Just about anyone I know is getting or already acquired the latest smartphones. Even Pingsu, the sub-editor on NSTOnline desk is a proud owner of the new IPhone 3Gs, constantly sharing knowledge with our boss, Lokman.
Fauziah is a proud owner of Nokia N97 while Shahrul of Emedia is perpetually on Facebook, thanks to his Blackberry which he got it cheap during Umno General Assembly.
Too cheap that I told him I wouldn't want to be seen with one.
His colleague, Shida owns an OmniaII, a Samsung PDA.
BHOnline staff are flashing their IPhones while NSTOnline had just submitted the requirement for next year's budget.
Me? Am still using the Palm Pro. It has been over a year and yet it is still serving me well.
Even my Dell Inspiron laptop is almost dying. My Palm is still going strong. Can't be anywhere without it. In case, there is an update on Facebook or an important email from the office.
All the excuses to be with my Palm. She sleeps with me. Wake up in the morning and the first thing I do is to check www.nst.com.my. Just not to get overlapping stories when I am in the office.
Then it is Facebook before slowly getting out of bed.
Do I really need a new PDA, smartphone or whatever they call it nowadays? With the latest getting cheaper by the day, I am tempted. But my Palm is serving me well. Holding on to temptation.
But what I really do need now is a new laptop. My Dell's screen is getting hazier and it is only just beyond a year old.
