Hi I am thinking of getting my next phone with above average photo and video capabilities. i detest those with lousy cameras that are so prone to blurring.
I want it to be able to take pictures of people walking or dancing not standing still or frozen!!

I also like decent buttons to sent sms with clear voice reception (even with bluetooth).

Which phone should I consider? size can be up to 6 or 7 inch, I do not mind if it is for the better.

new iMac 21 inch vs 13 inch MacAir

portsmouth — Thu, 13 Dec 2012 14:11:24 +0800

21.5-inch iMac, 2.7GHz quad-core Intel Core i5 processor (Turbo Boost up to 3.2GHz) with 6MB L3 cache, 8GB (two 4GB) of 1600MHz DDR3 memory, 21.5-inch (diagonal) LED-backlit display with IPS technology; 1920-by-1080, NVIDIA GeForce GT 640M graphics processor with 512MB of GDDR5 memory, OS X Mountain Lion & i Life, 2012 december -Apple New i Mac !

13-inch (diagonal) high-resolution LED-backlit glossy, 128GB flash storage, 1.8GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 (Turbo Boost up to 2.8GHz) with 3MB shared L3 cache, Intel HD Graphics 4000, OS X Mountain Lion & i Life 2012 MacAir 13 inch laptop

I am considering whether to get an i Mac or MacAir in the family. There's only rm300 difference between these two models. Currently I have uniFi hypp tv and Apple TV which is connected to the home theater and 50 inch plasma 1920x1080 tv. We also have i pads and windows 7 based desktops in the house.

My vehicle allows me to plug the 21 inch iMac into my Alphard power sockets. Not sure if places like Starbucks or MacDonalds allows a 21 inch all in one to be plugged there or not.

Which is a good buy?
