Hey guys (and gals!),

Sorry for being so late in publishing up my article.

Seriously, i'm so tempted. It just makes everything more convenient. And connection is made simpler, don't you think so?

Of course, with technology that advances by leaps and bounds within short time, we can expect even more convergence of media. And all's going to be put into a simple gadget!

I can't believe this! Imagine in a few years' time, we can control everything with our phone - TV, Internet, Radio etc. And the best part is, we can even CHOOSE what we want (look, choosing what you want to watch during you free time IS a possibility now! With MOBTV! So perhaps, choosing what you want to LISTEN on Radio could be the next possibility! Haha.. for all you noe, there might be a MOBRADIO or something!).

With so much to expect, I'm proud to be living in this E-ra.

Hail to media convergence and the technologies that make it all possible! =)

Pohying.
