Wish list

Posted by Kent

This is my own short wish list of the things I would love to have. Nothing are the must-have but would be nice to have them in my pocket.

iPhone 4

With multitasking not available on 3G and HD-Video recording capability on iPhone 4, I want an iPhone 4 now badly.

Helium Boombuds Headphone HD-440

My Sony in-ear headphone is getting old and doesn’t have the mic built-in that makes me look so weird while I was on the phone with the headphone. This one comes completely compatible with all versions of iPhone, and with extra bass and inline controller.

Cost: $24.99CA

[update] I bought the headphone eventually but most of the time I keep it in my backpack as a backup when I need for a phone conversation on the road. I found the sound quality is quite plain when used for listening the music. Because of that, I purchased another headset, Panasonic RP-HJE300, which works awesome.

X2 Football

As a long time soccer fan and EA FIFA game player, I had been waiting so long for a soccer game like this on my iPhone. I had hoped EA would come up something like this earlier but this Europe-based game company has beaten EA this time. Right now, I am only playing the lite version which only has training and penalty shootout mode to play with but I am still deeply hooked.

Cost: $6.99US

[update] I purchased this app a while back when it was on sale only at $0.99. Now, this is probably the most used app on my iPhone after Email, Safari. Can’t wait to buy the next version.
