Maxis is having a big price reduction on the iPhone 3GS 8GB. Now it can be yours as low as RM199 on a new i3GS plan which has a monthly commitment fee of RM79/month. There’s only 1 contract duration option of 24 months.
However there’s a few things to take note. the i3GS plan offers 200 minutes which is restricted for Maxis to Maxis calls. This means calls to other networks are charged as extra. Also included is 250MB of data which after exceeding is charged at 5 sen per 10KB. If you plan to take up this RM199 offer on i3GS plan, there’s a RM840 upfront payment required which will be rebated back over 12 months.
If you’re a heavy user which usage more than 250MB, an extra RM21 for iValue 1 will give you 1GB of data and 333 call minutes which can be used to call all networks. However the iPhone 3GS 8GB costs RM800 on 24 months contract on iValue 1. So looks like you gotta pick between cheaper phone price with lower “value” plan or higher value plan with pricier phone.
For more information, head over to Maxis iPhone page.


We just got tipped that Celcom is throwing some offers this weekend at IT Fair which is happening at Midvalley Exhibition Hall. According to Rakyat Biru, they are giving extra discounts of RM200 for the 32GB iPhone 4 and RM100 for the 16GB version of the iPhone 4.
Meanwhile, for those that picked up a BlackBerry Bold 9780, BlackBerry Torch 9800 or BlackBerry Curve 9300 will get 3 months free BlackBerry Service subscription on prepaid.
Thanks Rakyat Biru for the tips!

DiGi has revealed that their already affordable iPhone 4 plans are even more affordable. Now their plans are additional RM5 cheaper as compared to launch. This makes its entry iDiGi 88 costing RM58/month without auto-billing and RM53/month with auto-billing.
For those who are extremely tight, DiGi also offers 36 months installment plan which we wouldn’t recommend especially when a new iPhone is on its way.
For more information, head to DiGi’s iPhone 4 page.
Head after the break for the full plans before and after 1st July 2011.

The screenshot above was provided to us by tipster iVince7. What looks like a legit internal handbook from Apple reveals the launch dates of two key products from the company — Mac OS X Lion and iOS 5. The document reveals that Lion will be released on July 14 and iOS 5 on September 9 7.
The dates are strong indicators of when we can expect two key Apple devices that are overdue for an update. One is the MacBook Air and the other is the next-gen iPhone (one we think will be more of an iPhone 4S update rather than a full-blown revamp).
Of course, we have no way of verifying this so the September 9 7 timeline for the next-gen iPhone release will remain unconfirmed for now but it is interesting to note that at the last WWDC keynote, it was stated that iOS 5 will be publicly available in September.
Another interesting note is that rumours are now going around that the new MacBook Air is expected to go on sale mid-July. The document states that Lion will be released July 14 — pretty close.
Things are indeed getting very interesting. For those of you who’ve been holding out on a smartphone purchase until the new iPhone makes an appearance it looks like September is your month.
Thanks iVince7 for the tip!

The red bird speaker and stand that uses 3.5mm audio jack goes for 49.99 pounds, while the green pig iPhone speaker dock goes for 69.99 pounds. There’s also the black bird speaker and dock that’s able to fit an iPad for 69.99 pounds.

DiGi has finally started to offer the white iPhone 4, after Maxis and Celcom started theirs much earlier. A while back, DiGi was the first to indicate that they are bringing in the iPhone 4 but turns out that they are late for the party. Well like the saying goes, better late than never.
For those who wanted lower commitment and easier to own payment plans with up to 36 months 0% interest installment, DiGi might be something worth considering. If you’re interested, you might want to catch their roadshow at KLCC Centre area from today 11th until 14th June.

Here’s one of the 200 new features that could be making its way out of iOS 5 beta and into your iPhone 4.
Embedded deep inside the Accessibility settings is the LED Flash for Alerts feature. The feature makes use of the LED flash on the iPhone 4 as a notification indicator when there is an incoming call or text message.
Those with iPhone 4 will know that the LED flash is plenty bright, so we don’t recommend switching on this feature if you don’t need it. There is a reason why the option to use the LED flash as a notification indicator is located inside the Accessibility settings. Get the hint.

The WWDC 2011 is over and done with, and while we are hoping that Steve Jobs’ “one more thing” would be a new iPhone — which didn’t happen — his keynote revealed some pretty interesting stuff coming from Apple.
The iOS has been generally unchanged since it was first launched and at the same time Android has been evolving in such a short time span with both smart phone and tablet specific versions. So what’s new with iOS 5? If they are not releasing a brand new iPhone, there better be new features to make their devices appealing for today’s users. The Android platform has been moving in a rapid pace thanks to new hardware as well as custom software innovations by respective manufacturers. Read on as we run through the new key features.
History of Just One More Thing on Dipity.
“Just one more thing…” Like all his devices, Steve Jobs have made these words iconic, the epitome of all his mesmerising presentations. With all that will be presented at the 2011 installment of the WWDC already known attention is now focused on what has not yet been revealed.
So what will be the one more thing at this year’s conference?
The most popular rumour right now is the unveiling of a new iPhone. While Apple has mentioned that the focus of WWDC 2011 will be on software and not hardware, it is almost unthinkable to imagine that a new version of iOS will not accompanied by a new version of the hardware that gave the OS its purpose.
WWDC 2011 will be begin on June 6 running all the way to June 10 in San Francisco.

So we know that the Galaxy S II is coming to town with Maxis. It’s a safe bet to think that the launch will be within this month. So while we wait for the actual launch let’s find out more about this dual-core Sammy that a lot of people have been waiting for.
Check out the video for a very good and detailed comparison of the 8MP camera on the Galaxy S II against the iPhone 4′s 5MP main camera. Some may argue that this is an unfair comparison but we’ll tell you that judging a camera’s performance mainly on its MP count is not really a good idea. You’re not getting the whole picture.
The video looks beyond MP count and goes into details like colour production, saturation and video performance amongst other things. It is well worth six minutes of your time.
