Its time for upgrading once again as rumors are saying Apple will be releasing the all new iOS 4.3 

BGR reports that they have at least one source who has stated that iOS 4.3 will be released for iPad, iPod touch 3G & 4G, and the iPhone 3GS & 4 GSM models at 10 am PT today.

They also are reporting that the hotspot feature will be able to connect up to five devices to the internet. This feature will only be available to you if you pay more through your carrier, though.

I believe our carriers here in SinCity(Singapore) unlike AT&T will not start charging us as many can hardly cross the 2GB barrier out of the 12GB data given and there is also the unlimited cap. We shall wait and see.

Either way, it’s updating time!

Update: the firmware is out Direct Link

iPhone Price Plan War

Now that Starhub and M1 are both going to start carrying iPhone in Singapore from 9 Dec onwards, Singtel will no longer be monopolizing on the iPhone market. This will definitely be good news to those who wish to jump on to the iPhone wagon as prices gets more competitive between Singapore's 3 cellular network provider.

Looking at the price plan across these 3 service providers, it is clear that M1 is the better choice. With 10GB of data bundle and a price cap at $36, who wouldn't be interested?

For those that aren't interested before about the iPhone 3GS for whatever the reason, be it the size, the price, now it is the time to get it. It will be the best phone experience you will ever get. Already having an iPod Touch is no excuse to ditch the iPhone, it is an UPGRADE, and that was Apple's plan all along! Read the following article: iPod Touch, Apple's "Weapon of Mass Comsumption".

For the different pricing, check out Starhub, M1.

Someone also tabulated out the comparison of all 3 service providers on a Google spread sheet.

I really hope that Singtel would revise its plans too, especially for existing customers like me. 1GB is apparently not enough, i have burst it this month already and had to turn off 3G and GPRS totally, crippling my iPhone with only Wi-Fi to fall back on.
