3G in Hong Kong
For those of you who do not know what is 3G, please allow me to give you a simple explaination.
The symbol “3G” stands for “third generation”. It is the 3rd generation of the modern cellular phone technology development. At the present time most of the world’s carriers have already upgraded their cellular technologies to 2.5G.
3G, as it is known, will allow its subscribers fast video quality data transfer either between cellular handsets or between handsets and content providers. With the arrival of 3G technology the types of services available on cellular handsets will greatly increase.
The Japanese telecom providers are already experimenting with 4G and 5G technologies.
Has 3G technology become mature enough to be offered in Hong Kong?
Well this should have been the question asked by the carriers offering this service to the public.
Recently 3 HK launched 3G service to the Hong Kong public, but the services offered are really not for the average subscribers. The handset itself is ugly (personal opinion of course) and expensive. It is not until now, almost one month later, that 3 HK began to offer a less expensive handset to its subscirbers.
Design is an important aspect for new technology adoption. Why doesn’t 3 HK take a lesson from NTT DoCoMo? DoCoMo just launched a new line of 3G phones 900i series, and it has been a great success.
Video Conference
Has video conferencing or Video Chat arrive at the desktop of the average home computer user?
I cannot say that I am a typical home computer user, since I enjoy technology and do my best to stay up to date with them.
Below is a picture of me (in my apartment in Hong Kong) talking to my friend (Mark) at his office in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, using Apple’s iChatAV and our Firewire iSight webcams.
This scene is becoming common among Mac users since Apple’s introduction of iSight and iChatAV. Now Apple’s latest version of iChatAv also allows Mac users (with .Mac accounts) to video chat with AOL users too.

To Remember
Again it has been a while since I made an entry into this weblog.
Holocaust like the one that happened to the Jews is something that should never happen again.
Almost everyone agrees with the above statement, but we still see it in Eastern Europe, Middle East and ASEAN countries.
Why is there so much hatred in the world?
To ignore is to condone. To be ignorant is to allow our mistakes to be repeated.
