\n17th April 2011: PIKOM PC Fair 2011, down at the KLCC Convention Center.<\/p>\n


\nBut first, we had a Teh Tarik session about Sony Alpha cameras where we noticed the table next to us was having a Teh Tarik session about the Nokia N8! Yes, they fell like dominoes a few times.<\/p>\n


\nLoads of cool gadgets on sale!<\/p>\n


\nThere were also loads of cheap Android tablets running on modified Android 2.2, with virtual keys for Home, Menu and Back at the top row.<\/p>\n

In comparison, Android 3.0 Honeycomb, the proper tablet OS, has the virtual keys on the bottom.<\/p>\n


\nGarmin show booth girls.<\/p>\n


\nInterestingly, a Garmin pedometer! They might as well make a bicycle mount and use the Garmin Asus A50 with its GPS software instead.<\/p>\n


\nY’know, because Albert is so cool they just mosey up to me.<\/p>\n


\nMore cheapo Android 2.2 tablets! The right one has a iPad ripoff button. Ugh. The keyboard doesn’t even have the full set of Android keys! I’ve seen much better Bluetooth keyboards.<\/p>\n


\nIt seems now that antivirus vendors go all out on the girls.<\/p>\n


\nBut can any be as slim as the Sony Ericsson Arc?<\/p>\n


\nShe projects a wonderful smile.<\/p>\n


\nAnd this is a cheapo tablet being plugged via HDMI. Any and every screen can be mirrored to a HD TV on Android! You just have to have the port.<\/p>\n


\nThis LG Optimus 2X, has the HDMI output in the form of a Micro HDMI Type-D port.<\/p>\n


\nOutside.<\/p>\n


\nEat that, Toshiba Thrive!<\/p>\n


\nAn alternative to having physical buttons on the front, would be to put them on the side. Though I think Home was the iPad-style button on the front.<\/p>\n


\n“Are you done with the geeking already?<\/i>”<\/p>\n


\n“Yes, I say.<\/i>”<\/p>\n
