Apple Watch officially launched in Malaysia, prices start at RM 1,599

Well, that was a little awkward. I just completed another article about the Apple Watch and here we go again. Anyways, Apple Malaysia has just published the official pricing for all the Apple Watch models. The Apple Watch was announced in March last year and has since then risen up to become the most popular wearable device despite being late to the game.

The Apple Watch is Apple's first wearable device and the watch comes in three versions, namely the Sport, Standard and Edition. Apple has been listing the Apple Watch as a 'coming soon' device since 2015 and today, the Apple Watch will officially go on sale in Malaysia for a starting price of RM 1,559 for the most basic Apple Watch sport which also includes the limited edition red strap that is specifically for the Chinese New Year celebrations this year. You can read more about that here

But basically, the pricing for the Apple Watch is actually pretty consistent with the ones in the US as you can see in our comparison last year. If you just want to get the downright cheapest Apple Watch for your iPhone (just remember, the Apple Watch will only work with an iPhone), then you can consider getting the Apple Watch sport which goes up to RM 1,849 for the larger 42mm version. If you want the Apple Watch with the sapphire glass screen, that'll weigh you down at least RM 2,499 for the most affordable one and prices will go up to RM 5,079 depending on which strap you choose.

Finally, the most surprising inclusion is the gold plated Apple Watch Edition which starts at a whopping RM 47,000 and goes all the way up to RM 80,000 if you fancy a strap with some 18K gold on it. Additionally, you can pimp up your Apple Watch with some first party bands from Apple which start at RM 249 for the Sport band and goes up to RM 2,049 for the Link bracelet. Check out all band options and prices here and the prices for all the Apple Watch are as below

Fitbit Blaze is a $200 fitness tracker with replaceable bands like the Apple Watch


Apple might be new to the game of wearables but last year alone, the Apple Watch manage to outsell just about every other fitness tracker and smartwatch out there. Fitbit which is the prominent leader in the race is feeling the heat and I think that Apple Watch is the inspiration for the new Fitbit Blaze fitness tracker.

Make no mistake, this is still a fitness tracker deep down and you can't install third party apps or view reply to notifications as the core functionality of the Fitbit Blaze is to track your steps, measure your sleep and track workout. There is a built in HR sensor on the Fitbit Blaze but unlike the Fitbit Surge, the new Blaze does not come with built in GPS.

But what the Fitbit Blaze does come with is a sense of style. The design of Fitbit's new fitness tracker is a lot like those square smartwatches and for the first time ever, Fitbit is also putting a color display onto one of their fitness trackers. Not a fancy OLED display but the Fitbit Blaze does get up to 5 days of battery life with he color LCD display.

In terms of software, you can expect to receive basic notifications on the Fitbit Blaze and the device is compatible with up to 200 iOS, Android and Windows devices. Beyond that, the Blaze also includes integration with FitStar which is an app that provides guided workouts and like all modern Fitbit trackers, the Blaze will also automatically recognize your workout.

For $200, the Fitbit Blaze works exactly like the Fitbit Charge HR but the only difference is in terms of design. Wearing the Blaze doesn't give others the impression that you are wearing a fitness band as the Blaze a sophisticated look and you can even upgrade that look with an optional band that goes up to $130 and ranges from leather straps to metal bands.

The Fitbit Blaze is now available for Pre-order through Fitbit's online store for $199.95 (~ RM 870) and will be available in black, blue and plum.

Google introduces a new version of Google+ with focus on Communities and Collections


Last year, Vic Gundotra tendered his resignation as SVP and his biggest contribution is probably towards Google+ which is Google's very own social network. Since then, there has been reports flying around that Google is planning to split the social network three ways and shut down Google+ for good. But today, the rumor/report can be put aside as Google has just announced a brand new version of Google+



As expected, the new redesign includes a new design that incorporates Material Design elements like the cards and shadows. However, this new redesign seems to be projecting Google+ into a new direction. Google says this new site focuses on communities and collections moreover compared to sharing content with just your friends.

The redesigned Google+ is now available to everyone and you can either opt in to the new design right now or stick with the old one until you feel it's the right time. So, head on over to plus.google.com to experience it.

Apple's new and improved iPhone 6C is reportedly launching in September alongside the iPhone 6S


The master of technology leaks have spoken and according to his sources, Apple will be unveiling the iPhone 6C alongside the iPhone 6S (and 6S Plus) in September. While Apple has not officially sent out invites for the forthcoming iPhone event, reports are already locking down on a September 9 event.

While there is not much leaks on the iPhone 6C, the ones that have surfaced on the internet show the iPhone 6C being a small device. Being sized like the iPhone 5/5S, the new colorful iPhone offering from Apple will definitely be cheaper than the mainstream iPhones but there might be a possibility that Apple will be implementing some pretty impressive hardware into the new "affordable" iPhone.

As we already saw with the new 2015 iPod Touch, Apple managed to cram in the A8 processor from the iPhone 6 into a similarly sized device. That is all that I'm able to share at the moment, stay tuned in the coming weeks ahead as more information regarding Apple's new iPhone(s) emerge.

Nokia transfers their HERE mapping platform to Audi AG, BMW Group and Daimler AG


The news is official now and Nokia has just announced that the automotive industry consortium has come to a agreement to purchase Nokia's existing HERE mapping platform. This isn't something new by a long stretch as there has been quite a lot of reports about possible companies acquiring Nokia's mapping capabilities.

Nokia has agreed to transfer all of their HERE assets to the german automaker consortium which consists of Audi, BWM group and Daimler (Mercedes). This deal will cost the consortium €2.8 billion which is just a fraction of what Nokia paid to acquire navteq back in 2007. Nevertheless, Nokia's CEO and President Rajeev Suri said that this sale is crucial in Nokia's transformation as a company and adds that this will benefit the shareholders moving forward.

Once this deal is closed by Q1 2016, Nokia expects to focus on closing the Alcatel-Luncent deal which will indefinitely make Nokia the key player of network technology. It seems that this parting with Nokia and HERE is for the better as the future of the HERE platform is brighter with their new owners in which the mapping division will be able to further scale their business and fulfill their intent of becoming the leading location company across various industries.
