I have no idea why isn’t Creative selling this directly to the consumer market right this moment. Based on the specifications, it looks like a tablet with a superior performance, low-powered and rich-feature set that practically everyone would rush to buy. Having a Quad Core 1.5GHz with 2GB memory and 64GB internal storage seems like a killer device to me. Whatever it is, I hope an OEM or ODM picks it up and offers the maximum specs available to this beauty.
Based on a motherboard concept, the ZiiLABS’ JAGUAR reference platform for Android 3.x allows an OEM or ODM to bring to market their own Android 3.X tablets in the shortest possible time. The JAGUAR platforms combine the sleek Industrial Design templates (ID), proven high-speed system design and peripheral modularity required to enable OEMs and their ODM partners to innovate and differentiate critical components such as the LCD display, touch controller, cameras, ID and modem connectivity.

I had the great opportunity to take a few photos (actually quite a whole lot) of the RSAF Open House Aerial Display. Had to borrow a huge zoom lens, but the photos turned out pretty great.
The aerial display is a thrilling and exhilarating 35 minutes showcase of the our RSAF air power at work. It depicts our Island Air Defense, Close Air Support and Joint Operations. It features the F-15SG, F-16C, AH-64D, CH-47D and Super Puma in joint operations with the Army and also the Red Lions Military Free-fall and Fly-Past by SYFC’s DA-40.

Direct from the horse’s mouth, HTC’s CEO, Peter Chou, confirms that HTC will no longer lock the bootloaders on their Android devices. This is great news for the Android community, to once again use HTC’s Android devices to jailbreak and create new ROMs for their devices.
HTC started releasing their devices with locked bootloaders early this year which sparked a myriad of complaints from the Android community, who had always used HTC’s earlier Android devices to hack and create new ROMs for their devices, extending the capabilities, improving battery life and other fixes to achieve more control over their phones.
Today, HTC listened and decided to no longer lock their bootloaders. This follows Sony Ericsson when they announced to the Android community their intention to open up some of their phones and allow unlocking of the bootloader.
It is that time of the year again, where the Republic of Singapore Air Force show you their superb planes, technologies, not to mention the amazing air show display.
