" we really hope that the egg the ZiiLabs is about to lay will actually turn out to be a new Zii Android smartphone."

Google has found yet another goose that lays the golden eggs, or at least it is starting to look like that for Android. Manufactures are more than eager to jump on the Android train in order to not miss out. During the last few weeks, quite a number of Android smartphones have either been introduced or leaked through non-official channels, and it looks like we are about to see another one. ZiiLabs, part of the renowned Creative Technology, and designer of the striking ZiiEgg, is now going to use the Android platform to dive into mobile telephony and with that thought in mind, it seems only a matter of time before we will get to see a Zii Android smartphone or a ZiiEgg smartphone.

Zii Android smartphone

During the Zii Summit 2009,

the company announced that several new products are in the pipeline. They are said to be a tablet PC, a net book, a portable e-reader and a mobile phone with full Android functionality. It's the latter in particular that we are interested in. According to the latest information, the Zii Android smartphone will feature a so-called ZMS-08 processor, a competitor of the Snapdragon and NVIDIA's Tegra processor.

In addition, the Android smartphone of ZiiLabs is said to feature an ARM Cortex A8 CPU including a clock frequency of 1Ghz and encryption and decryption support of 1080p H.264 video, support for various codecs and 720p H.264 video conference. The specifications mentioned do look impressive at first glance, and we really hope that the egg the ZiiLabs is about to lay will actually turn out to be a new Zii Android smartphone. We will continue to follow the developments around this new Android smartphone!

The difference between a nut and coconut

Dear Runners,

The Nature Society is protesting that we are running through the wildlife reserve. (Please refer to ST forum today http://www.straitsti...ory_448530.html) As you know, Singapore is so small that the only trails belong either to the military or to the National Parks. If they stop us from running through Bukit Timah Reserve, the TNF100 may end up being 10 loops around MacRitchie!!!

An open letter to President of NS Society

yoz Mr. President,

Do you know the difference between a coconut and a nut?...

I am asking because it seems like you don't know what the fruits you were talking? NorthFace is not a mass event like SCSM where you had 50,000 runners roaming your beloved back garden, don't worry that will not happens until hell freeze over or Armageddon which ever comes first. The number of day visitors to BT Nature Reserve are far more then NF, so are they on your hit list too?

Dun be so selfish lah, the nature reserve are for all lovers of nature, if you keep petitioning and have powderful friends up there. Then BT will become a sacred garden for only members of your prestige society!! Better don't let you know that there is another bigger, lagi beautiful garden call MacRitche Park, if not, you petition again, we really must go ho-lan to run trails:))

For your info, we trail runners may like to torture our-self, but event like NF is only a once a year affair. ... OK lah, there is another super "siow" ultra at MR held every last Sunday of December. (MR runners, don't throw stones at me, we run, fly, float or sink together ^_^)

As much as you love the nature, most trail runners if not all also love and respect the nature, of course there will be some who litters along the path indiscriminately, but I think with more trails and education this can be minimized.

Like you say Singapore is small country, lets share whatever limited resources we had, you do your nature study, we run our trails. If one day we ever cross path, we wave and say hello and if you don't mind, you can hug my sweaty body. Peace no War (o_o)

C'est la vie

regards
yours humbly
