The iVirus

Irrespective of whether you like to eat Apple or not, it is undeniable that iVirus is spreading faster than we could imagine in Malaysia.

The incredible Apple that made the world go wild!

And it all started with the incredible offer from telcos for iPhone 4. Although it's not as cheap as other countries but we could now own i4 with just RM990 on average. RM990 for a RM2400 DREAM PHONE of many, that's a freaking value for money deal!



What's even scarier is once you are on iOS, you'll either HATE IT or LOVE IT (well, most people love it) and get so use to it that every next gadgets that you want to own must be on Mac OS! That's the iVirus I'm talking about!

I used to love Google products due to the FREEDOM of the software. It is created based on the open source LINUX and offered free to the public which means you could pimp your phone in any ways you like without any cost! Any if you are one of those who like to customize your phone, the possibilities are limitless!

On the other hand, Mac OS / iOS is all controlled by Apple. It is all uniform across all platforms. And I think the worst thing is you can't even do a simple USB plug and transfer file between gadgets as everything has to sync through iTunes. Troublesome!

But every little thing that Apple improvise on its gadgets has made it so unique and special. What's great of Apple is that it didn't invent any gadgets, none! Instead, it improvises, improves, innovates and makes those little changes that count. For example, the multi touch gesture, the dashboard, the dock, the expose, everything little things! It gives you the experience that you once you use a Mac, you'll never want others. Pretty strong virus!

Apart from the OS, the design is another aspect that iVirus spreads so fast. Just one word COOL, that's the feel that it creates. On so many review of gadgets, Apple products might lose out on some performance or specs but in terms of design it never loses and it always gives that WOW effect That's what current market buys into anyway, Style.

An iMac - isn't it awesome??


Apple has created history from mp3 player (iPod) -> PC (iMac) -> laptops (MacBook) -> smartphone (iPhone) -> netbook (MacBook Air) -> tablets (iPad). So what's next? Will it venture into cameras? Camcorders? Who knows? Let's see what other surprises can Apple introduce to the world in the near future!

Last but not least, if you are like me, infected by iVirus, LIKE this! ;)
