Roam all you like while away from Hong Kong, its unlimited for one set price.
Thinking of taking that iPhone or Blackberry with you on your Easter holiday but not sure you want to deal with the crazy roaming charges? Well 3 takes alot of the guesswork out of the way for you with its flat-rate unlimited data plan.
If you are traveling to Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Thailand, Philippines or Indonesia and don’t want to trek around looking for free wi-fi, 3 will hook you up for unlimited data for HK$138 a day. Yes, it sounds alot when some people pay HK$498 a month for unlimited data access, but you can go look at the NTT DoCoMo site in Japan for data charges and the 3 deal is looking really quite good.
If you are going to China its even cheaper at only HK$68 a day until June 30, 2009. All you have to do is dial *107*1# from your iPhone or Blackberry and for the next 24 hours (HKT) you can get at those Google Maps to find out where you are and surf websites for that restaturant you are looking for. Don’t let crazy roaming fees prevent you from using your iPhone to its fullest with 3. Check out the full details here.
This is Acer’s newest smartphone after they bought Eten.
If you liked the idea of one phone supporting two sim cards from those no-brand phone makers, you’ll love this even more.

Watch Vin Diesel race cars again or Jackie Chan fighting in Japan…again.
You can just feel the Summer creeping up as studio’s try to reach further up to make sure their movies don’t get lost in the shuffle.
This week the 4th Fast and Furious movie and the 20th Jackie Chan movie this decade, hits Hong Kong screens.
The Fast and Furious: As he is released from prison, Brian O’Conner teams up with Dominic Toretto work with the feds to bring down a heroin importer by infiltrating his operation – with lots of fast cars.
Shinjuku Incident (新宿事件): Jackie Chan and Daniel Wu in Tokyo because of a girl they become killers and Jackie sticks to more dramatic action than physical.
Well, if you’re an action fan we guess you can’t really go wrong with either of these movies. Vin Diesel and Paul Walker reunite since the 1st Fast and Furious movie, and while these movies don’t require a brain they are fun car-action movies. The question mark is if Jackie Chan fighting the Yakuza in Japan with that weird bowl-hair cut will make audiences forget The Medallion or The Tuxedo.
These juice packs can more than double the battery life of your iPod Touch:
If you’ve seen the Mophie Juice Pack for the iPhone, you’d probably know that it’s a great thing– looks like a slim case, and tremendously extends the battery life. Now, Mophie added another juice pack to its collection– a juice pack for the 2nd generation iPod Touch.
The Mophie Juice Pack for the iPod Touch does the same thing it did to the iPhone– double the battery life. With this battery pack, you can enjoy up to 42 hours of audio and up to 7 hours of video playback. However, we’d have to say that Mophie must’ve gotten a little something into them, as this battery pack is not as great anymore. Unlike the battery pack for the iPhone, the battery pack for the iPod Touch adds almost an inch to the length of the iPod!
However, if you do not care too much as to the bulkiness of your iPod Touch, this is a great choice to extending the battery life of your iPod. It not only acts as a battery pack, but doubles as a rubber case and has a LED battery status display at the back. You can buy this on Mophie’s website for US$100/HK$800.
This week’s babe is Hong Kong’s newest scandal star!
Jill Vidal (衛詩) is a Canto-pop singer of Chinese, Korean, and Filipino ethnicity. Her twin sister is Janice Vidal, who is also a singer in Hong Kong and Asia. And obviously, if you’ve seen a newspaper or magazine in Hong Kong you know why Jill is the center of attention these past few weeks.
While you can read the details on the arrest below and at many other sites, we thought we’d showcase the hotness that is Jill Vidal and hope they release her from custody soon. That is some street-cred you can’t buy, her label would be crazy to drop here. More photos and videos of Jill below:
