Swedish Camera Company Hasselblad and Italian Supercar Maker Ferrari have collaborated on a limited edition model of the Hasselblad H4D camera.

The Ferrari limited edition is built based on a standard Hasselblad H4D camera painted "rosso fuoco" red and a Ferrari logo applied.

Hasselblad will build just 499 units of its H4D Ferrari. More details about this limited run Ferrari Official Licensed Gadgets will be reveal in coming October by the Camera Company.

In US, Chevrolet Cruze recently won the Sound-off Competition between other cars with factory-installed audio systems like Toyota and Honda.

Matt Kirsch, lead audio engineer for the Chevrolet Cruze, spends more than 500 hours a year listening to car audio systems. He has made public his own Top 10 list for testing the mettle of our own sound systems.

1. "Don't Know Why" by Norah Jones. Listen for Norah's voice to sound natural, and centered in front of you.
2. "Diamonds and Rust" by Joan Baez. Listen for strong vocals, and for the instruments to be set across a wide sound stage.
3. "No One" by Alicia Keys. Listen for clarity in Alicia's vocals and spacious background sound.
4. "Hotel California" by the Eagles. Listen for the clarity and dynamic range during the opening guitar solo, and of course the powerful drum beat.
5. "Boom Boom Pow" by the Black Eyed Peas. Listen for powerful, accurate bass beats, even at full volume.
6. "Rock that Body" by the Black Eyed Peas. Listen clear, intelligible lyrics over the powerful, persistent bass beat.
7. "Hide and Seek" by Imogen Heap. Listen for the enveloping ambience of the song, building on the openness and dynamic vocals.
8. "He Mele No Lilo" by Mark Keali'i Ho'omalu from Lilo and Stitch.Listen for the ambience and staging as the children's chorus is offset by powerful bass.
9. "Bird on a Wire" by Johnny Cash. Listen for the clarity in Johnny's distinctive voice, and his guitar to sound natural and free of any coloration.
10. "Packt Like Sardines in a Crushd Tin Box" by Radiohead. Listen for the punch from the percussive bass, and the ring of the steel drums.

The song list is varied between genres and decades, and its jam packed with a plethora of instruments to stretch the legs on your tweeters, mid-range units and on down to the subs.

Don’t believe? Try it out yourself…

Users of Apple iPod Touch could get GSM Cellular features on their existing media player. Absolutely no problem at all, you can add a SIM card and start calling or texting with iPod Touch. Fair enough, you don’t have to queue to buy iPhone when is initially launch by Telco. Just go to your local Apple stores or resellers to buy an Apple iPod Touch and buy one of those China-made 'Apple Peel' turns iPod Touch into a phone.

Chinese firm Yosion Technology, which is based in Shenzhen, has developed the Apple Peel 520 protective case, which will be available online for about $57 with a one-year warranty.

According to a review in Chinese on PConline, the accessory fixes onto the iPod Touch and comes with a dock connector, a built-in 800mAh battery (rated for 4.5 hours of talk time and five days on standby) and a SIM card slot. This Apple Peel 520 will only work with a jailbroken iPod Touch as the Yosion and YsSMS apps have to be installed for calling and messaging, and these will be able to run in the background. The Peel 520 will initially launch with a silicone rubber case, but a plastic version can be expected in the future.

On the negative aspect, there's no auto screen lock when the handset is next to the ear and no caller name/number display due to no Proximity sensor affixed.

During the hands-on test of the prototype, Bluetooth and hands-free calling weren't available. But these will supported on the retail version of the Peel 520. According to initial tests by the reviewer, there is no reported of any dropped calls, although there was noticeable lag before the iPod Touch registered an incoming call.

No Telco Contract, lower unit price and no queue… Now is your choice now. What you think?

If you are considering to buying an iPad... maybe you should stop and consider the upcoming tablet computer by BlackBerry maker Research In Motion Ltd.

RIM will unveils its new tablet computer with 7 inch screen and new operating system on next week at a developers' conference in San Francisco. Currently, the Blackberry tablet is known as BlackPad. It is scheduled for release in the Q4 of this year. It will feature one or two built-in cameras too.

According to the people who've worked on the new OS. They say it's a worthy competitor to Apple's and Google's platforms, and could go a long way toward addressing complaints that RIM's devices are slow, unstable and hard to program for.

By time, when RIM is ready for announcements and product demonstrations, probably I will have more details on the features of the new BlackPad as well as the new OS.

Check out the table of some existing and upcoming tablet computers after the jump.

Anyway.... check out the video taken during the ad shooting in Cambodia and the official ads after the jump.

David Tao is one of the most famous singers/songwriters in the "Mandopop" industry. He is best known for creating a unique mixture of a cappella, folk, R&B, rock and Chinese opera. Tao's works not only revolve around traditional themes of love but also deal with social and cultural issues. He has been called "the Godfather of Mandopop." With the release of his sixth album, "Zero To Hero," in 2009, Tao is now shifting his career focus from music to film so that he can pursue his other lifelong dream and passion.

Firstly, apologise to all my readers here that I have not updated my blog for nearly a month. I know I've been really horrible about updating my blog recently. Sorry about that! I just wish I had more time in the day!!!

The sad thing is… I am back from my long vacation by visiting Thailand and my holiday getaway at down under. Now, I got to bond back to my routine workforce. I have tons of photos, but it's taking me too long to copy them to my computer and share all of the recent things I've been doing lately.
