Review: Creative ZiiSound D5
At at least half the width and height of most notable premium iPod speakers, the Creative ZiiSound D5 is a physical dwarf among it’s peers, and quite possibly a welcome one. Where the key turns the lock though, you would think one purchases speakers with sound quality as their primary factor (although there’s always that [...]

65Bits #180: We Love To Queue
We are skipping a few episodes to catch up with our regular episode releases, so bear with us until our little hamster has caught up. On the mobile front for this week (Week of 31st July or 1st August), we talk about the new HTC Sense that HTC Desire will be getting soon with the Froyo update, as well as HP (after being a huge Windows supporter) will not make any Windows Phone 7 devices. Furthermore, Apple is patenting their mobile apps ideas. Being Singaporeans, we love to queue. Tech65 covered 2 launches, the Starcraft 2 launch and the iPhone 4 launch. We talk about these launches, and some information regarding the products themselves.
