At March 8, 2am (SG Time), Apple will be unveiling something(s) at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco. We have always dream of the day when we actually see such an invite in our mailbox, but as they say: Dream on…

But well, here are some of those who will be there and will be updating with text and photos of the event:

• Macworld live updates
• MacStories live blog
• TUAW live blog
• Engadget live update
• Ars Technica live blog
• The Loop live updates
• Giga Om live blog
• iMore live updates
• AllThingsD live updates
• The Verge live coverage
• gdgt live coverage
• TWiT.TV live broadcast

I will have one browser tab on TWiT.TV as they somehow might be able to find some video or audio stream of the event, and the pundits on the show are one of the best. Hopefully the hospital’s WiFi will be fast enough to stream the videos. Next will probably be the ones from Ars Technica and AllThingsD.

Ready for tonight?

In Singapore, IT fairs are like the indicators that mark the changing of the seasons: IT show in March (Spring), PC Show in June (Summer), Comex in September (Autumn) and Sitex in November (Winter). Days before each show, pamphlets from various shops and brands can be seen collated at sites displaying all their sales and promotions. To those who don’t shop around, those promo bubbles which shouts out discounts and product bundles might seem like a heavenly deal. But to season IT shoppers, most will tell you with a shrug, that these are similar to deals available at stores.

So it was a surprise to see Straits Time publishing this article No more juice Apple deals at major IT fairs on the front page of the Home section.

In the article, Apple Australia has informed re-sellers here to sell Apple products only in their approved stores, instead of promoting them at such IT fairs, citing concerns over diluting image of the brand. As Apple products are price-controlled, re-sellers can only bundle in goodies in the form of memory upgrades, software installation or throwing in a printer or other Apple products. At the same time, not to discriminate customers visiting either the IT store or their own stores, they will have the same promotion at both locations.

End of the day, what Apple did is no big deal. You still get the same juicy deals whether you put yourself through the pain and hassle of squeezing with thousands of people and get your feet run over by mini trolleys carrying big ass monitors and printers, or walk leisurely to the multiple Apple Shops or Premium Re-sellers all over the island. Or better still, open your browser and go to Apple’s Online Store and get it delivered to your doorstep.

If any of the Re-Sellers have any promotions, feel free to contact us and we will be glad to post them out here.

After a long hiatus, we are back with a brand new look and looking forward to an exciting 2012.

Starting with the upcoming March 7 event, where Apple will be announcing the iPad 3 and maybe throw in an AppleTV 3 as well. The special event will be on March 8, 2am Singapore Time. We will update with live links, reviews and detail coverage from people who are there, as well as prominent blogs and tech sites.

Do join us on Twitter and in the near future, the re-opening of the Facebook Page. In the mean time, contact us if you have any tips and promos to share, or any exclusive news.

Putting up this page as a placeholder to update any news from Apple Singapore and our three Telcos about the preorder/purchase of iPhone 4S.
