Daily Jots @ d2zone.netMy jots and almost everything else under the sun

Ok, so now the petrol price have been lowered (again) to RM2.30 per litre. Will be price of the goods go down too? That is what most Malaysians are thinking about and hoping that the Government would help in reducing the price of goods.

Question is, will this ever a problem if the Government didn’t raise the petrol price up so high early this year? I think they are too quick in making their decisions in increasing the petrol price earlier. It was the wrong move. Now all the Rakyat are suffering, not just with the petrol price, but also the sudden increment of consumer goods.

Now, they (the Government) are practically begging the suppliers to lower the price of goods. That would be difficult during these times of economic slowdown. If there ever going to be a price reduce in consumer goods, it won’t be now or anytime soon. Unless the Government can lower the petrol price to at least RM2.00 per litre. That may help. But we won’t know for sure.

And yeah…I’m still complaining about the petrol price until now. Aren’t you all?

I read in the news today that the oil price have dropped to below USD$90 per barrel.

When will the Government reduce further for the price of petrol in Malaysia? Can it be less or around RM2.00 per litre now?

*hmmm…*

Which would you choose between these two:

iPhone or iPod Touch?

I’m directing this to fellow Malaysians since iPhone is NOT officially available in Malaysia, but iPod Touch is.

My point? I’ve come across friends and people who owns the iPhone, obviously the “cracked” version. But why would they spent lots of money on something that doesn’t really work to its 100% capability?

Well, they obviously want to have the coolest gadget to-date, with all its bells and whistles like built-in WiFi and 3G for web surfing, music player, video player, complete organizer, photo storage, cool games and many more. But us Malaysians don’t really get 100% of its functionality. Okay, so the phone and sms function works too, but I understand that it’s completely unreliable due to the device being “cracked”.

If you like all the bells and whistles that comes with it, why not invest on the cheaper iPod Touch instead? It is fully functional, fully supported by Apple Malaysia and all the things in iPhone are inside the iPod Touch too, minus the phone function.

If I were to choose between the two, I’d choose the iPod Touch. I already have a phone to do all the calling and smses. I just need a gadget to keep and play all my multimedia files, games, photos, to use as a PIM (Personal Information Manager or better known as organizer), browse the web with its built-in WiFi, plus I can download all the cool and latest apps directly from Apple Store via iTunes or directly from the device itself.

Bottom line is, at least I know that the iPod Touch is 100% fully functional, and cheaper too. I still don’t see why some people are willing to spend on something that is not fully functional.

I guess it’s the coolness of owning it.
