    Scratch proof your iPhone

    I just happened to come across this video in YouTube and found it very interesting.
    So I went to their website to check it out. According to their website, ZAGG’s invisibleSHIELD™ is an exceptionally clear and virtually indestructible film that will protect the iPhone 3G from unsightly scratches. Their exclusive, patented film – with nano-memory™ technology – covers and shields the device. The invisibleSHIELD has its origins in the military, where it was used to protect high-speed helicopter blades from dust, dirt and debris. It is only 0.2 millimeters thick making it the slimmest iPhone 3G skin or iPhone 3G cover of its kind. It is so tough that they back it with a lifetime guarantee. So, if it ever does wear or scratch, they will replace it for free, for the life of the device. And if there is a need to remove the invisibleSHIELD, it comes off clean and leaves no sticky residue. I am already thinking of how to scratch proof my iPhone before owning it.

    SingTel has launched Google phone on 21 Feb. The response has been good and are within expectations, according to SingTel. Google phone is the latest phone from Taiwanese phone maker HTC and is known as the iPhone real rival. It is running on a powerful new operating system, called Android, developed by Google. It has a slide-out qwerty keyboard as opposed to iPhone virtual keyboard. The main selling point is the high-speed Internet browsing capability. Google phone vs iPhone is like Windows vs Macintosh. Each has its own camp of loyal fans who think that one is better than the other. There is no absolute winner. As for me, iPhone is still my dream phone.
