theITChannel Podcast is 1 year old and we are still growing strong. We started on Earth Hour in 2009 and we celebrated our very first anniversary this Earth Hour. We have recorded over 70 hours chatter among us and if you download every episode and play them, you can drive from Singapore to Vietnam and we would still be talking. We would also like to appreciate all you listeners and thanx for your continued support.
This week we covered the Malaysian Unifi Triple Play Service from Telekom Malaysia and how it will affect Malaysia’s broadband usage and at the same time provide some competition to Astro with their IPTV service. Telekom being the monopoly in Malaysia, there isn’t really any competition for a triple play service.
We also talked about the impending iPad shipping and how we can get one here in Asia. We wonder why is Apple making it so difficult for asians to get any of these new tech. Actually almost every company does that to us. Well I hope we develop something in asia that we will not ship to the US until a later date. Go Japan!
The biggest issues or complains users make in most smart phones today is the issue of Multi-Tasking. It’s also a fine balance between functionality and battery life. We have identified situations where we need multi-tasking and when we do not need them the question remains, do we truly need it on a mobile device and should it function like a desktop multi-tasking?
We then talked about Twestival in Singapore. An Amazing event and support from the social network/media community.

This week we talked about location based apps or location based games like FourSquare and Gowalla. It can be used in a myriad of ways from a gaming system to a location discovery system. Whatever is your motives of using a location based apps, this is definitely something that is up and coming and it could be as big as twitter in the coming months.

We are back with a spotty bunch of tech geeks rummaging the lives of other tech blogs and news and bring you the local flavor of what we think about the personal technology we use and abuse everyday.
With a Andrew Kok, Sherwin Loh and Toh this week we mainly covered news stories about Apple. Can’t really help it when they are all over the news last week. If you are up for it, this is a great round up for last week’s news.

Recording with the 3 of us (Sheldon, Toh and Myself) in KL and Sherwin in Singapore. Missing Andrew this week. We rambled on a few things today about the Nokia N900 which recently had a local bloggers launch. Will it fly? Will it not? [Correction: I mention it is capacitive, it is actually resistive and not capacitive]
The competition is heating up between the 3 consumer giants in the likes of Microsoft, Google and Apple. With Apple having an arsenal of gadgets that wows us, Microsoft and Google is trailing not too far away in terms of the mobile gadgets race to gain market share but apple’s ancillary army of developers and apps is definitely something no other company can rival at the moment. How long will the dominance last?
With the underdog JooJoo delaying their launch date, one wonders if the company can survive the tsunami that is inevitable and this time from top 3 IT fault lines.
We lightly touch on politician’s gripe on Open Source being the Enemy of the State. Wonder who paid them to do this…

1. The State of Mobile Phones and why we are all obsessed with the next iPhone Killer.
2. Apple might be bringing iPhone OS to other devices
3. What is steam and what does it mean when it comes to the Apple Mac OSX
