Netvigator Pocket WiFi



WiFi everywhere, does it sounds like an interesting service ? It can connect up to 5 WiFi devices too. At the beginning, I was confused between this Pocket WiFi and the hotspot WiFi PCCW has been advertising about before. Have checked it out from the website. It seems the pocket Wifi thingy is like a wireless router that connects to the 3G or HSPA wireless network for sharing. This service is not too cheap. For unlimited usage, it costs you HK$328 a month with 24-month contract. I just wonder who will use this service and if you pay attention to the details, the highest connection speed is 7.2Mbps, to be shared with 5 devices. The actual speed also depends on the environment and network stability. So you can imagine the speed when it's really shared by 5 people.

I have a trial at one of the PCCW shops. I wish to use the pocket wifi to connect to my iphone 3G so that I can use Skype. Skype on iphone requires wifi access and not 3G signal. However, after connect to the pocket wifi, I cannot login to Skype. Connecting to normal PCCW hotspot wifi had not problem through. Not sure PCCW purposely block the service to protect their voice busincess. Interested to find out whether other people has similar experience.

PUMA Agitation watch

Image
This is a new line of sport watches from PUMA called Agitiation. You may fall from the chair like I did when you read the copies. I can understand the thinking behind the ad : when you sell a plastic watch at HK$550, you would just need to think about some catchy selling points for it. The biggest selling point of this watch is the strap. There are holes in the strap (so called cheese cut-out) to make the watch as light as 45 grams so that you can run faster ! What's more, there are so many colours to choose from. It doesn't matter whether you have a fair or tanned skin complexion ... there's one for you ... I bet this watch is produced and marketed under licence granted by the brand owner of PUMA. Too bad that the licence is given to the wrong hands. It's Ok if this watch doesn't sell as it is the business of the licensee after all. However, a BS ad like this may have negative image impact on the PUMA brand in a way.

Giordano's frog

Image
One student asked me why Giordano re-uses its frog logo from ages ago. I said I know don't know. Really ! Giordano is a value-for-money brand. If it prints its logo onto the T-shirts and jeans, be it the frog or anything that says "Giordano", will sales increase ? Probably not. Giordano is a brand you wear but you don't want to admit. It's not a brand like Nike or LV that can uplift your image after all. So if it puts the frog back onto its product, there may be adverse effect on its sales. I haven't visited its store at the time of writing but according to its website, it hasn't added back the frog to its products. I wouldn't do that either. So what is the point of having the frog back in its print and advertising materials ? To remind us of its good old days ?

Benefiber ad

Image
Benefiber is quite a new product concept. Fiber powder that you can add to your favourite food, making fiber intake easy. I'm not sure whether such a new concept would be accepted by consumers. But one thing for sure. It's rather inappropriate to use 韜韜 as the endorser. He's a cute old man and I personally quite like him. He loves eating and the more I see him eating in front of the camera, the more I'm worried about his health condition. It looks like he's going to burst ! The question is whether he's a credible one to endorse a diet-realted health food at all. It may be more credible for him to endorse a slimming house when he manages to lose 100 lb.
