericsson UK says Xperia X10 to get Android 2.1 in September
Sony Ericsson has been lagging behind with Android versions as it continues to run on Android 1.6. This might come as a pleasant update as Sony Ericsson UK had tweeted that Android 2.1 upgrade is due to be released by end of September.
Sure Android 2.1 is nothing to shout about considering most devices are shifting to Android 2.2 Froyo as we speak. However having Android 2.1 gives Sony Ericsson Xperias more access to apps that runs on Android 2.0 and above. We have no idea whether this will be pushed out to all Xperias worldwide or exclusively to UK handsets first.
Well, it is better late than never.
Celcom Axiata to probe privacy breach allegation
Yesterday a CEO of a college in Terengganu had filed a RM20 mil (approx US$6.3 mil) suit against a “telco” for allegedly releasing contents of her SMS and audio recordings of phone calls. Looks like the alleged telco is none other than Celcom which issued a statement to the press yesterday.
According to Celcom Axiata, they treat privacy very seriously and they uphold strict policies to ensure the privacy of its subscribers are always protected. Its Chief Operating Officer Adlan Ahmad Tajudin said that such allegation by Noor Haslina is very serious but they have not been given much details of the suit therefore there was no basis to the allegation made at the moment.
He stressed that Celcom values and respect the rights of its subscribers and privacy & confidentiality of information is their top most priority. He also added if Celcom finds that the allegation was made without basis after its investigations, they will not hesitate to take necessary action including libel and abuse of court process.
According to the report by The Sun, Noor Haslina said she had made a police report on March 14. However her attempt to seek for solution from the telco was apparently ignored, which prompted her to take further action.
As mentioned earlier, the college CEO received a package at her office containing 9 pages of SMS exchanges and a USB flash drive containing audio recording of her conversation. To have such communication details obtained by unknown individuals is simply outrageous. If it can happen to her, it is possiblt that it could happen to anyone of us.
U Mobile Merdeka FAIL
Looks like somebody lost count of how many years we’ve become independent.
Happy Merdeka Malaysia!
