IT Expo again!

Once again, there was another IT Expo in Singapore, this time in Suntec City Convention Center. This time, the expo was much larger in every sense of the word -- bigger venue, more vendors, more gadgets, larger crowds!

Anyway, we didn't go to every booth in the expo because (1) we were looking for something specific, and (2) I'm flat-footed. :D

We got our friend the white Sony T2 (same as our digicam), with lots of freebies (as expected). She originally wanted the blue one but this time, the Sony only included the black and the white T2 in the Expo, so she had to settle for the white one.

As for us, we were looking for external hard drives. We went for the largest and cheapest one we could find: Western Digital's MyBook Essential Edition with 1 terrabyte disk space. We initially wanted just the portable USB-powered hard disk with the largest capacity available, but we decided that the 1TB hard drive (sold at a discounted price) is simply to good to pass up. Besides, we already have 2 portable hard drives; not very large but they serve their purpose just fine. :)
Why Western Digital, you ask? Well, during the time that we were there, it was the cheapest 1Tb disk sold. We saved around S$100, so that's good enough for us.

Check out the pictures of the above in Che's post here.

Another good buy, we think, is the Olympus camera. The freebie included is an 80GB Seagate portable hard disk. Not bad for someone who wants both a digital camera AND a portable disk. I just forgot which model it was. Tin, anong model ba yun? :)
