Fast payday loans For Every One

Rumors of an upcoming iPad sporting a similar design as the iPad mini go as far back as late January this year, when our reliable buddies at 9to5Mac shared some clear images of a leaked chassis (check them out at the “More Coverage” link below). This was followed by an alleged picture of the front panel sent out around previously this month. However as before, cases for this unreleased “iPad 5″ have likewise been making the rounds in China, and we’ve handled to get our hands on one at the Hong Kong Electronic devices Fair earlier today. It coincides old tale according to a staff at the booth: the case is based upon a leaked mold. Oops!

Compared with a similar case made for the 2 latest generations of the bigger iPad, this case again suggests a slimmer and narrower iPad is in the works, which would suggest that this mysterious tablet is most likely to have the exact same display size however thinner left and right-side bezels– just like the iPad mini. Similarly, the straighter edges support 9to5Mac’s earlier leakage of the iPad mini-like body. Let’s simply hope that Apple will still have a couple of shocks up its sleeves then, eh?

Xiaomi preps Hong Kong and Taiwan launch, recruiting early users on Facebook

We knew Xiaomi’s keen to bring its phones into the European market, but prior to taking that long-haul flight, the Chinese company is visiting make a couple of stops in Asia. According to the latest updates on the company’s Twitter feed and a freshly-made Facebook team (under “Xiaomi Asia”), the Xiaomi Phone 2 will be striking Hong Kong and Taiwan “in the near future,” and people staying in those two regions could get in a draw for a chance to become a guinea porker assistance check the phone’s localized MIUI ROM (in typical Chinese, normally) ahead of launch. CEO Bouquet Jun had actually formerly specified that his business would broaden into Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore by the end of this year, however due to the frustrating demand of Qualcomm’s 28nm chipsets throughout the year, it’s extremely unlikely that Xiaomi can understand its original plan in time. Regardless, from what we understand, Xiaomi could partner with Chunghwa Telecom to offer the Xiaomi Phone 2 in Taiwan, whereas in Hong Kong it might use the customary online direct sale design to begin with– unlike Meizu who has a physical store in the city, along with a partnership with local carrier PCCW. Now, how about a full schedule for your world domination, Mr. Bouquet?

Lytro light field camera on pool cue

Lytro isn’t really done expanding the usefulness of its light field camera simply since we have manual controls. Yet another update due by the end of the year will make the most of that focus-independent sensor to permit a parallax-based 3D effect in photos: invoke a ‘full’ focus in assessing tries and you can begin poking around the scene in a restricted way without having ever before touched a dual-sensor camera. Suitably, we’re also getting support for examining photos on 3D screens and Televisions that emphasize the added depth. The promised functions come hand-in-hand with Lytro’s immediate accessibility in Hong Kong, where 8GB blue and gray cameras are offering for $ 3,888 HKD ($ 502 US) and the 16GB red design chooses $ 4,688 HKD ($ 605). Look into our Chinese staff’s eyes-on appearance at the parallax effect in a video after the break.

Liquipel launches retail store in Hong Kong, spreads the hydrophobia for gadgets

Liquipel launches retail store in Hong Kong, spreads the waterproof love

Over the years we’ve come across many hydrophobic coating technologies aimed at electronics, but sadly, none of those were made directly available to consumers. The closest one was Nokia’s nanocoating demonstration we saw last October, though the company recently said to us that it’s still “currently a research project,” and it never mentioned plans to offer a service to treat existing devices. On the other hand, Californian startup Liquipel recently opened its first Hong Kong retail store, making it the second Liquipel service center globally after the one located at the Santa Ana headquarters. Folks in the area can simply call up to make an appointment, and then head over with their phones or tablets to get the nanocoating treatment. So how does this funky technology work? How does it cover both the inside and the outside of gadgets? And is Liquipel’s offering any better than its rivals? Read on to find out.

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon pricing spotted in Hong Kong

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon pricing spotted in Hong Kong

Lenovo floated the ThinkPad X1 Carbon past us in Could without so much as a whisper of what the light in weight Ultrabook’s cost would certainly be. The company doesn’t mind shouting it out in just what looks to be a Hong Kong back-to-school promotion flyer, though. As long as the Newsmth.net post represents the final rates, local residents can generally anticipate to pay about HK$ 12,880 ($ 1,660 US) for an X1 Carbon with a 1.7 GHz Core i5, 4GB of RAM and a 128GB SSD. That’s rather the premium if you contrast it directly to what we see in the US for a PC like the Samsung Series 9, although it’s tricky to advise if costs will certainly be equal on the other side of the Pacific: there’s no sales tax in Hong Kong, amongst additional factors. Even if the cost differs by the time of the United States launch later on this summertime, students in the city are already getting a rebate to HK$ 9,180 ($ 1,184) that recommends at least some wiggle space if competitors among Ultrabooks grows specifically crazy.

Apple opens iTunes Store in Hong Kong, Taiwan and 10 other Asia-Pacific territories

Apple opens iTunes Store in Hong Kong, Taiwan and 10 other AsiaPacific countries

Several Apple supporters on the contrary side of the Pacific from Cupertino haven’t had much of a choice to go shopping from iTunes, even though they have actually had the Application Shop for some time. There’s now a much better sense of balance: Apple merely flicked the switch on the iTunes Shop for new music and motion pictures in a dozen countries and territories around the Asia-Pacific area. The company singles out our own Richard Lai’s Hong Kong along with Singapore and Taiwan, but we would certainly be remiss if we didn’t discuss that Brunei, Cambodia, Laos, Macau, Malaysia, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam are additionally getting the media catalogs, that include local content along with the worldwide favorites. It’s a full catch-up also, with iTunes in the Cloud re-downloads and iTunes Match subscriptions accessible in every new nation. If you’re a significant Andy Lau fan but desired his albums from the most iPhone-friendly shop possible, the wait is over.

Panasonic Lumix GF5 accidentally leaked by Hong Kong spokesperson?

Frequent social networkers will tell you that Instagram’s usually plastered with food photos and self-portraits, so we were quite surprised to see a product leak over there. After some careful inspection, we’re pretty certain that the above picture shows a legit Panasonic Lumix GF5, which from this angle bears much resemblance to the GF3 bar the grip. To add credibility here, the uploader is none other than Hong Kong celebrity Angelababy who happens to be the brand ambassador for Panny (oopsie!). Unsurprisingly, the twee model has already removed the offending picture from her account, but the direct image link still works.

You may be wondering: shouldn’t this Micro Four Thirds camera be the GF4 after the current GF3? Well, much like Chinese superstition, Japan also prefers to steer clear of the number 4 as it sounds the same as “death” in Japanese. For instance: there was no Lumix LX4 before the LX5. As for specs, Chinese website Nphoto reported earlier this month that the GF5 will also feature a 12-megapixel sensor but with a better signal-to-noise ratio and topping at ISO 12800, while on the back it’ll have a much sharper LCD with 920k dots (instead of just 460k on the GF3). Judging by the looks of things it shouldn’t be long before we see Angelababy presenting this new camera for real — let’s just hope that she gets to keep her job.

New iPad shows up in Hong Kong, teases with sample photos and video clip

Looks like Vietnam ain’t the only place that got an early taste of the new iPad, which is due out this Friday. Hong Kong magazine PCM just informed us that it got hold of a 4G flavor of Apple’s latest tablet, courtesy of a very mysterious person (especially considering the 4G version isn’t yet available in this region). Within the little time it spent with the new iPad, PCM managed to do plenty of comparisons with the tablet’s predecessor, particularly with their camera and graphics performance. While pretty much everything’s been beefed up, PCM claims that the new lens isn’t as wide as before, while also noting that the extra 50g is pretty noticeable — obviously we shall see for ourselves on Friday. Hands-on video and sample video clip embedded after the break, and head on over to the source link for more comparison shots.
