1. CSL 10101, presumably premium mobile service in Hong Kong, made their mobile browsing ad-supported today. Just like Smartone-Vodafone did to their cheapish $38 browsing plan 2 years ago. I am still trying to get a full grasp of this major development and will post more details in coming days or weeks. It was totally not expected from 1010.
2. Apple has been supposedly shipping mal-manufactured iPhones with rough edges to consumers in Hong Kong since last few weeks via their Taiwanese manufacturer Foxconn’s factory in Shenzhen. More on this later too as I have not yet determined if I was unlucky one – with 3 purchases in last 10 days after losing my iPhone 3G- AND some of some of people I know or if it is widespread.
