Plaza No Comments »

Chiang Mai is one of the most interesting cities in the North of Thailand, if not in the whole Thailand. It used to be the capital of the Kingdom of Lanna, and you can still find some influences of Lanna culture in Chiang Mai nowadays. The city is very popular among tourists and shoppers in Thailand and abroad. It is shoppers and shopaholics paradise. You can buy almost anything in the city and practically everything in Chiang Mai is cheaper that almost anywhere else in the world.

There are a lot of quality products available in the city, like handicrafts, arts and antiques, but also all kinds of electronic products. One of the most popular places for shopping in the city is the famous Night Bazaar, which attracts people from Thailand and abroad. It is a big market full of all kind of interesting products. There are many markets in the city, but there are also very popular and modern shopping malls in the city.

Central Airport Plaza

The Central Airport Plaza shopping mall is located near the Chiang Mai International Airport. It is also not far from the city center. It is ultra modern mall which is very popular with local people. All the usual big brands have their shops here, but there are also a lot of other shops that sell jewelry, electronic appliances and more products.

The mall has very interesting and nice interiors and it is fully air conditioned which is a great thing in a hot country like Thailand. It is a great place to escape from the heat and tumult of the city and relax with a cup of coffee, tea or one of Thai fruit juices. There are also many great restaurants here, with both Thai and international cuisine. There is also an excellent food plaza where the food is delicious, but quite inexpensive.

Another attraction of the mall is very modern and comfortable movie theater where you can enjoy watching both Thai and foreign movies. Some of the movies are also shown in 3D.

Kad Suan Kaew Shopping Mall

The Kad Suan Kaew Shopping Mall is another very popular and modern shopping mall in Chiang Mai. This one is located on 21 Huay Kaew Road. It is also fully air conditioned and it is very popular with young people, but not only. It has very nice Thai decor and as previously described Central Airport Plaza, it is full of all kinds of shops and restaurants. Very good Lotus Pang Suan Kaew Hotel is also located there.

The Promenada Chiang Mai Resort Mall

The Promenada Chiang Mai Resort Mall has not opened yet at the moment of writing. It will open in 2012, but it is already becoming one of the most talked about malls in the city and also in Thailand. It will be a very unique mall, because it will combine an open air shopping in beautiful surroundings with an air conditioned shopping mall. It will be the first resort mall in Thailand and it will most likely become quickly one of the most popular.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (Wi-Fi)

Galaxy Note No Comments »

Samsung’s Galaxy Note 10.1 is a 10-inch Android tablet which includes the pressure-sensitive Wacom stylus technology from the Galaxy Note 5-inch “phablet,” ($ 299.99, 3 stars) but with a large-enough display to actually use it well. 

The Galaxy Note 10.1 is a plastic-backed, 10-inch tablet that’s thin at 8.9mm, but isn’t on the cutting edge. The way the Note 10.1 stands out from other Android tablets is by being built specifically to draw or write on.

The pressure-sensitive “S Pen” is one of the best things about the Galaxy Note, but it’s knocked out by a lack of supporting apps and by the Note’s generally odd shape. On the Note 10.1, the new S Pen—a little thicker, more solid, and able to detect harder pressure on the screen—compels. The Galaxy Note also lacked software that showed off the S Pen. The 10.1, on the other hand, will come with special pen-friendly versions of Adobe Photoshop Touch and Adobe Ideas (which is like Illustrator) and will ship with available drawing apps: Zen Brush and Omni Sketch for adults, and Hello Crayon for kids.

The tablet has good pressure sensitivity, and it’s responsive. There’s none of the lag that so frustrated me when I was trying to test styli on Android tablets recently. The Galaxy Note 10.1 will also probably work with any other Wacom-compatible stylus, Samsung says. That makes it a potential killer tablets for artists who are already in the Wacom ecosystem.

Another new trick: the Note 10.1 has a split-screen option so you can run two apps side by side, in limited cases.

As we saw before on the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus ($ 399, 3.5 stars), Samsung’s U.S. Apps store will highlight apps in the Android Market designed for the tablet, helping to work around the lack of a good list of tablet apps in Google’s store.

Spec-wise the Galaxy Note 10.1 keeps pace. It will come in Wi-Fi-only and AT&T-compatible HSPA+ models (although the company didn’t confirm any U.S. carriers). It has a 1.4GHz dual-core processor, a 3-megapixel camera on the back, and a 2-megapixel camera on the front. There’s an IR emitter so it can work as a TV remote. It runs Android 4.0 and will come in 16, 32, and 64GB models, all with an extra memory card slot. The 7,000-mAh battery will likely run the tablet for long periods.

Interestingly, the 1280-by-800 screen is the same resolution as the much smaller Galaxy Note’s screen, but it’s a lot more usable. Square inches matter. The built-in S Note program spawns a window to the right of your Web browser, so you can take notes while still surfing, for instance.

The Galaxy Note 10.1 will appear in the second quarter of this year, Samsung says. It’ll cost more than the standard Galaxy Tab 10.1 ($ 499, 3.5 stars), so I’m expecting around $ 600 for the Wi-Fi-only model.

Which Console For Online Gaming?

Online Games No Comments »

There are three main contenders you should be looking at Sony PlayStation 3, Microsoft Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii.

Nintendo Wii and Sony PlayStation 3 offers wireless as an option out of the box, if you want to make the Microsoft Xbox 360 wireless you have to buy an extra component. If you don’t want to use wireless or don’t have wireless at home then Ethernet is the way to go. You set the console up pretty much like any network device, you can use DHCP or manually enter IP, DNS etc…

The Sony PlayStation 3 all has the ability to act as a media server, if you not going to use this facility remember to switch it off as it will hog your network bandwidth at home. I didn’t realise this and had my Sony PlayStation 3 connected wirelessly and couldn’t understand why no one else in the household could use wireless while my Sony PlayStation 3 was switched on. After switching off the Network Media Server all was fine.

Broadband is a must for online gaming but it doesn’t have to be the fastest broadband, a basic package is fine. Online gaming is all about the upload speed not really the download. Most UK broadband supplies only offer a 256k upload speed, so if you can find one that beats that it will be better for online gaming.

Nearly all new games offer some kind of online play, some games are purchased just to be played online. Checking the back of the game box should tell you what that game offers. If a game comes out on all 3 systems then it’s nearly identical and sometimes is 100% identical. Each system will have exclusive titles, this means that game will only be on that system.

The most played game online (to date) is Halo 3 on the Microsoft Xbox 360, although it’s a good few years old it is still played a lot. Most games offer ad-dons via downloadable content, this gives the game a whole new lease of life. Things to download could be new levels or new characters. These add-ons are usually charged for.

The Microsoft Xbox 360 has what it called GamerScore, this is your overall score for playing games in the system. You get different awards and points for completing certain levels in a game. Although the score means nothing and it’s just to show your friends how good you are, it is very addictive trying to get the highest GamerScore. The Sony Playstation 3 has Trophies instead of GamerScore and they work in exactly the same way.

You can buy certain titles while online and also download demos of games for FREE. You can also download videos, music videos and movie trailers. On the Microsoft Xbox 360 you can also rent movies online.

The Sony PlayStation 3 and Microsoft Xbox 360 both offer HDMI output for connecting to a HDTV. In the box with the Microsoft Xbox 360 you get a component cable and in the box with the Sony PlayStation 3 you get a standard scart cable. So remember to buy a HDMI cable if you want to go that route. All games that are written for Microsoft Xbox 360 and Sony PlayStation 3 have to be HD compatible to at least 720p in resolution. The Nintendo Wii does not offer any kind of HDMI connection but you can get a resolution of 480p out of it if you buy the correct cable.

Nintendo Wii and Sony PlayStation 3 are FREE to play online and the Microsoft Xbox 360 you have to pay for. You can get a monthly, 3 monthly or 12 month subscription. In the UK the official price off Microsoft for a 12 month subscription costs 39.99 but shop around as there are some good discounts to be had.

Although you have to pay to play on the Microsoft network, you do get what you pay for and out of all 3 consoles the Microsoft Xbox 360 is miles better than the other 2 for online games. The interface is better, the way you communicate with friends is better and it just feels more solid and rounded than the other 2 offerings.

You add friends by sending a invite to them via your console. Microsoft Xbox 360 and Sony PlayStation 3 let you create any nickname to use as your online name but Nintendo Wii gives you a random load of characters to use, also I believe this can change depending on what game your playing.

The best way to make the online experience better is by getting a good friends list together and then your not playing against people who quit all the time while half way through a game to ruining a game by team killing. Over time you can build up a really good friends list. Friends can all join the same party and then chat to each other but actually be playing different games.

Only the Sony PlayStation 3 and Microsoft Xbox 360 allow game chat via headsets. The Microsoft Xbox 360 comes with a headset in the box, this connects to the wireless controller and is pretty good for a FREE headset. The Sony PlayStation 3 can either take a wired headset or a BlueTooth headset (like you would use on your mobile phone). I have so far not found a decent headset for the Sony PlayStation 3 unfortunately. They all seem to hiss and buzz or are too loud. When chatting via the headset it is like being sat next to them and everyone can chime in, so it’s a group game chat not just one to one.
