Small and mobile, yet provides good real estate for reading and browsing the web. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktcPF4tJ5QA (YouTube video link) The Good Great battery life especially if Samsung’s power savings enabled. With 3G on all day will leave the office with 60+% at 5+ All in one device having dual cameras for typical photo/video taking (rear camera) as well as video calling (front camera) microSD card slot and USB-OTG for added expandability and capabilities Phone calls can be taken privately by holding the tablet up to your ear (without the need for a headset) Tablet UI allows more information to be displayed on screen Flash is supported in the Samsung browser The Bad https://cornergeeks.com/2011/12/26/huawei-s7-slim/ Mon, 26 Dec 2011 02:27:26 +0000 https://cornergeeks.com/2011/12/26/huawei-s7-slim/ Along with the Huawei Ideos X5 we managed to take a look at the Huawei S7 Slim which is an updated version of the Huawei S7. A more budget friendly (B$499) 3G tablet with phone capabilities, it has a similar UI to the original S7 which is a more landscape oriented and also has a lot of space for apps (2.7GB+). The original Galaxy Tab is currently going for B$575 at Shopping. https://cornergeeks.com/2011/12/20/huawei-ideos-x5/ Tue, 20 Dec 2011 09:17:16 +0000 https://cornergeeks.com/2011/12/20/huawei-ideos-x5/ I managed to take a look at the Huawei Ideos X5 that I first laid hands on at the TechXpo 2011. It is a very decent device at an affordable price of B$399. My only gripe is the lack of a front facing camera which means you will not be able to do normal video chats. If it had a front facing camera, this device would be one of the best budget Android phones. https://cornergeeks.com/2011/11/30/the-bmobile-pure-budget-android-phone/ Wed, 30 Nov 2011 06:14:13 +0000 https://cornergeeks.com/2011/11/30/the-bmobile-pure-budget-android-phone/ The bmobile Pure is a budget Android phone running Android 2.2 and has pretty device specs but a pretty good 3.8" high resolution screen. The high resolution 3.8" screen makes it nice to read and surf the Internet but the 256MB RAM may be limiting for multi-tasking and general smoothness of the device. I was not able to get the Flash apk to try install and test Flash on the device but the 600 MHz CPU may not be capable of Flash, so I wouldn’t expect it to run. https://cornergeeks.com/2011/08/13/the-htc-flyer/ Sat, 13 Aug 2011 02:19:56 +0000 https://cornergeeks.com/2011/08/13/the-htc-flyer/ We managed to get our hands on the HTC Flyer at Yappe Computer, Serusop, and it seems like a good 7" Android Tablet: an alternative to the older Galaxy Tab. It’s selling for B$859 (cash price) / B$886 (credit card price) for the 32GB model. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Y5d-tks9vM (YouTube link to video) Specifications 7" 1024x600 multi-touch capacitive screen Stylus for use with the active digitizer screen Android 2.3 with Sense 2.1 1.5GHz CPU 32GB storage (~7GB available for apps, ~20GB available as storage) 1GB RAM microSD card slot 5MP rear camera with auto focus (no flash) 1. https://cornergeeks.com/2011/08/11/creating-a-brunei-apple-app-store-account-without-a-credit-card/ Thu, 11 Aug 2011 02:09:54 +0000 https://cornergeeks.com/2011/08/11/creating-a-brunei-apple-app-store-account-without-a-credit-card/ As mentioned in our episode of Corner Geeks 8: The Brunei Apple App Store, the video below documents how to create a Brunei account without a credit card. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiH8eg8G0do Do note: not all apps seem available (e.g. WhatsApp) but most seem there. no music / movies / TV shows available AV mentioned that they currently selling Brunei iTune gift cards The gist of the process: Load the App Store in iTunes Search for a free app (e. https://cornergeeks.com/2011/08/08/sony-ericsson-xperia-mini-pro-a-great-budget-android-phone/ Mon, 08 Aug 2011 15:30:47 +0000 https://cornergeeks.com/2011/08/08/sony-ericsson-xperia-mini-pro-a-great-budget-android-phone/ Among my usual habits, I will check availability and prices of phones on Incomm and I was surprised to see the Xperia Mini Pro going for B$378. This phone seems to be a phone I would buy, if I didn’t buy my LG Optimus One, as a great budget Android phone which seems to have the least compromises. Check out the video that I managed to get at Incomm as I played with the device. https://cornergeeks.com/2011/07/15/the-zoom-h1-handy-recorder/ Fri, 15 Jul 2011 03:40:10 +0000 https://cornergeeks.com/2011/07/15/the-zoom-h1-handy-recorder/ Earlier this year I bought the Zoom H1 Handy Recorder off eBay (US$105 including shipping) to be used as a line-in recording for my church but also for possible podcasting use. It has been used both as a stereo microphone as well as a line-in recorder for Corner Geeks. Check out the video review below or click this YouTube link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgjtRBSIsWk Overall, it’s a great budget recorder that can be powered over USB but sadly cannot be used as a USB microphone. https://cornergeeks.com/2011/07/10/podcasting-setup-in-os-x-version-1/ Sun, 10 Jul 2011 05:36:08 +0000 https://cornergeeks.com/2011/07/10/podcasting-setup-in-os-x-version-1/ This is the first version of my podcasting setup that I’m relatively happy with as it is clean without too much things going on. I’ve used this for Corner Geeks and some Tech Talk Coffee Shop episodes. If you’re curious of what podcasting is, it is the production of podcasts. Podcasts are basically recorded shows that are downloadable off the Internet. Do listen to Simply Geek #8 – Podcasting where they discuss it in further detail. https://cornergeeks.com/2011/07/01/live-stream-setup-for-ran8adidas/ Fri, 01 Jul 2011 11:47:49 +0000 https://cornergeeks.com/2011/07/01/live-stream-setup-for-ran8adidas/ So a couple of weeks back we had the honour of live streaming of Ran8adidas (the 8th year anniversary celebrations of Ranoadidas.com) at the International Convention Center (ICC). We share with you how we managed to get mobile video in the field with the ability to add overlays and mix the audio source with any audio source while at the same time live streaming and recording it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GtsU0dhJIs (Watch on YouTube) https://cornergeeks.com/2011/06/23/huawei-ideos-s7-overview/ Thu, 23 Jun 2011 02:00:14 +0000 https://cornergeeks.com/2011/06/23/huawei-ideos-s7-overview/ I managed to stumble upon the Huawei IDEOS S7 at Yappe IT Store in Serusop selling for B$399 (cash price) and when recording the video below I noticed that quite a few of them have already been bought. Check out the video giving an overview of the device http://youtube.com/watch?v=xVaOxUi0eUQ Specifications CPU: 750 MHz Qualcomm Snapdragon (source: UMPCportal as we forgot to check the processor but it seemed decent enough) GPU: Adreno 200 7" 800x480 (WVGA) Capactive Multi-Touch Screen Android 2. https://cornergeeks.com/2011/06/03/the-nokia-n900-icecast-server/ Fri, 03 Jun 2011 01:25:34 +0000 https://cornergeeks.com/2011/06/03/the-nokia-n900-icecast-server/ This is the Icecast setup to stream radio from a Nokia N900 as discussed in Corner Geeks Episode 2.

As with most Android tablets the specs are somewhat typical: 10" (1280x800) with dual cameras running on the nVidia Tegra2. @mfirdaus and I managed to play around with the device for over an hour and below is the video overview we took of it. Below the video are further thoughts of the device and sample photos and videos from the device itself.
