Comparison Samsung Galaxy S vs. iPhone 4

I had share these findings i have:
Design: Samsung Galaxy S is bigger with 4inch screen - iPhone4's 3.5 inch screen. However, Samsung has 480 x 800 pixel resolution while iPhone has 640 x 960. when put side by side, you could see that iPhone4 has a crisper screen resolution. As for design quality, iPhone4 is made like a glass composite materials which adds to its weight making it abit heavier than Samsung. Design win by iPhone4 cause it's mre pocket friendly n offers on hand ease of use.
User Interface: Galaxy S runs Android OS while iPhone4 has iOS 4.0. Both OS offers fluid scrolling n very responsive. Samsung Galaxy offers more customization. Different homescreens where u can put widgets to, similar to HTC.
Multimedia: iPhone4 is a better multimedia device. Screen resolution n built in iPod software has been unrivaled. Note that Galaxy offers DivX compatibility. So for those who fond of downloading DivX videos, they might lean towards Galaxy S more as they don't have to converting their videos.
Camera n Video Quality: it seems that iPhone4 has better image quality compared with Galaxy S but comes to video quality, your choice would have to depend on whether you want to have the option of setting video resolution to HD /VGA. Samsung Galaxy S has that option while iPhone 4 doesn't.
Web Browser, Connectivity: Now for web browser, both Safari n Android browser are two of the best web browsers on mobile phone. Both renders web pages very fast n scrolling is very smooth. Now the deal breaker is whether you want flash or not. Apple has forever closed its doors on Flash for iPhone while Galaxy S will have the option to do so in near future. Connectivity, both mobile phones supports WiFi b/g/n but Samsung added DLNA compatibility to Galaxy S. So if you have a WiFi equipped TV, you can easily stream media from phone to home TV. Both phones also have GPS but iPhone 4 has a lot of turn by turn navigation available on App store while Android mkt is lacking but Android has Google Navigation which is free, at least in the UK n US.
Games n Applications: iPhone 4 has the largest selection of mobile applications. Android, though it doesn't have an extensive collection but best part is most of apps are free on Android mkt.

You really wont lose in whatever phone you choose because developers are now making their most popular iPhone apps available for the Android market as well and if you can't find the exact same app on the Android market, there are plenty of free alternatives available.

Madam Saigon Vietnamese Restaurant

Instead of having Western or Japanese food all the time, why don’t you try Vietnamese food at Madam Saigon Restaurant Liang Seah Street for dinner?

A platter of Spring rolls ($17.90), which is a popular Vietnamese dish, appeared on the table. Luckily, they didn’t disappoint: the semi translucent raw spring rolls went well with the sauce; as for the deep fried ones as agreed always taste good.
The Vietnamese Fried Calamari ($9.50) was very different from the ones that I had before. For one, it wasn’t round and they were broke down into strips, bearing a close resemblance to fries. It was a very addictive snack/appetizer, and we enjoyed it with the light dipping sauce.
Coming back to the Vietnamese Pho ($8.90), its just wasnt authentic. It was hard to pin-point what was missing, as there isnt much vietnamese eateries here nor had i been eaten it for all my lifetime. We just tossed lots of raw beansprouts, mint and squeezed wedges of lime into the Pho.

I had been waiting anxiously for the days to come, so looking forward to this BKK trip. My body n mind just tells me its time to relax! Nt long b4 we started on this tip, there is bad news (bombing! yucks!! Y didn’t end mah?) Its spoil the economy as nos tourists slowed, didn’t the locals notice?
My hubby n I already had a list of what to buy n promises to colleagues for tidbits. Heeahahaha, shld had look up into calendar to avoid the monsoon season.
Although the rain did hamper our spirits abit, we keep our shopping to mostly indoor and freq trad Thai massages. There are lot new stuffs, but also some disappointing happening like buildings being renovate and their nite market no longer interesting.

PS Move

PlayStation Move is a motion controller sys with sensors to detect player's movements n translate into gameplay. Primary remote is abt the size of Nintendo Wii remote /attached MotionPlus combination. Where Move departs from Wii is that Wii detects movement with its built-in accelerometers, pointing (with sensor bar) /detect exact orientation (with addition of MotionPlus), Move can be tracked precisely within real 3D space instead of just inferring relative movement based on your previous position. Most gameplay motions require a full and complete movement on Move - also means interesting things for augmented reality. Of course, for AR you need camera, for Sony it has PlayStation Eye. In fact, Move system is partly based on what the Eye can detect of those cute colored balls at the end of each Move controller, which helps PlayStation know how far away from camera the controller is, and map, say a tennis racket exactly to a user's hand. Each wireless Move controller has the four familiar symbol buttons surrounding a new "Move" button, which generally functions as OK/ Accept command input.

The controller itself is comfortable to hold, contours resting perfectly in our hands. Every button is easy to reach, although the 45-degree counter clockwise twist of command buttons did confuse ppl. Move controller's not just for games -- it can navigate menu by holding down the T button to initiate movement and tilting in direction. Sensitivity can be adjusted. Though not part of any bundles, Sony's also releasing a companion Navigation Controller (also wireless) that you'll be able to wield with your off hand for more traditional analog controls. It's got a joystick in standard position, a directional pad just underneath, as well as additional 'X' n 'O' buttons. Below that is another XMB menu button, on underside are L1 n L2 triggers. But if u already got DualShock 3, no point for this.
The Starter Bundle includes motion controller, required PlayStation Eye camera n Sports Champions. If u're a complete newcomer to PlayStation 3 - or need to slim down yr home theater sys - starter bundle with a DualShock 3 pad n new 320GB PS3. PS3 has something for everyone, be it watching Blu-ray movies, playing the latest games, and now working out while gaming at the same time. But still Sony had a lot to live up to if this was the system to compete with Wii .
