If you are Malaysian and new to Twitter or you would like to connect with Malaysian twitter users, there is a list of 44 Malaysians you must follow on Twitter to begin with.

The list is created by Harinder Singh (@lightyoruichi), Malaysian geek, the Malaysia Country Ambassador at foursquare. He is following 1,999 twitter users. You can trust his list.

By the way, I am in the list, too! Though listed as “Apple Fan Boy #1″, I still prefer to be called as a “blogger” instead.

Also, here is the list of “most influential” Malaysians on Twitter (wefollow.com). I’m the 18th

Apple announced the new Apple TV (also known as iTV), a cheap small black box that stream content from Internet and your computer or iDevices. Is it worth to buy if you are outside U.S? Read on.

Hardware

Apple TV is powered by A4 chip, same as iPad, iPhone 4, and the new iPod touch. It supports WiFi 802.11a/b/g/n and 100Mbps Ethernet network.

Apple TV only has HDMI and optical audio output. Support HD video (720p) format. No built-in storage.

Price: USD$99

Getting content onto Apple TV

With new iTunes movies and TV shows rental, you can purchase and watch rentals on Apple TV. You have 30 days to start watching, and watch as many times as you want in 24 hours for movie rental ($3 or $4) and 48 hours for TV show rental ($3).

Beside iTunes store, Apple TV also support content on Netflix, YouTube, MobileMe, and Flickr. With new AirPlay, you can stream your digital video and music to Apple TV from your computer, iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch.

Apple announced all new iPod shuffle with buttons, iPod nano with multi-touch display, and iPod Touch with retina display and cameras for FaceTime. Read on for what’s new about the iPod family and the iPod price in Malaysia Apple Store.

New iPod Touch: Retina display, FaceTime, camera, HD video recording

Yes! Apple iPod touch now has 2 build-in camera, front-camera for FaceTime and back-camera for shooting HD video(720p) and (low quality) photos. Like the iPhone 4, new iPod touch has the Retina display and A4 chip (read: better performance).

The FaceTime on iPod touch allows you to make video calls to family and friends (with new iPod touch or iPhone 4) over WiFi network. It’s free. Like games? The new Game Center on iPod touch lets you add friends to your gaming network and challenge them.

Did I tell you that new iPod touch is even thinner than the previous model? The battery life is 40 hours music playback and 7 hours video.

If you are thinking, “Now iPod touch has camera, it is the iPhone 4 without only call function and GPS”. You are almost correct.

Sadly, the camera build-in iPod touch is meant for video shooting. The photo shooting resolution is ONLY 960×720 pixels. Why 960 pixel for photo height, and not HD video’s 1280 pixels? Well, I guess it is because the iPod touch screen resolution is 960x640 pixels.

In short, iPod touch does NOT have a great camera, forget about taking great photo with it.

Price: USD$229 (8GB), USD$299 (32GB) and USD$399 (64GB)

Malaysia price: RM829 (8GB), RM1079 (32GB) and RM1399 (64GB) (estimated ship: 4-5 weeks)

* No 16GB iPod touch model.
