Yes you heard that right, the first Google phone is out and its in the form of the T-Mobile G1 or what for us over here in Asia will come to know as the HTC Dream. Unfortunately we won’t be seeing the unit in our shores anytime soon as shipping for units in the US only starts on 22 October. However don’t get depressed considering it IS a HTC made phone it will reach our shores eventually.
Read on for the full press release which details the various things you can expect from it.

Word from the Giz is that Canon USA just announced their PowerShot G10, successor to the now seriously old G9. Unsurprisingly, the spec list is rather substantial; DIGIC 4 processor, 28mm wide-angle lens, RAW mode, 5x optical zoom, 14.7 megapixels and a 3-inch LCD. As of now, still no official word from Canon Singapore, but the US release lists the G10 as having a MSRP of about US$499.
On a more personal level, I’m on the hunt for a new digital camera, but contemplating between going for a regular compact, or right on to a proper DSLR. Either that, or go for something in between, like the G10, or even Panasonic’s tasty Lumix LX3. Given that i’m probably going to restrict the budget to give or take S$1000, my options arent going to be very extensive. Food for thought, no?

To the occasional 1-2 visitors that bump into this site and wonder WTH its all about, it’s about time that I got off my ass and did something about it.
In brief, RovinGeek is a collaboration of four individuals; friends who have a passion for technology that is mobile, and want to share that passion with you. All four of us have spent time in tech journalism; about 20 odd years worth combined; currently one is off doing PR, while the other three continue to thrash it out, whether online or offline. This is where we’ll post our views on the industry, the products of said industry and everything else in between.
