Apple TV, what's the point of having it?

People who live in Asia are a bit disappointed by the fact that we're not going to have any iTunes store in Asia. They've got the new  TV out and I am rather shocked to find out that the Hong Kong Store also has it. What's the frigging point? Seriously, if we can't get any video content in Hong Kong from the online store. How many non-tech savvy people will actually undergo the process of transforming their DVDs into the  TV format?

If Apple Inc. wants to do better business in markets like Hong Kong & Singapore. They shouldn't treat people in Asia as pirates. There are quite many people in Hong Kong own Apple products. As far as I know, there are more and more people owning Mac systems. iPods are hugely successful in Hong Kong. They can tap into a big market quite easily. People like me are sick and tired of the TV programs we can get locally. We want to have more varieties. People at Apple should reconsider what they're offering to the rest of the world.

Accessorise your iPod in HongKong

If you want to accessorise your iPod(s), there is no where better than Hong Kong. I just bought a crystal case for my iPod Nano 1G. It cost HK$25, which is about US$3.20. If you want to buy a remote for your iPod, there is a wide range of choice for you to choose from. They cost about HK$45-60 (US$5.7 - 7.7). One thing for sure is that these accessores don't have any "Made for iPod" logo. The manufacturers are not bothered about paying Apple for making iPod accessories. Just go to one of the many computer malls in Hongkong and search them for yourself.

Yahoo! Knowledge

Even for websites like Yahoo! HongKong, they are not aware of the fact that there are browers other than MSIE. I have to use Opera instead to read the content of their "knowledge".

Welcome to my blog.

This is a blog to try to record my experience as a Mac user in a M$ dominated city like Hong Kong, where Mac users are perceived as "too high class" or second-class citizen when it comes to IT support.
