I am not sure if I have blogged about this bargain that doppy stumbled upon before.
In the days of yond, when he used to work in the building where they hang posters teaching you how to ask questions correctly instead of the Singlish way, his favourite haunt was Funan, the IT Mall.
One day, while he was strolling in the ba-da-big Challenger store, he saw
on sale for $15!
He rubbed his eyes a few times, took the escalator down to the other stores and checked the price tag for the same product: $149.
Of course he rushed back to Challenger and profited from some poor sod's wrong tagging of price on the keyboard.
Today, I am the end user who gets to benefit from this purchase. As it uses IR to connect with the keyboard instead of bluetooth, I figured that it would save more energy for my TREO.
I simply cannot justify paying $199 for aesthetic and vanity when this one works fine lah. :)
