My friend bought his new E180 ego a few days ago from their airport branch. Here is what I know about it:

• It’ll support the new 14.4 network speed.
• It has 2 slots: 1 for the simcard and the other is for a mini SD card (up to 8 gb)
• It costs KD45 if you already have a data line, and KD35 for the new subscribers.
• It is much smaller and lighter than the one I’m using now (1st generation).
• Better upload rate even on existing speeds.
• It has a new revamped built-in software for both windows and Macs. Plug and play sort of thing. (Finally!)

I know some people have been waiting for the official release for a while now. Download it HERE.

Thanks Taymoor.

Ali just spotted an elevator parking near Villa Fairoz.

It was actually under testing and not officially launched. I remembered i saw this one when i was in Tokyo in 2004 and it took us 4 years to get this technology to Kuwait. I think a 4 years lag is not that much looking at the gap in technology between Kuwait and Japan

Thanks Ali

UPDATE:

Ali also capture it in motion .. Thanks again

Aloo Sahmek is an interesting idea that’ll come in handy if you were in a hurry and wanted to know about a certain stock. You’d just have to call them and you’ll get a speech recognition machine that’ll tell you all the info you need about your stock e.g. ask price, bid price and last traded deal price.

My friend just got the Epson p6000 and was showing it to me the other day. It’s a multimedia storage and viewing device with 80GB harddisk. At first I wasn’t sure what to use it for, but after playing around with it, I thought it’ll be a very good thing to carry around in the camera bag. You know, it’d come in handy at those times when you’ve just finished taking pictures and you want to view them but the laptop isn’t around.

Since i got tons of emails asking me how can they make their BB read and write Arabic and even some send me their Blackberries to put the Arabic fonts into it, I’m deciding to dedicate a post to the way of installing Arabic fonts on your Blackberry to show you how simple it is.. it takes less than 30 seconds!

Here is how it works:

• Connect your Blackberry with your laptop via USB cable.
• Download some files from this site and open the folder.
• You will find a lot of files in this folder search for a file called Arabic.bat and double click it.
• A black window will pop up with a lot of text going on.. just sit back and relax.
• Your Blackberry will reboot a couple of times do not panic. It’s normal procedure
• After the black window goes away, discounect your Blackberry and thats it. Your blackberry now support Arabic

A lot of you guys have been waiting for Xperia A.K.A. X1 to get released in Kuwait and now the wait is over. My friend just got it and sent me the picture above. It’s available in silver in all of the Barak Center branches. It costs KD275.

Their phone # 1-833-777 ext. 123

Thanks Taymoor.

Just got some insider information that Zain will be introducing soon their new internet speed connection which doubles the current speed to 14.4 Mbps. It should give you an average download speed of 1800 kb/s which is more than double the speed of our current one, however it will be more expensive. They told me it will be in KD30’s range and the 7.2 Mbps will cost less but the speed will remain the same. I don’t have any idea if the 14.4 Mbps will be unlimited or limited in bandwidth.

Thanks Ali.

I just placed my order with Amazon which contains the folowing:

Lenses:

Canon EF-S 55-250mm ( I will try this lens for the first time but i read about it a lot of positive comments)

Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro ( This lens is a MUST! )

Sigma 10-20mm ( I tried Yousef’s lens which was AMAZING ! and also i’ve tried Ahmad’s Canon wide angle one but i liked the Sigma one coz it bend the objects less than the Canon plus it cost less.)

Accessories:

Canon Lens Hood

Bounce Diffuser

Canon Remote Switch

Gorillapod SLR-Zoom Flexible Tripod

Anyway i just want to thank Ahmad & Yousef for letting me use their Lenses

A couple of months ago Yousef wrote about a search engine called Yamli. For those who dont know yet whats yamli is, here is an excerpt from his post :

“you don’t have to struggle with the spelling, you can type using ur regular Arabish letters (mIRC letters, like the 3 for 3aba3aal and 7 for 7mar) and it will recognize the letters and turns them into arabic letters. “.

And now google applies this feature in its search engine. CHECK it out.

We went this time without Yousef. We used to go with him almost every year since 1998. He didn’t want to go because we were going early in the morning and returning the same day at night. He wanted to stay atleast for a night. I don’t know why He doesn’t enjoy the exhibition.

Thanks loco.

So Apple’s long awaited event took place this evening around 8pm (our time) and the following are some of the results:

• New revamped macbook pro with many new features.
• New silver macbooks that look exactly like the pro line have been introduced, and dropped the black ones.
• Macbook air. upped the harddisk to 128gb and added a mini display port.
• New led backlit Cinema Display with a magsafe to power notebooks, a 2nd USB port and a display port.

Personally I was most concerned about the new macbook pro line, since I just bought mine 6 months ago, and honestly, I thought I’d be a bit more jealous, but I’m not. I’ve always hated the black keyboard on the Air’s, but then again, I’m really impressed with the new mouse button (now THATS innovation) and the new improved battery life.

To know more about the event in details se ENGADGET’s live feed.

YouTube is entering a new level by adding some action for their videos you can see some of it by clicking HERE, this is what I call creativity!
