It seems like Singapore will be getting the Microsoft Surface RT soon. Last month, Microsoft announced that the Surface RT will be available in Singapore in the coming months. That could be this month or next month.

But it seems like Challenger is getting ready for the Surface RT launch in Singapore. Their website now has a top banner for the Microsoft Surface RT. No pricing or actual launch date available on the website. Just product info and specs which most of us already know by now.

Then yesterday, HardwareZone.com posted this photo on their Facebook page. Yes, I know yesterday is April Fools’ Day. But I don’t think this is a joke.

So if everything is true, then the Microsoft Surface RT will be available in Singapore from 6 April 2013. If you are dying to try out the Surface RT, you can visit Challenger Funan on 5 April from 5:30pm.

HTC is expected to announce their latest flagship phone (codename HTC M7) on 19 February 2013 at an event in London. The company recently released a teaser picture with a big red heart implanted on a chip.

We don’t know if the heart has any connection with the new phone that HTC is launching.

The internet is full of rumors regarding the HTC M7. Rumors say that the phone will be called HTC One and comes with a 4.7-inch 1080p display, a 1.7GHz quad-core processor, 2GB RAM and 2,300mAh battery.

The camera is rumored to be a 13 megapixel Ultrapixels camera. Ultrapixels is a special type of sensor that has 3 layers of 4.3 megapixel sensor. This will result in sharper images and more accurate colour reproduction as information found on the 3 layers is processed down to 1 pixel. More information per pixel means better picture.

Well, all these are still rumors. We will find out on 19 February, 11pm Singapore time.

Sony will be having a media event on 20 February 2013 in New York. It seems like the company will be announcing the next Generation PlayStation at the event.

It is no surprise that Sony will announce a new PlayStation this year. PlayStation 3 is pretty old already and it is time for a new gaming console. I’m only surprised that Sony is making the announcement so early. I was expecting the announcement to be during E3 in June.

Anyway, there are rumors that the next PlayStation will be priced around US$400. That will be pretty attractive. But we’ll have to wait till the official announcement first. In the meantime, here’s a teaser video to keep you entertained while waiting.

The next generation PlayStation is expected to be announced on 20 February 2013, 6PM EST. If I’m not wrong, that’s 21 February 7am for Singapore.

It is slow news week. That’s why when the official Xbox blogger Major Nelson posted a countdown on his site with the text “And it’s on…”, everyone start speculating that a new Xbox is coming.

But then, what else could it be? After all, Microsoft is expected to release the next generation XBox this year. What better time to do it than during E3? Anyway, we will find out 11 June.

There used to be a time when Apple Live Stream their Keynote. But they haven’t been doing that for several years and all we tech enthusiast and Apple fanboy have to rely on the live blogging.

Well, good news. Apple is going to Live Stream the 23 October Keynote. A new “Apple Events” channel also appeared on the Apple TV.

It is rumoured that Apple will announce a 7ish inch iPad and maybe a 13 inch MacBook Pro Retina Display. We’ll find out about it in a few hours time.

It is great to see Apple Live Streaming their event again. Let’s hope their server is able to handle the load. But if the server can’t handle the load, there is always Live Blogging sites to keep you up to date.

The Apple Keynote will happen on 23 October 2012, 10:00 a.m. PDT (24 Oct, 1am Singapore time)
