From the likes of the gaming community, we would like to do a great YAY! for ingenuity, but a stifled cry for those (like ourselves) who had originally purchased the 20GB Xbox 360…

We like to quote, and unquote this brilliant display of giving what the people want; where as Alan Bowman, GM of Microsoft’s Asia pacific Entertainment & Devices Division (it was a mouthful, even by our waffling standard) remarks;

Apple recently released better than expected Q3 2008 Financial figures, and a couple of hints were dropped:

1. New products will be launched in upcoming months – the general consensus is that this will be a MacBook Pro/Macbook revision with probably a new form factor. There’s still persistent rumors about an Apple ‘Tablet PC’ as well.

2. Steve Jobs mentioned in a conference call that by the end of the year, the iPhone 3G will be available in up to 70 countries, with the next big launch coming in August 22 with 20 additional countries.

This fits quite soundly in the "By September in Singapore" timeframe that we’ve heard from various sources!
